For those interested in the game, I believe there is an in-game document that lets you know that you are able to curb stomp downed enemies in order to keep them in an 'inactive' state instead of shooting them. Obviously this will help you conserve ammo in the long run.
And while not the scariest survival horror game it is certainly one of the best to come out, and it has a well-written, thought provoking story that'll stick with you long after you earned at least one of the endings.
The game literally has a note that says
"KICK THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN
KICK THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN
KICK THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN
KICK THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN
KICK THEM WHILE THEY ARE DOWN"
scribbled into it.
but damn i guess people really hate reading,
winder how tf the same people are even gonna get through later puzzles without reading through texts/reports/emails/letters and stuff
This game is astonishing, I knew it would be fantastic as soon as I picked up “The King in Yellow” in the demo.
Are you mad?
Lol, ya when I picked it up I went “oh shiiiiiiiit”
whats up with the king in yellow? picked it up too and had to end the game, now i am away from home for a few days. I looked it up on amazon and saw that its a real book. worth it?
@@oldsql725 The King in Yellow is a real book, yes, but it's a collection of short stories that *involve* a fictional play of the same name. This fictional play, which causes madness in those that read it and is associated with a strange alien city called Carcosa, is the book that is featured in Signalis, and understanding the background behind it provides a lot of context for the game's story.
I have the real book, I got it just few days before I started the game, that was so LOL. XD
I've been looking forward for this for a long time. So glad to learn it's delivered on it's promises. Can't wait to pick it up today
Came to watch reviews AFTER finishing it. It's a masterpiece.
I'm obsessed with this game 🎮 😍
@aaronatkinson177 I was too. Absolutely obsessed.
I didn’t even know about this game until it popped up on game pass and as a life long resident evil fan I was immediately hooked
I loved this game but navigating Nowhere could be a huge pain in the ass, but I expected something like that. Almost all survival horror games have to have at least one super frustrating area.
I found the puzzles were pretty intuitive vs resident evil 1 (even the remake). Was able to crack all of them without referencing the internet. Just need to look through. Also as a hint you can view "memories" and get a photo module to take pictures of things at any time for reference.
I think my problem is ADHD. I get super focused on a game when I like it, and try to do it all in one sitting and at a certain point I think I just start trying to rush instead of taking my time with it, so by the time I got to Nowhere I'd been sitting there for several hours and was like "LET ME GET TO THE END ALREADY". I'm planning to replay it and actually take proper breaks. That's one of the most frustrating things with having ADHD is you can go from loving something to being tired of it at the drop of a hat. I've been trying to curb that behavior by just stopping the game once I find myself trying to rush through or getting frustrated by just having to move from one place to another, and coming back to it after a few hours or the next day.
@@michaellucas1200 I can empathize. I try to enjoy games an hour or two at a time max which makes it easier to absorb everything in a session without getting overwhelmed.
The art style is really refreshing
It is really nicely done! And it works fine on deck is a huge plus!
Was a great experience. The whole thing, everything (((:
Oldskool resident evil mechanics set in space with a dash of futuristic puzzlery? Can't go wrong with that i think! Looks really interesting.
Went in blind with this one although I am a bit of a fan of the retro survival horror games especially ones to do with space. I am also quite a bit of fan of blade runner is well and this one was unique and a breadth of fresh air for a survival horror game. The puzzles in this game is quite challenging but I make it out eventually. I have to admit the simplicity of this game is what made me purchase and so far it hasn’t let me down.
This is like if Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Resident Evil, & Fear Effect were thrown into a pot - the resulting stew would be Signalis.
I thought I already saw your review yesterday and the vote was 3 (?)
Signalis is a masterpiece :) 👍🏻
i would suggest making a weekend of this. i would play it here and there with days in between and it was very tough to keep up with what i was supposed to do as the game doesn't have an objective system.
Does anyone know what are that strange glitchy rectangles which apear suddenly over enemies?
That’s your aim indicator
@@NoisyPixelNews No the red ones, I'm talking about the glitched rectangles which randomly apear and disappear around enemies.
@x-B_Syde-x Actually, I know now it is part of the game due the reality alteration by resonance.
Already pre-ordered a physical copy from playasia for the Nintendo Switch. Can't wait to play this one. Looks like a fantastic survival horror game.
How was it?
@@andre785 it's a excellent survival horror game imo. 👍
@@sikevillian Physical copy is around $30 is it worth it?
@@andre785 yes it is
Feels like some kind of isometric Alien Isolation.
The feel is more like Dead Space meets The Surge meets System Shock
@@pavelgirard2091 the surge is a pretty random hat drop but system shock or dead space is fair. I personally get more of a silent hill meets dead space vibe. the gameplay/puzzles and sound design are pretty much ripped right out of silent hill( you could argue resident evil but this game parallel's silent hill more closely imo). As for the theme that's where dead space comes in and that's about it.
Hmm, nice review.
This game seems pretty polarising. I'm a big fan of old school Resident Evil type games and this looks right up my alley. Trying it for free on gamepass and will buy on switch later if I enjoy it.
Thanks. Can you please share how long the game is, and without spoiling anything, whether there are any unlocks to incentivize repeated playthroughs?
8 hours long. Uhm yea kinda you may want to reply it but it’s a contained story for the most part
Reminds me of Dino Crisis
Is it on Steam?
Yep
This is definitely polygonal graphics, and not pixel graphics. More early PS1 era.
Well, it's low-poly with very pixelated textures. It's not sprite based, but it's definitely pixel-y.
Can anyone see it on PlayStation network? It had a release date of 27/10 but now it doesnt appear at all.
I just got a notification that it’s out
@@soulofcinder2007 Yeah same! Downloading it now.
I know what you mean. Trophies also didn't pop up till yesterday
@@Elesthor how is it?
@@soulofcinder2007 Its great so far. If you like classic RE or the Tormented Souls from last year, you're gonna love this one.
Gives me Parasite Eve vibes
This game is just fun survival horror. I wouldn't say its scary, especially if you are well versed in the survival horror genre. But over all its quite fun and interesting, also its on gamepass for anyone that has a xbox/pc.
It’s really fun :)
Came for anime girls, stayed for the PS1 Resident Evil inspired graphics and puzzle gameplay.
This looks a lot like resident evil 1
This game is easily worth 60$.
Some Triple A games that I bought for that price are not even close compared to Signalis.
And it's also pretty long. I am 9 hours in and still not finished.
Its old school resident evil. review over.
This game is awesome! But what is really annoying is the item limitation. I get its roots and wish to be "old-school"... but come on! Those restrictions are a bit too harsh! That made me almost quit the game at one point.
I like anime art. But it feels like its out of place in this game. Other than that, this game has amazing presentation.
Azari-Yo!
why do you record inside a pvc pipe?
*wishlisted*
omg i am gona play this in 2 h thanks to humble app
Having finished this game, I can safely say it's just Martian Gothic if designed by non-complete psychopaths who also happen to be huge Evangelion fans.
I see the appeal of why many people like this genre but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Small frustrating inventory
A lot of backtracking
Interesting story
Gameplay was good
All of the things why people loved the original resident evil games
@@aaronatkinson177 choosing Jill Valentine increased item inventory in the original game.
Do they have an option like that?
@@JackMeyHoffer562 They just added a patch that lets you chose 8 slot inventory in options.
0:58 appreciate you using the relative pronoun "whom" correctly. Didn't watch further because I am completely at peace now.
The game is a super-repetitive slog. I appreciate the concept, but ya gotta mix it up from A opens B opens C opens D, repeat. After four hours I just wanted it to be over, after five hours I abandoned ship.
Finally somebody who sees it like I do
The Resident Evil games are like that aren't they? Lately in RE7 when I arrived on the ship wreck I was fed up by that point.
The gameplay works fine and the story keeps you going. For a project of two individuals, this isn't bad at all.
TLDR; "classic survival horror genre's gameplay loop is boring"
this here is literally the classic "survival horror" genre (except you are making the game sound ultra simplified and way linear than it actually is),
the name of this genre which was literally termed/worded by capcom to describe their first Resident evil game and define its genre.
Signalis literally perfected the gameplay loop/ mechanic of its genre.
puzzles(both logical and mechanical puzzles) are perfectly paced ,
resources are perfectly balanced,
even the story and its presentation is fascinating,
Signalis nailed all of these core aspects of what its genre tries to do.
"I dont like a thing, so its bad"
-Mr X.
For what this game is trying to be, it nails it and is incredible. If you're not a fan of the genre this was catered to, well, it wasnt made for you. I believe fortnite is a free download?
It's like me not liking football, then criticizing madden as too much passing a ball around. The only real question is, WHY did you spend even 5 hours playing a style of game you dislike?
"Any minute now this is gonna switch to an action fps. I'll give it another hour" lmao. Jesus.
The ratings currently 95% of reviewers are giving is just ridiculous. Indie games (most of them are just cellphone games) receiving monsterscores just because they're indie and all reviewers are brainwashed. Simply ridiculous if you compare these phonegames against masterpiece games. Some indies deserve it i admit but in general the hype and scores are ridiculous
Worst game with respect to inventory management. Uninstalled.
Dang, the game is getting great reviews but something about the gameplay doesn't attract me. The whole "puzzle to open door" seems so lame and overused.
its one of the things i love about survival horror games.
Female protagonists in games just don't do it for me.
Sexist
I have a feeling females just don’t do it for you in general
@@dontworryaboutit5490 You know what? I won't worry about it 😉
I thought the wall safe puzzle were used two or 3 times ⏲️ 🤔
Review the game without telling us what it's about man
He didn't want to spoil
was considering playing this. but the pixel graphics steered me away!
I'm always looking for a retro Resident Evil/Silent Hill 3rd person game. From the games I've played (Tormented Souls etc.) they all go with that retro pixel look. It doesn't bother me. The newer games are all 1st person with that Amnesia: Dark Descent style.
I wasn't completely a fan of the pixel graphics but there are a few settings for how you want to display and the game ended up winning me over in the end. It's actually 3D models as well they just use a filter to display that way.
