Pros: graphics smooth gameplay interesting visuals Alright but needs improvement: Story is good, but very badly delivered at some times. Reminding the players several times about important elements, which was unnecessary. Delivery and some plot moments are delivered quite stiffly and or out out of nowhere. Each location feels unique, but are missing depth. There is not a lot to do or look for and after some time feels very railroady. There are collectibles, but I think the game could have benefited from more of them. Also some more pieces of lore to be found around the map for players to read. Cons Powers, are interesting, but are in my opinion not used enough in the game. There are many places and locations I was hoping to see more with the pendulum or be able to interact with the world, reveal secret locations and or discover mysteries, but in the end some of the powers became useless for large gameplay parts. Some parts of the story feel very railroad, and are missing in exploration and interactivity. The main voice actor did a great job, but the script was rather bad at many moment.
Excellent game. Loved every minute. The premise and story are very good and the game looks great. The voice acting is top notch especially since the main character is voiced by the actor who voices Geralt in the witcher games. I love the use of the pendulum for investigation and also for other uses that become learned along the journey through the game. i feel like the games length is perfect. I never once felt like i wanted the game to be over because the story was so interesting. The core game play is investigation and solving mysteries that all tie into the main story. I love that the character has a journal and he writes down everything and even has nice artwork pictures in it as well to use as story guide. There is some combat but it is not very difficult once you learn how to use the pendulum properly. The game ran excellent on my RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM. I ran everything on high at 1080p and had zero issues and no crashes. No bugs were encountered either which is very rare in gaming today. Overall i highly recommend giving this game a try especially with the price being so reasonable. I have paid more for bad games than I paid for this great horror and occult game. If you like the occult and horror this is absolutely a must play.
7.5/10 The Occultist is a pretty good paranormal investigative game. Gameplay consists mainly of exploration and puzzle-solving while unraveling a mystery. The puzzles are logical and well designed. There are stealth sections with enemies you have to avoid, however most of them were not challenging or engaging. The high production values carried the game a lot, it looks and sounds great.
The Occultist is a psychological horror walking simulator with many puzzles and several minor stealth sections with vengeful ghosts. The story involves your character arriving to an eerie desolate Island, in search of your lost father. Places of exploration include a various houses, a hospital, an orphanage, a cemetary, a circus, and a huge manor. Primary gameplay involves exploration and using an occult "Pendulum" that can perform four occult mechanics. Your "Pendulum" can see items from another dimension, reverse time, send a magical bird to collect items in the far distance, and move swarms of rats for various purposes. The game took me approximately 7 hours to complete. + The atmosphere and visuals are gorgeous. + Excellent music and sound design in general. + The voice acting is superb. The main character is voiced by Doug Cockle, aka "The Witcher". + The story is original and interesting. +/- The enemies in the game are a mixed bag. Several of the ghosts are very creepy, while others are goofy and poorly designed. - A few of the puzzles are annoying, without proper direction. - Long stretches of the game are tedious and dare I say, borderline boring at times. - In dire need of a chapter select after beating the game to mop up achievements and collectibles. - Nitpick: There should be a way to put your pendulum hand up and down. This hand is always up in the game, and this is not realistic. No person would every walk around 100% of the time with their hand up in the air like that. Visually annoying. Especially when you want to take screenshots of the environment, or just walk around with a nice unobstructed view. - Despite the environments looking stellar, the character models, enemy models, and bosses look poor as if they are from the PS3 era. This game shoots for the stars with a big budget approach to the genre. However, the lack of "fun" interesting gameplay, or exceptional puzzles, holds the game back from greatness. Overall: 7/10
