Deploy stealth, hack computers and steal documents to uncover the truth about project Light! 7aa9394dea Title: LightGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, StrategyDeveloper:Just A Pixel Ltd.Publisher:Team17 Digital LtdRelease Date: 14 Jul, 2014 Light Crack All Type Hacks Nice concept, great gameplay, rather lame story, veeeeryyy overpriced, very short.If it were longer and not so pricey I would say you should buy it, but it's really not worth buying it just yet... Hopefully they'll update it with more levels in the future.6\/10. This game feels like a free flash game you could play online.It's not worth twelve dollars.. In 'Light', a small team of developers have produced something polished, clean and without any excess or waste. Both the gameplay and the visual style are trimmed down to the absolute minimum whilst still providing satisfying immersion and flow. Personally I liked the minimalist style, however I can imaine this will not be to everybody's taste...The gameplay is a fairly typical 'stealth-em-up', watching guard patterns, dodging cameras and hacking terminals to unlock doors and disable security... again, there is really not much else to say as this has been cut down to the absolute essentials. The objectives for each level are clearly marked in the upper right hand corner of the screen and the plot unfolds through on-screen text conversations and examined documents. Whilst this is a recommendation I would warn potential buyers that I completed the game in under and hour - I could imagine stretching the playtime a little by going back to 'stealth' the levels where I was spotted and forced to kill a guard... but that really wasn't too many. Those familiar with 'Monaco' or 'Hotline Miami' will glide through this fairly easily - I would like to have seen more challenge overall. Pros: - Minimalist Style- Smooth control and polished gameplay- Nice SoundtrackCons: - Very Short- Not overly Challenging- Low Replay Value. This game will last you less than an hour. That wouldn't be a problem if the experience packed into that hour was socks-rockingly great. But it's not - it's aggressively mediocre in all aspects but soundtrack.The story is eye-rollingly unconvincing in the same way that kid at school whose dad totally worked for Nintendo was unconvincing. Worse, it's told clumsily (e.g. confidential project journal entries printed out and scattered in the company's lobby, to name one of the less stupid moments). The gameplay looks interesting, but in the absence of level design to hold it together ultimately boils down to "run around, tap at yellow things, avoid red things". The guard AI is dull and seems to have been rostered from extremely nearsighted personnel who all forgot to bring their contact lenses to work. The "hacking" looked cool in the trailer but does not actually lead to any interesting possibilities, instead acting as a red-key-blue-key-green-key series of hotspots.The soundtrack is pretty good, though.. This game is nowhere near $13. I got it for $1 when it was on a discount. Theres like 5 or 7 maybe 10 levels and they are very short, and cliche. Its the typical you dont know who you are and you gotta hack things to find out who you are, as if its some sort of Hitman game except your memory is destroyed (Somewhat). Its super easy to kill guards. The reinforcements barely do anything if you hide next to a corner and wait for them to turn that corner then kill them instantly, and the other guards dont even get startled when they die after like the first kill. I only recommend this game if its on a 90% discount or higher. (It recently was so it most likely wont happen for some time) The graphics seem relatively smooth and it has a somewhat decent atmosphere, but there seems like no point in sneaking.. So, let me share my thoughts, especially seeing that many red "Thumbs Down"."Light" is a tiny indie game made by just a few people according to the game credits. It's a sneak'n'hack game about an escaped test subject. Controls and gameplay are pretty simple. You sneak using WASD avoiding guards and cameras, can unlock the doors (E), hack (Q), kill guards and civilians (SPACE), hide their bodies (2) and change outfit (3). You will also find and read some documents to understand what happened to you. That's it if I don't miss anything. Gameplay, story, music and minimalistic cyberpunk'ish graphics style are pretty satisfying, I can definitely say I enjoyed them all as well as the game on the whole. Yes, the game is short and won't take much your time to be completed on 100%.Pros:+ Simple controls+ Nice-looking cyberpunk'ish graphics+ Story (despite it might seem typical)+ Soundtrack (special thanks to Gavin Harrison !)+ Short (yeah, it's a + as I don't need to put dozens of hours into a tiny game)+ Easy to beat for 100% (apparently, a + for anyone who isn't indifferent to achievements)Cons:- Short (I doubt anyone would complain if the game were longer)- Pricey- Low replay valueI'm literally forced to pay attention to the price. Yes, guys, I agree the game is pricey. I also understand some disappointment and comments and reviews saying "lack of content", "too short" and agree. Store page is a really promissing one and raises your expectations from the game. My thoughts were like "Ouch, it's like a mix of my beloved Monaco (50+ hours played) and Frozen Synapse (well-known and highly acclaimed by critics and players), I should check in out". That's why I've purchased and played "Light".However, I don't think the fact the game is pretty expensive (for the content it offers) gives the right to leave a "Thumbs Down". I enjoyed this tiny game (I'd especially highlight its music), got a +1 perfect game, learned several new English words (despite it has a Russian localization, I played it in English), didn't invest much time in it and I've also supported indie game developers. I don't regret doing all that and in general cannot say anything bad about "Light", that's why - my "Thumbs Up"!Some notes\/recommendations to developers:\u2022 Add more content and reduce the price. Seriously. Mentioned Monaco offers you a huge amount of multi-level missions, 8 characters, up to 4 players online co-op, story with its charm and humour as well as soundtrack by Austin Wintory, Steam-features like leaderboards, cloud, Workshop + level editor but is still priced less. Something is wrong here ...\u2022 Probably, add more achievements (to pass each level unspotted \/ under some defined or devs' time \/ to kill all guards on a level etc). At least it will increase players' playtime and will add some challenge. This point completely depends on your attitude to achievements and your fantasy\/creativity :)\u2022 Probably, add Steam leaderboards (competition spirit, you know). I doubt it will be worth doing, but still, that's what comes to my mindP.S. You won't lose anything if you don't play this game, but you will likely enjoy it if you do. And Steam is not the place where you can complain about the price. Even just released games are offered literally tomorrow with a good discount (my example: bought Asteria that was released a bit more than a week ago with a -75% coupon received for badge crafting). Countless bundles popup almost every day. You're warned multiple times about the price and content mismatch, so you are free to buy the game when it's on sale or comes to a bundle. Then you'll be more prone to share some love with "Light".. Why don't I recommend this game? Simply because it just feels too short.In terms of visuals, gameplay mechanics, etc, The game is fantastic as I like stealth games. It doesn't really look like anything else in my opinion. If the game had 2 maybe 3 times more levels, I'd definitely recommend it.
