Mr. Pink may not tip. But he delivers. The best thing here is not the style. Not the meat. Not roguelite mechanics per se. Not the perhaps strongest (read: most balanced) rendition of survival horror combat I've seen - where it remains unwieldy enough for you to be uncomfortable in fights while maintaining a fair degree of aglitily and responsiveness. What matters is Golden Light manages to create a dynamic environment with an ever-shifting set of rules. I'm certain there comes a time where an experienced player has seen all the new stuff the game has to offer and developed a set of habits for every situation. But due to changing rules, obscure nature of enemy behaviour and dynamic destructible environments that time can be a very, very long time coming. This kind of volatile unpredictable responsiveness of the game world which keeps to its obscure rhythms and laws imbues it with a life of its own. The world breathes, it is never static. And it's somehow not a strategy or a procedural RPG, it's a claustraphobic surreal horror. Knock-Knock sort of tried something like that, but, as much as I like that game, it just feels wrong to even compare the two - Golden Light is plainly leagues ahead in this. It is something which I believe ought to be plagiarized by any sane game developer that creates an immersive non-deterministic system, where the player controls a single entity. People are boring, of course, so it won't be. But it should. And another thing. It doesn't take itself seriously at all... And in that it takes itself dead seriously. This is not Monty Python and the Month Old Stew . For the exact reason that it sort of is. It looks like an unironic dream Mr. Pink dreamt up that nobody including him would ever see had he not put it into code and the heavily asseted graphics. It is the heterogeniety between the dream and the resistance of the material that produced Golden Light the way it is.
I've spent a lot of time playing Golden Light (my Steam playtime is a bit misleading since half of the time was offline while I was traveling or without internet access). I've explored its world, met its monsters, talked to some, eaten others, and acted as both friend and foe to the ubiquitous Gut. But, I am not sure I can adequately describe Golden Light. Yes, it is a first-person survival horror action/stealth game with randomly generated dungeons, a persistent overworld, and roguelike elements. That description may lead you to believe you have played games like Golden Light. Let me assure you that you have not. You know how people describe the modern Doom games as playable Heavy Metal albums? This game is a playable weirdcore/traumacore playlist. It's like playing a nightmare born of liminal space horror and Backrooms wikis, complete with the flailing, imprecise movement and dark, blurred vision. Golden Light is one of the most effective survival horror titles I have ever played at inducing near-constant dread, which is all the more astounding when nothing much in the game is actually that scary. Instead, the anxiety comes from the dark, surreal ambiance of the dungeons, the esoteric soundscape, and never knowing if that pile of books is actually a monster in disguise. While the horror is effective, what really captivates me about Golden Light is the surreal world it constucts. For all of the dread in the dungeons, the levels really are not dead set on killing the player (pun intended): the Gut -the world in which all of the events in the game take place- is sentient, and somewhat callous, but does not hate the player (unless the player is in turn violent and cruel). Even the individual denizens of the Gut are a mixed bag. Sure, some want to prey upon the player, but some are indifferent unless provoked. Some can even be friendly. The fascinating thing about Golden Light is that it presents an ecosystem, just not one that takes time to understand. There is a story to Golden Light. Something about a struggling writer. And a woman. Maybe the woman left the struggling writer. Maybe she died. Maybe he killed her. Maybe he turned into a dog. Maybe the woman never existed and it's all a hallucination. I don't put spoilers here because the game doesn't actually tell you a story, in fact the Gut sternly refuses to let the player think the experiences of the gut are about anything, at all. Golden Light refuses to be straightforwardly interpretable, preferring to let its bizarre locales and denizens be their own meaning, or have none at all. If I were more pretentious I would compare Golden Light to the Dao De Jing, and if I spend any more time thinking about it I might start to earnestly believe that comparison to be apt. I don't know if Golden Light is a good video game, but I know that I am glad that I experienced it. It is not for everyone. Golden Light probably is not for you, but I am not sure if that matters. Golden Light was not for me, either, and look how that went.
A beautiful, unsettling experience with surprisingly responsive gameplay for what it is. Lots of environments and different bizarre threats to learn. I've never been a fan of obtrusive morality systems, but this is a game about exploration and evasion, not fighting, unfortunately.
