My Video review: http://WWW.O ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Kus. com/eleusis-Resena/My Written review: http://www.agustinfest.com/2015/10/eleusis/Steam has an ironic category for this type of games: Walking Simulator. And It's ironic because these games tend to force you to explore their world, from one to the other, with a speed and discomfort, sometimes even more difficult than if you were walking on difficult roads in real life. (Dimension: ♬ The paths of Life ♪). Why do they do it? Who knows. Some games still seek, in an eagerness I hope that experimental, interpret and replicate real life. I am Generally against it unless the replicated process is, in itself, fascinating. In this case, Eleusis bored me soon. And that I tried to give him a chance and wanted to dive to explore from beginning to end the world of this little terrifying mystery.
Speaking of Mysteries: It seems to Me that Eleusis is a pagan ritual in a Greek village. In the minutes of play you find acolytes in togas, a woman locked in a house and a pool of blood. You can Also hear the wolves in the distance and the exploration of the Dark forest is dangers, interesting. The atmosphere of the game is excellent and if it had depended, I would have stayed all the chapters. I Also have to be honest and tell them that I only played two chapters before I got bored and surrendered. Perhaps My review is not entirely fair but, as I said in video, this game reminded me of two other of the same genre which I explored and played meticulously at the time: Anna and Myst. Those Games grabbed me right away and they wouldn't let me run that easy. With Eleusis (and that gives me a little sadness) was not the case.
Perhaps The first thing that annoyed me and rejected me as someone willing to stay, is the arbitrariness of riddles: Find a hose, look for the scooter, find a container, take gasoline out of the scooter with the hose and put it in the container, looking for the axe in the Broad forest Dark, go back to town, find a basement, find a generator, turn on the light, use the axe in a barrel, pull out a key. Do you understand Me? The game, although very real in the aspect of the walk and the ambience, is terribly bland when it comes to presenting its logic. That is, it suffers too much of a logic of videogame and only people hardened, people committed, will want to find how to understand all these things and to link them within this world, to solve the mystery. All mystery game, to be interesting, needs a healthy balance between various things to make it tasty to play it. I'm afraid Eleusis exaggerates in some and Chafea in others.
If someone really wants to encourage you to play it, I suggest your purchase on a bundle, several bottles of wine and many hours of patience.
