GYLT

"GYLT is an adventure that, under the paradigm of an survival game, invites you to think about a real horror, the bullying. Its Tequila&s;s more mature game, both in the narrative as in the playable and technical side, but it …"

"With an impeccable art direction and an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, GYLT welcomes us to a city full of monsters where nothing is what it seems and we will live in first person the impact of our actions... or lack …"

"Gylt is a short game, lasts about 4 hours, is simple in its design and execution, but manages to entertain. Visual aesthetics are its strongest point, the use of a child as the protagonist means that it is better to …"

"Indie atmospheric adventure games are like candy to me, and I suspect some people are going to get a lot more out of Gylt than others. It&s;s very much in the same spirit as Concrete Genie in that it&s;s a …"

"GYLT introduces a new IP to a new system with some world building elements that hearken back to some of Tequila Works&s; previous titles, which isn&s;t a bad thing at all."

"Gylt is an intensely personal experience filled with average gameplay and overused tropes."

"Gylt may not push the boundaries as far as its gameplay, but it finds a niche in the horror genre and has some nice moments along the way."

"Gylt is not the killer app exclusive that Stadia needs at launch, but it&s;s a serviceable stealth horror game experience while it lasts."

"An adventure with basic stealth elements and a teen-horror atmosphere that also winks at more recent genre series. The atmosphere is good but the all too basic gameplay seems to be aimed at a fairly young and unweaned audience. Technically …"

"A great example of how games not only entertain, but can convey powerful messages. It is not the most cutting-edge experience in the world, but it is a necessary exercise in reflection."

"Gylt shines as a scary adventure with beautiful Disney Pixar optics, exciting stealth gameplay and a heartbreaking story"

"The result is an always regular experience, if not for some well-conceived enigma and a good number of secrets to be discovered. Gylt is not a product to be completely thrown away, but in order to give character to its …"

"I enjoyed playing Gylt, I think it&s;s a title that deserved to be rescued from the Google Stadia debacle and I think it&s;s a game that is encouraged to tell a deeper story that nuances with graphic horror but that …"

"A perfect introduction to the stealth horror genre for younger gamers and a great time for those who already love it."

"Gylt aims to do a few things, but does them right, without too much ambition. The story it tells is simple, progressing without major plot twists, yet it is enjoyable and touching at certain moments, thanks in part to the …"

"The first exclusive game for Stadia is not the one you always dreamt to see in the launch line-up for a new platform. Even if it&s;s not that bad, is nothing to be excited about either."

"Tequila Works has definitely offered better experiences in the past, but Gylt is still a decent enough time."

"GYLT is a genuine survival horror adventure with an ambientation reminiscent of children&s;s school context. From the perspective of a small girl, the somber world we face is horrifying and the game manages to convey all the tension and incentivize …"

"While Gylt has some tragic elements in its story, it&s;s even more tragic that it was tied to the sinking ship that was Google Staida. Luckily, with its re-release, adults and children alike will be able to get lost in …"

"Gylt manages to tell an important story sensitively and tactfully. Although the gameplay sticks to conventions and there is little challenge, the theme and art direction help to give the game its own voice. While it doesn’t quite reach the …"

"GYLT falls short of expectations despite promising so much. The theme is strong, but the game relies on clichés and predictable plot twists instead of making a genuine effort to be impactful and memorable in its portrayal. It feels like …"

"Gylt is a very interesting game. The setting, the gameplay, the exploration, and the puzzles are very impressive. But it falls very short when it comes to the story. It felt as though the game was trying to tell two …"

"With gameplay aspects that are completely passable and rounded, GYLT isn&s;t one of the most ambitious games in the survival horror genre, but it does offer a unique experience with a lot of singularity, as well as visuals and aesthetics …"

"While Tequila Works&s; inspiration to explore bullying forms a valuable blueprint, the end result isn&s;t as well-bylt as originally expected."

"Gylt is a basic game that draws from horror classics, aimed at young audiences. It ends up being a missed opportunity, stripped of survival elements and tension. Considering Tequila Works delighted us with Rime, more was expected."

"The greatest quality of GYLT is not in its gameplay, but in making use of a very relevant theme to show us that, sometimes, our biggest nightmare can be sitting right next to us."

"Gylt presents some bright ideas in its dark world even as its gameplay mechanics are often much too familiar."

"While it looks like a modern storybook tale, Gylt deals with some pretty intense subject matter that many can relate to. It would be easy to complain that Gylt doesn’t go deep enough in any direction or layer enough complexity …"

"GYLT from Tequila Works is a heavy game to bear. Its story is overwhelmingly sad, relatable, and impactful. The gameplay is built to complement the story and the devs did a great job of pulling those two pieces together. This …"

"While its gameplay can feel a little basic at times, we’re really glad that GYLT is now free of Stadia. This is a small but powerful horror title that tackles an important issue while also providing hours of engaging gameplay. …"

"A weak combat system and a few gamplay niggles don&s;t detract from what is an eerie, adventurous tale. Yes the story could have been stronger but the visuals and mostly entertaining gamplay make Gylt an enjoyable game that never outstays …"

"Gylt is a solid but somewhat derivative adventure-horror game and an exclusive launch title for Google Stadia."

"GYLT is a pleasant experience with a serviceable anti-bullying message that could use a bit more subtlety in its delivery. While the game doesn&s;t break any new grounds in terms of horror design brought by its peers that were released …"

"Gylt is a game that isn&s;t too good or too bad to be memorable, both in terms of gameplay and narrative. A simple and easy adventure that can entertain anyone for some hours but that doesn&s;t do anything relevant."

"Tequila Works&s; teen-rated horror might surprise you with its shocks and creepy atmosphere, but it&s;s a little thin."

"Strong environmental puzzles, unfortunately, don’t do anything to save GYLT, and as such, there’s nothing here I would really recommend to anyone other than to a younger gamer just getting into the genre. Horror fans will have seen everything this …"
