Summary Very interesting game. The story got my attention. The adventure, though I got lost a few times, was enjoyable. The length isn't very long, depending on how you play. If thorough, it may take longer. If going for achieves, longer than thorough. :) I really enjoyed the journey. My Experience 3 Sep 2026 I really enjoyed this game. The journey was my favorite part. Getting the achieves took some times but I didn't mind. I did get lost a few times and with movement being rather slow, it took a bit. It's kind of easy to get turned around at times. I played the demo and I liked the full game best! I often get my games on sale, but that doesn't mean this game isn't worth its full price. It may be! If I wasn't into sales and trying to get more for my money, I'd possibly pay full price for this game. Especially if I new I would like it as much as I did. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790165279 It's a game I didn't want to stop. I wanted to know more, to see more. I wanted to get even more immersed. There's shaking that happens and if you have a subwoofer on the surface you sit on, you'll love it! lol With this game, I had sound on (I rarely play with sound unless I need to/want to) and I liked having the sound turned up a bit for this game. It really helps with immersion. The visuals are surprisingly pretty good most of the time. Someone put their heart into this game. You can see and feel it when you play. I do recommend it. I also recommend them creating a part 2, or another mystery somewhere else in the land this event took place in! (Like Nancy Drew series) That'd be great! Though I wouldn't like the wait. Thanks for reading. Please check other reviews for a more thorough understanding of what to possibly expect. Sometimes discussions can help wtih a decision. On the right, there should be a "view update history" option. I like checking there when I want to see their efforts at taking care of a game/program. They may not always list it here, but it sure does help with my decision. Too many games are quickly created, thrown out around a sale time/holiday, and then abandoned. Others abandoned after good intentions. Some not. That's another reason I may visit discussion area in the community hub. TL;DR: Yeppers. You should've read it. haha Just kidding. Good game! Good story! ♥
2 hours of playing Radiolight, and I'm not even halfway through the game yet. So far, the music, atmosphere and environmental details have been outstanding. This game keeps the tension high throughout the whole forest. Can't say it's terrifying, more tense than scary. I wanted to play a game like Firewatch or Road 96, and here it is. Woods, great music, adventures, mystery. Perfect. Update : The end of the game... let's just say it was really unexpected. Overall, Radiolight is like a movie with a solid story. There are a few bugs, but I'm pretty sure you probably won't notice them unless you're exploring every corner of the game like I did. For the price, it's a must-play. I loved how the story went from a missing teen to a whole new mystery that Ethan needed to uncover. There are a looot of different pathways in those woods, but trust me, it's impossible to miss some important part of the game. Sooner or later, the game will eventually lead you back to what you've missed. 10/10 for me, I'm genuinely impressed
Whilst I do recommend this game, particularly to those looking for a Firewatch/Twin Peaks/Alan Wake vibe, it is not without reservations. Radiolight starts out really strong, creating a sense of foreboding as you approach the park. You feel in the shoes of the investigator as you start looking around, hunting for clues, and going deeper into the forest. The eeriness and isolation is really striking, with the superb voice acting and well timed twig snaps being a large contributor to this. As the game goes on, I feel the story becomes a bit sprawling, and my enjoyment and investment in it began to wane. The game introduces a lot of different concepts, and I found it made it hard to focus on any particular goal. The environments are superbly crafted in the main, but some elements just felt out of place. I found that the non-player characters were comical and inconsistent in appearance. Firewatch handled these horror elements well, and maintained the faceless, nameless protagnoist(s) that made the game so creepy. I can't help feeling Radiolight would have been better off following suit. The ending for me proved a great source of frustration; I almost gave up and watched it on YouTube. The gameplay mechanics could definitely be tweaked here to reduce friction and repetitiveness. The game also leaves a lot of questions unanswered. In Firewatch, we get a sense of closure in the most part, however I don't get the same from Radiolight. There are many loose ends, and whether intentional or not they left me wondering what exactly I'd been doing for the past 3 hours. Whilst this game is not without its faults, it's truly incredible that this was the effort of a single dev, and they should be proud of what they have achieved. It's definitely worth playing. I look forward to more games from them in the future.
Loved every single moment of this game. Like many others have said it's kind of like a horror version of Firewatch with a much darker atmosphere. Was extremely creepy at times and I really enjoyed slowly discovering the mystery on what was going on. It's a pretty short game but I think it works perfectly since it stops the game from ever feeling like it overstays its welcome. That said, I was left wanting more after the credits rolled. Highly recommended if you like spooky walking sims with an intriguing story and creepy atmosphere.
