Caligo Review (kokiri1232)
Caligo is an okay atmospheric, walking simulator now then what's the story. A man wakes up in a strange room knowing he has died; now he must explore his memories as he must decide his ultimate fate.
Now it's like time, the story was okay a bit complex and I didn't really understand a lot of it, but if I could take a guess feels like a meditation on dreams, stories and how they shape our world I think, I'm not like a philosophy major or anything like that. The gameplay is okay it's honestly just a simple walking simulator, get to point A to point B with some cutscenes in between nothing really that interesting, but not bad either.
The graphics is really good nice and colorful with plenty of great designs that really sell the whole other worldly, after life look to the whole thing. The levels are good a little diverse with some nice locations to see and explore a little bit, my personal favorite has to be the third level, it has this beautiful Forest that kind of gives off a Hundred Acre Woods kind of vibe.
The characters were okay they were there to serve the plot and nothing else, they didn't really have any unique personalities but I did like their designs I think the torture demon, the oracle and the master are particularly the best as those three wouldn't be out of place in a doom game.
The music is very good they were really relaxing to listen too; I'm honestly surprised that there isn't a soundtrack DLC with this game. The voice acting is okay each voice actor did a good job in voicing their respected characters, like the master he felt other worldly and alien.
Now it's dislike time, well I said the gameplay was okay but it can get a little dull as again it's just a walking simulator, there's no items to pick up or monsters to hide from or even like puzzles to solve, it's simply again get to point A to point B with cutscenes in between. Also throughout the game there are these Pages you can get that has these nice pictures, the problem with it is that you can't really look at them after you've collected them. In other games you'd have like an extras mode where you could see them, but in this game it doesn't have that which really sucks.
The game is also very short you could probably beat it in less than an hour if you're not going to go after all the achievements. Finally the game is a bit pricey I mean it's practically $6 and I don't know I played plenty of free games that had more to offer than this game.
Alright then with that done Caligo is an okay atmospheric, walking simulator, it has okay gameplay, good levels and very good music. Now do I recommend this game, not really I mean it's not a bad game it's just I played plenty of other cheap and free games that had a lot more to offer, but if you want to get this game I'd say wait till it's on sale to save a couple of bucks.
