Bad reviews here are only from those who have not even played the game. The average rating from owners is 4.7. And it is very high.
Despite some mess with the graphics (you quickly get used to it), but then .... The game is actually quite good, it returns the feeling of playing the Heretic and Hexen, only with random levels (a little repetitive, but quite right-maded random), the feeling of weapons is good, the elements of looting are pleasant (especially to find some legendary gun). The gameplay is peppy, the plot is not crocked (in the style of American McGee Alice with a heroine with a slightly "traveled cuckoo in the head").
In fact, this is a correctly made retro-style shooter with well-deserved ratings in Steam (very positive), no worse than that of the Project Warlock.
I hope those who rated game such low without even trying to play for 10 minutes will be ashamed (although I doubt it).

Bought and played this game for an hour, its quite fun but its obviously unfinished.

I'm glad that I bought it though, it really seems to be like one of those games that will just get better in the following months.

I view it as now Steam allows stuff for everyone now (for better or worse), whereas GOG has sort of attracted pickier people. Plus we're only hearing from the forum where everyone including me complains and wails and gnashes teeth because GOG is not the shining beacon of hope we all thought they were supposed to be. :P

Please go post your opinions on the game's forum, especially why you think it's unfinished.

Well i can say the same about DUSK .

I may do that soon if it helps out. However, I gonna play some more of the game to collect my thoughts to have a more grounded opinion about the game.

Steam's a binary system, and you're forced to choose 1, or 0.
So it's even worse than GOG's 1 to 5 system, also forced.
I refuse to use any review system that forces me to give it a numerical score, or accept any number scoring system.

Some of us, detest all these pixelated pieces of crap, that seem to infest both Steam, and GOG, by pretending retro means having 8-bit graphics.

These games fully deserve to be judged by making that graphics choice.
We judge them, by not buying them, so we can't review them even if we wanted to.

I don't expect amazing graphics, but I do expect the devs to at least use the power of modern 64-bit graphics.
Even 32-bits would be good enough, but no lower than that is acceptable to me.

When games could only be 8-bit, those devs would have loved to have even 1080p, and 32-bit CPU's.
Never mind the 4k screens, and 64-bit CPU's some of us now use.

It's the deliberate choice to downgrade I despise, and I was gaming back when 8-bit was all we had.
I was so disappointed that games remained 8-bit, when I got my 16-bit Amiga.
Then they had the valid excuse, that most gamers were still on that 8-bit hardware.

There is absolutely no excuse for going 8-bit now, most PC's are 64-bit these days.
I lost my 8-bit nostalgia goggles, in 1985, when I was using an Amiga, and I have no intention of wearing new ones.
As soon as I see pixelated graphics, that I know look awful on my 1440p monitor, I lose all interest in the game.
I shudder to think what they look like in 4k, or above.

Another thing is I judge games, based on my preferences, not what others think.
I can't stand lots of games, that I acknowledge as good games, just not what I like.
I also like a few acknowledged bad games, because I have fun, despite their obvious flaws.
Usually that means using mods to fix the flaws, but not always.

Hopefully after attending the GOG User Roast of Nightmare Reaper, ItBurn will still choose to release the next game he works on here.

Yep, it's sad to see so many dumb close minded people on GOG. More interested in shiny graphics than actual good gameplay.

NR has great gameplay and uses a very cool aesthetics. I LOVE IT.

Don't worry. It's fine if some people don't like the game or are turned away by the graphics. From all the time it's been on Steam, it's been clear that people love the game and that the graphics are. at least, fine. After the next episodes come out, word of mouth spreads and more streamers/youtubers make videos, people will see it for what it is. The game isn't done yet :p

Maybe an alternative could be creating a Kickstarter specifically for raising money for higher-quality art. "We've got a solid game but can't afford or don't have the skills to create the nicer artwork we want. Consider helping us afford that." You could even let people switch between artstyles.

Fair enough. Still in early acce- i mean in development. Was just an observation i had to all the negative comments talking about the graphics after having looked at the store page. :)

I do want to say i liked the origin/background story of the protagonist being in an asylum and fighting the demons in her dreams/imagination. ^^

The game crashed three times in a row now, always with the same error message, saying Galaxy64.dll couldn't be found.
Which is weird as it's in the games folder. (It wouldn't even be able to start without the .dll)

Anybody had a similar issue?

Edit: Make it a dozen times. :P
Edit2: Seems to have been save file related, started a new game and for some reason the error message stopped popping up.
