Bleak Faith: abbandonata

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it for now, unless you’re prepared for a lot of jank. One of the most visually striking worlds I’ve ever seen in games, Bleak Faith: Forsaken’s Omnistructure feels like something out of a half-remembered dream—one I might have had after a night of poring over M.C. Escher albums and watching Alien. It’s a vast mash-up of impossible ancient architecture and hyper-modern megastructures, with stone archways spanning yawning chasms formed by infinities of dingy apartment complexes. Unfortunately, it arrives severely lacking in fit and finish, and feels like an alpha build of a game that will be genuinely fascinating to explore when it’s done.
