ESSENCE review
Meh
by Luke Irvin

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.
