I wouldn’t say Alt254 is a bad game, but it definitely is a boring one: Traversing through gigantic areas with no indication of what to do, without save points and surrounded by enemies is not particularly fun with its execution. While a game like Dark Souls, which tells a story through its gameplay, may be able to make this system work, a game like Alt254, with its incredibly shallow combat and mechanics in general, doesn’t. Having minimalistic graphics only makes everything much more underwhelming as well; beating hordes of identical red squares.

About
Alt254 is a minimalistic open-world action-adventure and exploration game. You are ■. The world around you is a mystery -- you don't know friend from enemy, safe from dangerous. You have to embark on a journey of exploration and self-discovery, and overcome all kinds of dangers, enemies and hazards, to understand what's going on... and maybe find the meaning behind all this. Set out on a fascinating minimalistic adventure where you will explore an open world, full of surprises and enigmas, where every location is different and brings its own challenges. The very first puzzle will be to understand the world around you, its rules and mechanics.... but that is just the beginning. In your adventure, you will find broken pieces of your memory -- glimpses of a lost past, like a shattered mirror, its pieces scattered around the world. Maybe when you find them all, you will understand who you are and why you are here.

Critic reviews
- 7.0À condition de savoir où l'on met les pieds, Alt254 est une aventure singulière, qui pourra offrir quelques heures de véritable réflexion aux joueurs qui préfèrent l'évocation au photo-réalisme. Ce jeu rétro jusqu'au-boutiste parvient malgré sa limitation graphique de 21x26 pixels à donner la sensation d'explorer un univers cohérent, doté de ses propres codes, qu'il faudra malheureusement apprendre à l'ancienne, c'est à dire... à la dure.
