Inner Chains
An FPS horror game set in a surreal, dark and deadly biomechanical world never seen before. One does not get to set the rules in the world of Inner Chains. Humankind is just a small part of a hostile universe. Want to survive? Discover its secrets. A planet in the distant future. A rock floating in space that is no longer what it had once been. Without human interference, nature has been adapting to the new conditions, reclaiming what was once taken away. In its pursuit of perfection, it began to assimilate with the abandoned technology giving life to biomechanical beings. Left to its own devices, man-made technology has also changed as it tried to adjust to the new environment. A strong symbiosis soon developed between technology and nature. It became difficult to determine what is alive and what is mechanical in the world of Inner Chains.

I'm a little bent with this one because it's honestly a well-made and fun game, it's just kinda repetitive.
I mean, the graphics, cut-scenes, environments, and atmosphere are all stunning. The soundtrack is passable and the game-play is engaging and unique enough to not be too cookie cutter. The world is actually kinda interesting, and I think the fact that you as a player aren't special, you're just another prisoner who happened to get lucky is pretty cool. Also, the fact that your wrist and gun are the HUD is neat. Overall, it IS fun.
The problem with it and I think the reason why it has such mixed reviews is that progression is quite slow in the beginning, enemy variety isn't bad but definitely could be better, and it overall feels like they were trying to stretch the game without a ton of content to back it up. I do think this is made worse by the somewhat lackluster story (and meh voice acting, though still impressive for non-native English speakers). Also, it's not a horror game, it just sorta has the world of one.
That's why this is kind of a tough one to rate, the core game is awesome, so much potential. I think if they made the game shorter and maybe added an enemy type or two and if they just dedicated some extra time to fleshing out the story, I think this game could have been an easy 8/10
But as it stands, I'm sorry I gotta give it a pained:
6.5/10
Only get it on sale though cause full price, it's closer to a:
5-5.5/10

decent on Deck medium graphics
around 45 fps and good controller layout
fps did drop a bit when some fire animations on screen but only happened a couple of times and the end boss was laggy
similar style to Scorn only fighting cultists instead of cave creatures
explore was fine only tedious toward the end of game, finding last collectables was a bit painful
cheap and fun

Unsure why it's getting so many bad reviews, I can only assume a kickstarted promised something else and people were not happy.
I stumbled upon this game by accident it's exactly the kind of game I was searching for. It has that art and atmosphere vibe going first, similar to Scorn, Agony, Necrophosis.
I'm not done with the game, but so far I am happy that I stumbled upon it. Performance is at time ass, seems to be very CPU heavy of all things, kinda weird for a 2017 game, the sound design is ok-ish, if it didn't bug out or cut out so often.

Personally i loved it and had a good time on it. In some ways it could have been better, specially for the gameplay but the artistic work is great and the atmosphere is immersive. But they need to go further. Can't wait for another game like that. I recommend it.

the worldbuilding was really something else not all game worlds feel convincing doesnt feel copy and pasted there is some re-used assets its more for mobs while the gameplay isnt to in depth the scenery is it
