Jan. 2025

First of all, if you are sensitive to 3D sickness, this game is unfortunately comparable to Portal, which means less than 30 mins gameglay is more than enough for me to start feel unwell. When you play, it is hard to ignore that there is a 10min timer, I really hope the game clearly explains in tutorial that is an optional bonus and does not affecting the game progress, or maybe even just disable the timer until replay, since the game actually requires paying lot of attention to the environment. The physics is janky but not intolerable, since there is no fall damage, and there is really nothing to rush for if you ignore the 10min timer. The only one tricky thing is that jumping requires on a proper "ground" and will not work well when on "objects".

Nov. 2024

this game manages to do the hideo kojima thing, where logical inconsistencies, weirdly implemented, half-baked but innovative game mechanics, and semi-coherent, preachy philosophies end up transcending the experience and becoming the object of love instead of derision, like a shot to the arm of purely, obviously inspired passion. it creates rabbit holes of feelings that reflect backwards onto you, like having a conversation with someone who spills their entire being onto you at a 7/11 before never meeting them again. everyone should play this game.

Oct. 2024

A Game that only tells you explicitly what it is about in two places. It's a little jank in its control and gameplay, but (for what its worth) its focus on atmosphere sells it in my opinion. 8/10 [Penguin Friend is Best Friend]

Sept. 2024

Tried to get 100% by getting all achievements but unfortunately one of them is bugged ("Make a Delivery in Under 10 Minutes"). Several people have had the same issue as well, I hope they fix it some day. Overall, very good game with a distinct atmosphere and story.

April 2024

UG has been a bit of a gamble for me. I’m not really into photography games and I’m not knowledgeable about the subject in real life either. Many games allow you to take pictures on the side, I tend to mostly ignore this function because it feels pointless without any objectives. The negative reviews focusing on the tight timer, unclear objectives, janky gameplay and bad controls also had me spooked. And yet I feel very happy for getting the game against all odds. It seems as if the game is misunderstood with some of the claims. The game has 8 stages and 4 DLC stages. Each stage has a couple of main objectives that you have to do to complete a stage. The main objectives are taking pictures of something unique related to each stage. There are also optional objectives that are always the same regardless of the stage. You can think of earn x money with your pictures, find x amount of film canisters etc. Each stage has at least two camera tools to unlock. One is for completing the stage and the other is for completing everything, including the optional objectives, in one go. This means getting it done within 10 minutes. I usually HATE timers in games but it’s really not bad here. You can perfectly ignore the timer and take as long as you need. You can even turn it off from showing in the options menu. You can attempt it after exploring a stage thoroughly. It’s easier than it sounds because the stages are not big at all. It’s easy to get everything done quickly once you know where everything is. In fact, I’ve had instances where I’ve (almost) done everything on my first try once I understood how the game accepts the pictures taken. It’s also better to unlock some lenses early before attempting the timers because they will make things FAR easier. This makes UG feel like an arcade game. None of the objectives you did before are remembered, so you’ll always have to do them again. But it works because you’ll always have the lenses and other tools you unlocked plus remembering what you did before. It also does an excellent job of giving you an idea of how actual photography works. This along with making the gameplay and progression system fun, while informative, impresses me a lot. Some people mentioned how the objectives can be unclear or how some screenshots are not being accepted while they should. This has not been my experience for the most part. Some of those pictures are required to be taken with certain lenses, you’re shown the icons in the objectives menu and it was mentioned in the tutorial. It makes it feel like those people missed these important aspects. The controls are also fine with mouse and keyboard. It’s similar to an FPS with some minor differences for the most part. The complaints were mostly about the controller, so do keep that in mind. The game looks and sounds like a Dreamcast game a bit. I’m slightly reminded of my time playing Jet Set Radio. The achievements are enjoyable to get too. There are some creative ones that might get annoying to figure out but the game has tons of guides to help out with that. The criticisms regarding janky gameplay and a few bugs are valid. Sometimes you jump really high when you go up the stairs. Jumping can also not work when you’re too close to objects. These are the kind of janky gameplay problems that can be dealt with and avoided once you know how they trigger. The UI is not the best. It feels clunky but it can get the job done. In terms of bugs, the speedrun achievement does not work. Right now you can either go back to an older version (it’s introduced with the last update), use SAM or pray the devs will patch it at some point. It doesn’t seem like the latter will happen since the last patch we got was in 2022. The game also has weird performance issues but it’s not something I’ve seen others mention. So it might be my set-up in combination with the changes I’ve made in the options menu. The game has a kind of annoying and pretty constant stuttering. It’s worse in certain stages and can disappear after a while. None of this is solved by forcing 60fps through Nvidia. UG is a required taste. Not everyone is going to put up with the lack of polish. But what it does is unique and it does it really well. I paid €1,85 for the game and DLC when it was on sale. It’s definitely worth it. The normal price for both is too high but they’re worth considering when they’re cheaper.
