Gylt review9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() At first, I didn’t really get the point of a watered-down version of The Last of Us until I came to a realization Gylt isn’t for people who can or should play The Last of Us.įor some reason, the absence of blood and the monsters being more of a “Henry Sellick” level of creepy didn’t clue me into this. You even go around consuming random discarded medications to regain health, though this time, it’s inhalers rather than pills. The gameplay also felt very familiar, as it has you sneaking around monsters and scrounging up scarce resources to potentially kill them, just like a more simplistic version of The Last of Us. It wasn’t necessarily “bad”, but the plot about a young girl searching for her cousin in a weird, spooky version of a familiar location felt a bit too Stranger Things (yeah, I know the irony of saying something is derivative of Stranger Things when Stranger Things is purposefully derivative of a lot of other things). In the first few minutes, I wasn’t particularly impressed by Gylt. ![]() But earlier this month, Gylt was re-released on PC and consoles, and I got to check out the PlayStation 5 version. The title was originally released as a Stadia exclusive back in 2019, and was briefly not available anywhere after Stadia was shut down in 2023. I recently wrote about the gradual destruction of media at the hands of big companies, so it’s interesting to review a game like Gylt, because it was actually saved from being unplayable. ![]()
