Perception

Perception gave me an even greater appreciation and understanding of potentially how a blind person goes through daily life, and while I may never know how that truly feels, even a glimpse of that life, experienced through a videogame, has touched my heart in a way I never expected.

An imaginative horror game, Perception is coming at a well trodden genre from a new angle, but despite its good ideas, it doesn't quite live up to its own potential.

I can say, without a doubt, that Perception was up there as one of the most purely scary games I have ever played. The blindness mechanic really does serve as the game’s greatest asset, when it’s all working correctly. It also drags the game down harder than it should, and at times I almost found myself wishing there was a “sight” mode. Still, if horror is your thing and you don’t mind being lost, then you shouldn’t wait any longer for this.
