Just realized i have never actually reviewed this game, despite it being one of my favorite games of all time AND that ridiculous playtime. Thief/Dishonored meets Resident Evil 4 is the elevator pitch for this game which while it does give you a good idea of what you're in for isn't even barely scratching the surface of the game's design. The amount of choices, options and hard decisions you will have to make that not only affect your current situation but will affect you with unexpected consequences in the future to which you will have to adapt is incredibly compelling. I never expected the Survival Horror elements to mesh so well with the Immersive Sim stuff, but here we are. We somehow have a game that showers you with options in how you progress through an area like how you use your tools and how you kill (or not) your enemies, yet still isn't afraid to show its Survival Horror teeth by making you uncomfortable and dreading what's next, praying an enemy isn't close because you just used your last bullet, and lastly hearing horrific noises in complete darkness as you're forced to push forward through the level which leads you to the gentle song of the phonograph (save points). Speaking of levels, let's talk about the game's level design. Gloomwood learns all the good lessons to be learned from Dark Souls' level design and fills it's world with hidden side content that is entirely optional and missable while still having side objectives that lead into other side objectives that flow into each other like Dishonored and many other great ImSims. Again a great balance of both ideals to make some levels that i have learned like the back of my hand yet still replay with joy. And to finish, the aesthetics of this game are incredible. The blend of Victorian and Gothic architecture along with the soundtrack's gloomy (heh) and opressing vibe is genuinely addicting, despite its low-poly artstyle you can tell A LOT of effort went into making Gloomwood as artistically sound of a game as they could. Which is enhanced so well by the game's great choice of having its UI be completely Diegetic. Inventory ? You have an attaché case à la Resident Evil 4. Visibility meter ? A light ring who's light will grow in strength the more visible you are. Ammo counter ? Hold R to check your weapons ammo manually. Status menu ? Turn the pages in your journal to check health, maps, keys, files, etc. The only non-diegetic piece of UI being the crosshair which is made subtle on purpose. Overall all these elements make you truly feel immersed in the role of The Doctor, and make Gloomwood for me an unforgettable experience. An experience that i will be following with great interest because of my conviction that it is a classic in the making. Forced 7 of my friends to play it, My Wood is Gloomed / 10

I had to take a moment to gush about this game. I'm about 6 hours in and have been having a great time. I walked in mostly blind, I like Dishonored-y stealth games, and I like Victorian/Gothic horror stuff, so that was enough for me. The moment you realize WHAT THIS GAME ACTUALLY IS is a mindblowing experience: It is Dishonored/Thief in a Soulslike semi-open environment. The environments are big and interconnected and labyrinthine like Souls, but also honeycombed with explorable alcoves and "side quests" like Dishonored. But it is so much more than that: There is maybe the most insanely cool collection side quest I've ever seen in a game, one that completely recontextualizes your relationship with items, enemies, and the game world. I'm sure I am only just scratching the surface of this game, go wishlist this NOW.

Strongly recommended, but with a major caveat. Yes, Gloomwood really scratches that old Thief itch and is likely my favorite stealth game since MGSV: The Phantom Pain, but that Early Access tag is likely not going anywhere anytime soon. Granted, this is a New Blood game, the same studio that published Ultrakill, which has been in early access for even longer. A common thread between these two games is that they are both excellent from practically every angle but are also both unfinished from a content perspective. This is not a knock at either development teams as they are both small and, from a technical standpoint, both games are beautifully optimized. However, with Gloomwood, its unfinished state stands out a little more. Updates have been slow, but that's likely because they're thoroughly tested as, again, it's very well optimized. To the developer's credit, they are honest on the store page about it likely being several years before the 1.0 version launches, and to be honest it does get a little repetitive having to restart after each major update, slow as they may arrive. But when the level design and mechanics are this polished, it's easy to see that the finished product will be more than worth the wait. I would pick it up now during Early Access as it will likely jump a bit in price once it launches officially and enjoy some good ol' fashioned 90's inspired stealth-'em-up goodness, then join the rest of us Doctors and eagerly await its full release.

I was under the impression that this was more finished than it was, main path wise, which is my own fault. Already, though, this game hits the spot real good. Top tier immersive sim. Whatever areas do exist already exhibit fantastic level design. The bones are there. My only complaint right now is that I can't coma myself to 1.0

Excellent atmosphere, resource management, and stealth. Honestly, if a new old-school Thief game came out every six months for the rest of my life, I probably wouldn't need to play anything else.
