Gleamlight

"Gleamlight may have been great in concept, but it does not work in execution. There’s nothing here that players can attach themselves to as a reason to continue playing outside of some great visual and sound design. The battle system …"

"Gleamlight tries to mix-up a formula that we&s;ve seen before, and falls some way of short. Despite some interesting features, it&s;s biggest problem is that it&s;s not fun to play."

"BAD - Gleamlight commits the cardinal sin of gaming by being boring. There’s nothing good to see here, and that’s a shame considering its premise seemed promising. The gameplay is boring, the visuals are generic, the AI is terrible, the …"

"Gleamlight&s;s art style is beautiful and immersive, but the combat here is slow and tedious. With no story to latch onto it all just feels shallow. Even though the game is extremely short, your time and money are better spent …"

"I say this with a lot of respect for a shipped game — Gleamlight doesn’t feel finished. Had there been even the smallest amount of text or UI, I honestly feel like this would have been a more enjoyable experience …"

"Gleamlight has the looks with it’s beautiful design and unique world. Sadly disappointing controls and mechanics lead to an overly frustrating experience which I didn’t find particularly enjoyable. Maybe something to check out on sale but this is a piece …"

"Gleamlight’s stained-glass art style and generally good music are it’s best qualities. The platforming and combat are fine, but a couple of the boss fights are more disappointing than frustrating. The game is also very short, and replaying it backward …"

"Gleamlight is a game that could be something great, but squanders it at every turn. It’s on the right track by taking inspiration from a couple of great games, unfortunately, it never comes close to matching them. There is no …"

"It&s;s evident, even from as early a point in what is a dismally short but unsatisfactory game as this, that Gleamlight is both unpolished and unfinished."

"Gleamlight is one of those titles that visually sucks you in pretty easily..."

"Out of all the indie games I’ve played this year Gleamlight is one of the most disappointing. It isn’t broken or anything but it just doesn’t present much to make playing it worth it. It’s got a great art style …"

"Gleamlight is a simple 2D platformer with a pretty premise but not a lot of substance to back it up."

"So overall, Gleamlight is a good testing ground for a different kind of adventure but unfortunately some of its more unique ideas are what does it in. Gorgeous to look at, there’s simply no challenge to the combat and the …"

"Gleamlight is a visually beautiful game, however, its repetitive gameplay and the lack of a replay factor are a problem. If you are looking for something fast and beautiful for an affordable price, it may be able to satisfy your …"

"While Gleamlight is beautiful visually to behold some of the developer&s;s design decisions make the game frustrating to play at times. The game isn&s;t exceedingly hard but there are times, due to its dark presentation, you&s;re not sure which way …"

"Gleamlight is worse than the majority of bad games."
