Visually, I actually really enjoy the art style of Gylt. Genuinely tense and enjoyable moments don’t last long and just as I’m starting to enjoy the game, something happens to pull me out of the experience. It becomes laughably simple and I even started pushing them into empty room just so they wouldn’t bother me later. That is until just a few minutes later where you get the fire extinguisher that freezes them in place long enough to do whatever it is you were doing. There is a surprisingly effective moment part way through the game where new mannequin enemies get introduced and you don’t really have a way to deal with them. Gylt doesn’t do a good job with its boss fights, which is a real shame since some of the designs are actually quite solid. Often these fights will be disappointingly simple with blatant weaknesses that make them too easy. When you aren’t sneaking around monsters or solving puzzles you will be facing them head on in boss fights. They are fine and break up the core stealth gameplay nicely, but are never too complex. Things like moving a ladder around to get to a higher place, whilst weird light beam patterns shine all around.

Then we’ve got the puzzles that are often just messing with things in the environment. Combat is more of a last resort anyway with exit points and hiding spots abundant throughout the small areas. Performing attacks will start to drain your batteries, but with the over-abundance of supplies this is rarely ever a problem. If you are spotted, simply targeting the weak spots (aim-assist is aggressive) will allow you to take them down with ease.

Pressing the interact button whilst standing right behind an enemy will allow you to perform an insta-kill takedown. In the same style as Alan Wake, light is your greatest ally with being able to utilise it to take out your dark enemies. It’s simple and not as effective as it should be, ending up being slightly tedious. If you do get seen, getting away is pretty easy with some of the gadgets you’ll pick up and dozens of hiding spaces scattered around the small maps. The stealth is as simple as it gets with basic monster patrols who have a limited field of vision in which to spot you. As you sneak around the town you will encounter a number of different enemy types all wanting to take you out. The city is destroyed and Sally is the only person around, although it seems she has brought monsters along with her. After being chased by some bullies in the game’s opening sequence, you return to the town and things have changed. She is out of town putting up posters, desperately trying to keep people reminded of her plight and stay on the lookout. For those who want a physical edition will have to wait until September 29 when it releases exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.You play as Sally, whose cousin, Emily, has mysteriously vanished.
