ESSENCE reviews

First off, the reviews left on Steam (which ultimately seems to have caused the platform to pull it from being purchased), are overally harsh by a long shot. That being said, this is still a flawed experience. There are definitely a few bugs (game crashes on alt+tab, graphical errors), but the main issue is just getting boring after a while. The beautiful graphics are a huge appeal, but that wears off after a while, right around the time the gameplay becomes non-linear. This really just hurts the experience, the game would be much better off as a linear game. The story doesn't make sense at all either. Overall a decent walking simulator but definitely needs some love.
