Golden Light Critic Reviews

I honestly think that Golden Light is going to appeal specifically to people with a specific type of brain rot. My specific type of brain rot, where we like our wretched absurdity mixed in with the type of emotions that eat at you from the inside. It’s the torment that Golden Light nails in every aspect. It’s the perfect interactive demonstration of what it’s like to have a mind that never lets the light shine. The fact that it simultaneously manages to be a unique and enjoyable experience is probably a very important fact that I’m too busy staring at my shoes to appreciate.

I doubt that it will be most people's cup of tea but for those out there that crave some disturbing, surreal horror, Golden Light is well worth its modest price.

With all its delicious insanity, Golden Light works better as a viewing, rather than playing experience. It does have a style and a smattering of bold ideas, but the core of its gameplay is searching for keys in similar-looking hallways, with bad gunplay, weak stealth mechanics and poor resource management.
