I have a real thing for Immersive Sim games, it's still such an underutilised genre and it takes a game like E.Y.E. to make you realise how much this genre could be.
E.Y.E. is a buggy, janky and ugly mess, with a few mechanics that are not only headscratching, but frustratingly difficult.
To say that E.Y.E. is not for everyone would be an understatement.
Upon starting the game, If you want any sort of a chance at lasting the first few hours you must sit through multiple tutorials which is already enough to turn most people off.
E.Y.E. doesn't have any English voice acting and all dialogue is conveyed through text, another off-putting aspect for some.
E.Y.E. is so extremely cryptic at times that you'd be forgiven in having no idea what to do- where to go- or what is even happening.
Now that all that is out of the way I can safely say that E.Y.E. is one of the most unique and interesting games I've ever played, almost anything you can think of can be done in this game and approaches to how you resolve the story and combat are boundless.
It takes a while to get the hang of E.Y.E. perhaps even more than any game I've played, but I can say with confidence that if you are one of those rare people this game is made for, that it will blow you away.
Side Note: Make sure you watch a couple of YouTube videos on this game before purchasing it, or in same cases even before starting the game.
I initially played the game for 2 hours thinking not much of it, but after watching some videos I came back raring to go and it took another couple of hours STILL to actually work out how to play.
