ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU'RE IN IT FOR THE ART ASSETS and if you enjoy puzzles.

Scorn is a beautifully ugly game, the sound design matches this wonderfully. The environments in game are stunningly grotesque and almost every square inch of artificial structure is unpleasant and possibly disturbing.

That's why you play Scorn. It's great, if you want to experience something that makes you naturally want to recoil in disgust without actually shoving your hands in some kind of biological orifice specifically designed to accept hands.

The shooting is NOT the main feature. If you're looking for a great shooter, the ingredients are there, but they aren't the main dish. You might not actually want to eat while playing, to be fair.

I bought Scorn because it looked cool. Because it LOOKED cool. The visuals and worldbuilding part. It is something of very high quality best experienced slowly and methodically, to be poked and proved, not to be consumed en masse and to the same standard as DOOM or Wolfenstein, more Half-Life (maybe?) or Portal, perhaps more accurately a more interactive Dear Esther.

If it was longer, really fleshed (heh) out the world more, and had some more weapons, I think it could be something truly amazing. As is, it's a work of art, a masterpiece of design, and a pretty good video game to boot.

9/10 Would be grossed out again.
