Scorn will run at 4K and 60 FPS on Xbox Series S|X. It has received some terrifying new screenshots seen running at the 4K resolution.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kepler Interactive and Belgrade-based (Serbia) indie games developer Ebb Software, are today super thrilled and proud to announce that their philosophical atmospheric horror game “Scorn”, is now available for the PS5 via PSN." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Very lackluster game. Had high hopes for it, but it didn't cut it. Really only for people who appreciate the art of it all. It really doesn't deliver as the Myst title with obscene imagery it was trying to be.
The Xbox version's highest review score on Metacritic is an 80.
One review site gave the PC version a 10. One. Not some. One. That same site gave 100s to BG3, Starfield, Horizon Burning Shores, and FFXVI as well.
Which sites?
As Tacoboto said, only one is showing a 10 and that's for the PC version. I'd also question that publications credibility given they gave Starfield and a dlc a 10 as well.
You're a big reason why N4G should add a Community Notes feature.
I agree.
The opening puzzle was a little too vague because I missed something super obvious once I realized what it was. The few attempts at combat back at launch were very rough. It gave me one bout of motion sickness in a section of the game was was especially grey and linear.
But when puzzles felt not-too-obscure and you got out of the grey-on-grey corridors, the experience was unique at least.
I didn't have as much fun as something more whimsical and colorful as Call of the Sea, but it wasn't a waste of the 6-8 hours I put into it. A solid 6/10.
Fair enough. Even so, I had a real blast watching the world's most famous e-begger cry over this game though lol.
Imo, it's a very mixed bag of a game...To be fair though, I didn't walk into it with very high expections...
This game is great, but it's not for everyone. It doesn't hold your hand nor does it try to be accessible, combat is slow and you are always at a disadvantage so if you do engage you must make your shots count because the penalty for missing is often dying and that can reset a lot of your progress. Puzzles are in my opinion the best part, there are enough of them, they offer a good challenge and are also the best moment to appreciate the art style of the game.
The closest comparison that I can give would be with the original Echo Nights. And just like that game, I feel that you have to approach it with the mindset that it's not an action game and that you will get frustrated if you try to play it as one.
Do you remember old game "Bad Mojo"? That game wasn't for everyone either...This is the same kind of game in that aspect. Besides that, I agree with what you wrote.
Oh, Bad Mojo. Completely forgot about it and I definitely agree about it not being for everyone. If I recall correctly I couldn't stomach it for very long and I played it as sort of a challenge.
I agree, the game has stuck with me in all aspects of presentation: sound and visuals were on point.
I thought it was pretty good for what it is. Neat how they tell a story without any words. I thought the combat/stealth part was the weakest part of the game. Imo the price should be more like $30 for this one

"This October, PlayStation 5 devotees will at last be able to delve into the unsettling universe of "Scorn", the acclaimed first person horror adventure. Ebb Software in collaboration with Kepler Interactive revealed the Tuesday, October 3rd release date during the Future Games Show at this year’s gamescom." - Ebb Software and Kepler Interactive.
Glad it comes to PS5, it was a really interesting experience.
Some parts were awfully bad, but it reaches some remarkable peaks. I think I'll replay it someday.
I know right? That is true...The balance actually reminds me of "Bullet Witch", some parts of the game is just pure awesomeness, while other parts of the game is anything but great...And to this very day, I'm still scratching my head over what actually took place during the development process of "Bullet Witch", since the game is so extremly unblanaced.
50$ is a crazy asking price. When it hits the 5-10$ bargain bin I may grab it then. I doubt it takes too long
Based on what? Isn't that the standard launch price more or less? In that case, don't hold your breath ;)
Fantastic graphical texture and image quality. Almost too good... In a gross way 😳😱🤢
It’s a very nice looking game. That can’t be downplayed. Very detailed textures. The actual gameplay though.... It’s a lot of PC footage of Scorn in addition to the series X footage. It’s all nice looking, but Jesus is all of it boring as hell. I held out hope for a turnaround until yesterday’s footage. Only thing that can put this game back on my radar is a demo or a compelling amount of glowing reviews.
Please, it isn't on "Playstation" it looks like totally stupid! No one would buy this POS! Says every Sony FANBOY!
Uncharted, as fun as I initially thought it was, is exactly the same on PS3 as PS4. Like EXACTLY! Xbox has more content, that is DIFFERENT! Also Obsidian an Bethesda
Graphics would look much better if it were 4K 30fps and 1440p 60fps.....instead of 4K 60fps...
