I thought the shadow version of Bethelwood and the school environments were compelling and lovingly crafted, and I enjoyed this "Silent Hill 2 for kids" vibe that the game had going on. This can be used not only to extinguish fires (duh), but can also help you solve puzzles, navigate through steam leaks, and freeze enemies!ĭon't get me wrong - there's still a lot to enjoy here. What's odd here is that you later get a fire extinguisher that, although it requires time to recharge, never actually runs out of whatever compound is inside. Although the batteries and inhalers could have introduced a bit of a survival horror aspect to the game, Gylt just isn't difficult enough to create this tension in the player. I'm not even sure I can recall a time when I had less than four inhalers (Sally can carry a maximum of five). The aforementioned inhalers heal Sally, and these are also all over the place (and marked on your map). You'll get quite a bit of exposure to these tooltips. ![]() An odd aspect here is the game's insistence on telling you exactly what you can do with batteries (and inhalers) do every single time you pick them up. Luckily, there are batteries absolutely everywhere, and the ones that you don't pick up are marked on your map. However, both her flashlight executions and flashlight focus eat a lot of battery power. She can also jam the flashlight into the backs of most enemies to instantly destroy them. She also has a "flash" that recharges over time that she can use to stun enemies. dark thing going on, where Sally has a flashlight that she can focus to "burn" 2-3 particular spots on an enemy to dispatch them. The game has this cool Alan Wake-style light vs. The enemy awareness meter, although simple, is sufficient. Taking on many enemies at once is a bad idea. ![]() As usual in stealth games, your protagonist Sally can hide in shadows and distract enemies. I tend to enjoy most stealth games, so perhaps I'm already the target audience for this type of thing. At long last, following Orcs Must Die 3 (another Stadia exclusive that I didn't get to until much later), Gylt has finally arrived on Steam. Although I remember seeing something about this game back when it released on Stadia, I really didn't pay very much attention to it.
