This introduction to the gameвЂ™s story might sound forced and shallow, but that is because the whole storytelling is. Unfortunately, as you start venturing further, your playable character will suddenly start monologuing about this cave with nothing insightful, before he then starts mourning about himself in the end portion. From this point on, there is really no way to go but forward. Stepping outside, you will acquire a pair of what looks like to be a VR headset and a scanner, functioning as a light source with the headset on. Upon starting Scanner Sombre, you find yourself in a tent containing some necessary tools for surviving and some personal belongings. I am sorry, but I do not care about your trivial monol ogues

Can Introversion Software do more with their take on this genre? Walking-simulators can be done well, but most of my experiences with them result in the same amount of interactivity as navigating through a DVD menu: boring and uneventful. With this in mind, why did I then choose to look at Scanner Sombre before any of the other games mentioned? Honestly, I wondered why a studio known for strange titles demanding player interactivity (with the strategy genre being their main one), decided to make a walking-simulator of all things. All of these are fascinating titles, with my personal favourite ending up being Prison Architect, simply because of how demanding it is. I first tackled their hacking-title Uplink, then jumped on their strategy game about nuclear war Defcon, before trying out their even stranger creations Darwinia and Multiwinia. This eventually led me to discover Introversion Software, who made some of the most interesting projects I have ever witnessed. Would I record commentary again on some of my videos? Maybe.With so many developers and titles to keep track of these days, I easily find myself picking games at random to play with no regards for what I am in the mood for. New Game + mode: Replay the entire game with the fully modded out scanner!Д®xtras: Two Prototype Games are unlocked Wrong Wire.and the Proto of the first level of Scanner Sombre! So you can play your favorite parts over and over again. Upon completion Introversion Software does EVERYTHING right. The fact that I actually wanted the game to be longer is saying quite a lot. Scanner Sombre is drop dead gorgeous, the unreal sound combined with the colorful revelation of the darkness is stellar. Yet the whole beauty of the game is, and Introversion Software knows this, letting the player choose how much of the caverns they wish to reveal. Combined with the unreal sound design, this game is only 2nd best to TLD as far as I'm concerned, you could potentially navigate a whole lot of the game by just using sound cues. At first it takes forever and that's great because at the start your tension level is high, so as each cavern or chamber slowly resolves itself you're looking for anything out of place. And that you can go back and pan, zoom, etc that map and essentially return to the beginning of the game by looking at it is also fantastic.ДЄs for the LIDAR 'painting' it's done really well.

That said the ending itself is ballsy as heck, and the fact that your map of the cave used in game once you get the upgrade is made up of every LIDAR dot you placed is insanely cool. Kinda like the Unrated cut of The Descent, which in a way it does do I suppose. However I would've loved it had the horror aspects returned for a final tension inducing exercise after seemingly arriving at the top so to speak. I loved the idea of not being able to see the shape of a room if I didn't paint it in LIDAR, and the sound design was exceptional. When the major horror aspects happened they were great. I would've preferred, (and I'm not big on horror) for there to have been more of a horror element than there was. On my old channel I used to do commentary but then I found I oftentimes focused on the commentary to the suffering of my game play so now it's always pure game play.ДЄctually if you ask me it wasn't stretched for long enough to get too thin. Seems like a great idea stretched too thin.? No commentary on your great work RBR, but dang, not much going on.
