The Pale Beyond (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good;
* Excellent storytelling and writing
* Gorgeous art style
* Deep characterization
The Bad:
* Minor UI glitches
* Some trivial decisions have brutal consequences
Conclusion:
It’s rare these days for a survival game to put narrative and resource management mechanics on the same level, and do both very well. Overall, I think The Pale Beyond tells a captivating story while torturing players into finding the best solutions for keeping their crew alive.
The first playthroughs will always be frustrating, but that’s because the game doesn’t prepare players for what’s coming. When all is said and done, The Pale Beyond is an enjoyable experience if you love survival games, but if you’re looking for a purely narrative experience, look elsewhere.
