![]() ![]() This isn’t a review exactly, but I thought it would be worth doing a post about Google Stadia. If you have a Stadia Pro subscription and a few hours to creep about and solve some puzzles then Gylt isn’t the worst way to spend it, but outside of that your time and money is better spent elsewhere. Otherwise there’s nothing to write home about. It deals with it’s subject matter pretty well and this is where’s it worth is. Whilst it’s a solid enough package, as one of the few Stadia exclusives at this point, Gylt is a disappointment. However, Gylt wants it’s message to have weight but you are left having to choose which things to take on board and which to ignore. This is fine in and of itself – it would have been easy to spoon feed the audience in a game with a child as the protagonist. So much in the narrative isn’t explained.To begin with in these situations I would look about in panic but after a while you can predict it happening. Gylt can seem janky and unfinished, whether it’s the inconsistency of being spotted when you think Sally is hidden, or some plain textures on some surfaces or the countless times that, despite already dealing with the monster in a room, the music would kick off as if I was surrounded.There were one of two places where I got stuck and had to repeat platforming challenges or sneak past other rooms of enemies to get back to where I had failed. Save points can be few and far between at times, for reasons that aren’t obvious. ![]() Perhaps rightly so – who said a small, scared girl would have great monster-slaying skills?! But it doesn’t make for great gameplay – Gylt’s combat is clunky at best. Combat, when you can’t avoid it, is bad.There are multiple different endings and, without spoilers, all I’ll say is that if you make sure you explore every nook and cranny in Gylt, you will be rewarded at the end! ![]() It’s not overly heavy handed with it’s message about bullying and comes to a good conclusion. Particularly how it reveals itself over time, which makes you want to keep going to right the wrongs of the situation.
