Buy Betrayer

Mediocre FPS, bad easily fooled AI, slooow moving arrows.

Setting is great, would have been nice with voiced narration and NPC but this works well enough. “Detective” part of the game is…….run from one place to another. But the stories out there is as dark as promised. Have not finished the game when I am writing this but the main storyline have so far eluded me as I enter the third area. Would be nice with a skill tree as you solve mysteries everything for character progression is linked through gear.

As long as you are NOT searching for a BOOM headshot game but for something different out there i would recommend this.

This was a good game. It's more of a story and a very interesting art style than most other games. This playes like a point and click adventure in 3d, however there is a fair bit of battling as well.

Tragic tales of corrupted human spirit uncovered through exploration of the visually stylish open world.

This is very ambitious game which somewhat suffers because of its ambitions. It has great visual style, good sound design and very good storytelling. Stories of the dead colonists are dark, intriguing and they are unveiling in a very interesting way. The biggest issue with this game is its open world which makes atmospheric walks in the black-and-white forests VERY repetitive VERY soon. Consider this before buying - if you can overlook cliche side quests and grinding for enjoying overall visual and sound design plus engaging storytelling, then you will most likely enjoy it.

This is seriously a great game for its price. I got it on sale for $1 and it gave me about 10 hours of enjoyment. I often find most games boring and tedious and even though this game requires a lot of backtracking and running back and forth, I still found it pretty fun. In contrast I finished 'Rise of Tomb Raider' in about 12 hours and paid about fifty times as much money for the same amount of gameplay as what Betrayer had.

Betrayer is very unique. Everything from its colour palette to its mysterious story is something that I have not seen done anywhere before, and to date I haven't played really any game like it. The graphics were great and the game looked pretty amazing in 4K and played far better than I expected. I was really surprised at how well optimised the game is. I turned colour on for my playthrough because I felt that the high contrast and black and white visuals would hurt my eyes after a short period. Roughly half the game is still in black and white however even if you turn back on the colour, and I feel that this was a perfect balance.

For the most realistic colour I used the following settings: Dark Intensity (2.8), Light Intensity (1.1), Colour Saturation (1.0). I found these settings delivered the most perfect balance of light and shadows and provided me with a rich stealth experience.

It's the year 1604 so expect medieval weapons like bows and surprisingly enough 'guns'. The game is mostly a hide and seek, hunter and stealth styled game. You wake up shipwrecked on a beach and must find clues as to what catastrophe blighted the land.

This is a first person stealth game with enemies that are quite unique. I won't go into any detail as to spoil them because finding new and increasingly challenging enemies was very much part of the quality experience that I had. Some enemies are really quite creepy and a few particular encounters can be really tough.

Graphics: 8/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Story: 6/10
Pacing: 7/10
Replay Value: 3/10
Music: 2/10
Voice Acting: 0/10
Bugs: None really that I could find

My only complaints are due to all the running back and forth just to speak to NPCs again after getting an extra clue and also I found that the end-game is non-existent. Basically all you can do is clean up NPC enemies for achievements.

A lower-budget Far Cry in the 17th Century. I wouldn't say it's the scariest game I've ever played, but the fact that you and one other NPC are the only living, sane people in this colony gives it an eerie, suspenseful atmosphere. It has many murder mystery quests as well. The combat and stealth mechanics are a lot of fun, forcing you to think ahead. Finally, the graphics are impressive given its indie status.

Loved this game! been a while since I've experienced such an engaging game such as this one. Excellent gameplay and story

Incredible atmosphere, brilliant storytelling, phenomenal sound design, and an all around gorgeous game. So glad I played it, and I want to play through it all over again soon.

• Good atmosphere
  
• Two different dimensions and many lost soulds with mysteries to solve about their past
  
• Decent combat
  
• Good graphics for an indie game

• While the combat was decent generally, at times it can be a pain in the bun (I'm talking about those savages)
  
• Gets repetitive
  
• Horrible stealth mechanics (Sort of forgivable because this isn't a stealth-centered game)

My score: 6/10

A very atmospheric arcadey shooter with survival elements and a twist: automatic guns haven't been invented yet. Can get repetitive at some point, but it keeps you going until you answer that one fatal question: "What the ♥♥♥♥'s going on here?"

PROS/CONS
+Very atmospheric. Interesting (literally) monochromatic approach adds to that, but it is optional, which is nice.
+Gameplay fits the setting AND is fun. I never thought musket firefighting could be thrilling.
+Hard, but balanced. 1 to 10 disadvantages eventually become 1 on 1, with progression and adaptation.
~~ It is not action packed, nor an horror game. It's something in between.
~~ Story may appear to be disconnected tales in the beginning. Might discourage immediatists.
- Stealth system is almost ignorable. Fire your first shot and perhaps remain unseen. That is, if you haven't been spotted on the move.
- It gets repetitive. Objectives are usually the same. Enemies hardly ever change. Plotline makes you keep moving.
