Just beat GYLT and it was... beautiful

SpoilerDiscussion

I loved the Silent Hill inspiration. Also had some Alan Wake vibes too. But the premise, the journey, exploration, revelation, self reflection, atonement. Surprisingly heavy and poignant. I can't help but feel like the lukewarm reviews were a reflection more on Stadia's bumpy launch and the initial price point than the game itself.

Finished it last week. Nice idea behind it, but the gameplay is very repetitive. Every level like the same. The whole time you just hiding behind the boxes. Boring. 5/10

It difficult to play a game like this after playing The Last of Us. The bar has been set super high.

It'its a cool game. But 6 or 7 out of 10 at best seems fair.

I finished it last night as well and I gotta say the pacing was just perfect,
it feels good to be able to say I got around to finishing a game again.
In turn thanks to the portability of Stadia however strange that may sound.
Before I went out to the Mines I did however have to go back for 4 items:
1 Quartz, 1 inhabitant and 2 notes.
Felt like a breath of fresh air not having to go about a gigantic map and ticking of checkboxes in order to feel like I accomplished something. A well contained story, nice setting and pretty art style is a good game in my book. Would give it a 7/10 for sure.

It's a fun little game. Reminds me of the Monsters Inc world

I haven't won it yet but I only put in a bit of time on the weekends towards it.

Too busy still playing Rust :) MAN that game is addictive. I will purchase Rust again if it comes to Stadia, and I'll happily pay full price

Yeah I definitely played it in smaller doses around my main games

If you can play their previous game Rime, it's far better

I have Rime and I do not like this game, Gylt is much better for me .

I am enjoying it as well. Especially if you play at a slow pace the game doesn't get boring. The game is something different, slow and moody. I wouldn't have bought it but really glad it is a pro game.
