All Atmosphere, No Substance - BELOW
7BELOW is a game that had potential but did not capitalize on any of it. The game is painstakingly slow to get started and, even when it does get rolling, it fails to deliver meaningful gameplay. There is no apparent story or context to any of gameplay, just a bunch of atmospheric environments that you will want to learn more about but never will. The gameplay is mechanically sound but the player is never given a chance to really engage with the mechanics. Iteration time is painfully slow and death in later stages leads to a cycle of grinding and trying to get out of the late stage levels that is nothing more than a waste of the player’s time. There was a lot of potential in this title, but nothing came of it. I would not recommend it as there are far too many games that will give you an overall better experience.
