May 2025
Gestalt is a real nostalgia trip of a treat, ripped straight from the SNES/PS1 era. It's a metroidvania with all the bells and whistles of a stylish gun-totting sword-swinging action platformer, as well as the beautiful visual aesthetics and pixel art style of a bygone era of games industry I wish was more prevalent today. Seriously, there is so much tweening and follow-through animation work done for the sprites of this game that the movement is a joy for the eyes. There is so much heart, so much spirit in the presentation: the soundtrack is a western-inspired ensemble of harmonicas, fantastic fingerstyle acoustic, with a philharmonic orchestra backing the harmony. The world is one of brass and steam with a good deal of magic mixed in, reminiscent of the steampunk genre with a political theme of peace and war, a clash of ideals, rolled into the spirit of a wild west adventure. There's a lot of love evidently poured into this game already, and I've only just scratched the surface. To say Gestalt: Steam & Cinder has been a refreshing change of pace is an understatement; and to the devs, I am seriously looking forward to whatever you guys make next! TL;DR: If you're a fan of metroidvanias, steampunk, magic, with the swagger and grit of the old west, you need to try this. Seriously.

Great presentation, pretty good action exploration and nice progression. Felt like there's a bit too much talking at times but overall a good experience. The ending leaves a bunch of stuff open for a sequel.

21 hours is inaccurate. My 100% achievements save (which was also first playthrough) is under 8 hours. Full transparency on what you're getting if you buy this game: a one-and-done theme park metroidvania. The art is gorgeous, the combat is decent (better at start, slowly degrades), the platforming is kind of non-existent until the last 2 areas. The final 3 bosses can be absolutely obliterated with a quest reward item. There is no replayability to this game to speak of and it is a poor candidate for randomization because of the progression design. The story is decent until the ending. I can't conceive of a less-satisfying ending for a game than what was written. I actually can't think of a worse ending in games I've played before. It's *really bad*. I think the game is worth picking up on sale if you're comfortable with the things I've said above.

I have a lot of thoughts on this game, but I'll keep this short. Yes I recommend it, but there are a lot of criticisms I have. Overall, I enjoyed this game for sure and it was fun to play but I want to note a few opinions I have. The elephant in the room when talking about this game I feel is the story. I don't think it's necessarily bad or anything, but I was not very interested in it during my playthrough. I feel like the political drama presented with the opposing kingdoms and interrogation of prisoners and everything would be more at home in a different game, as it paused the action of the game to deliver minutes-long monologues where it would shower me with proper nouns and names that I kind of recognized but didn't remember the character associated with it. It made for a confusing and rushed introduction to what I think is centuries of history with the setting and characters, which is ironic because whenever the cutscenes or monologues happened I always thought they were WAY too long. There are a lot of ways to get around this, but I'll leave it at that. If you enjoyed the story that's awesome, I probably would have too if it was in a different game or presented differently. Combat is fun, but there is seldom time between enemy attacks to get a full combo in or use the fancy moves you unlock, so either I was playing wrong or sometimes they feel a little useless. The map is also expansive for a game that isn't incredibly long, with each area feeling interesting and unique. My only issue with it was due to lack of labeling and notation I got lost a lot, and I feel like that might be an issue a lot of player have. I understand games like this can have this quality where you get lost while playing, and while that works for other games like this one, I didn't feel any joy or satisfaction of adventure and discovery when I got lost in this game, just frustration. Those are my thoughts, maybe these things weren't an issue for you and that's good! Like I said, I enjoyed this game, but wanted to voice my thoughts on some things I thought could be improved. I'd recommend it and would be interested in seeing more games from this team in the future! They certainly have talent, so I'd love to see what they do with it next.

Nice little game, not too long, not too short, overall fun, engaging and enjoyable, for the price alone it's well worth the ride. Some games in this ilk are ultra punishing and slogs to get thru but this was a breeze, sometimes its nice to just have something you can throw on and zone out to that feels comfortable and manageable. Hopefully the creators do more because this was a pretty cool.
