    The game's graphics are a mixed bag, featuring impressive large environments and good animations when maxed out, but overall feeling outdated and less polished than expected for an Unreal Engine 5 title. Users also report technical issues such as settings not saving properly and inconsistent FPS performance.

    • “The animations and graphics seem excellent.”
    • “The graphics when maxed out are nice and the huge environments are pretty impressive.”
    • “The environments are also pretty (as for graphics I played on ultra so I can't say what the average experience/optimization is like).”
    • “Graphically speaking the game is not very impressive, it uses Unreal Engine 5.4.3.0 but looks more like an old generation Unreal Engine 4 game.”
    • “Every time you change a graphic setting it reverts back when you start the game; this is very annoying.”
    • “The game is full of bugs. Every time I come back, the FPS is really poor, but when I change any graphic setting, the FPS improves. This happens every time.”

    The gameplay of Son and Bone is praised for its fast-paced, fluid movement mechanics like double jumping, dashing, and grapple swinging, combining nostalgic action with modern design. However, performance issues occasionally disrupt the flow and immersion, and some combat elements like weapon-enemy dynamics and grapple use could be better optimized. Overall, the gameplay is creative and energetic but has room for refinement.

    • “Son and Bone, developed and published by Teamkill Media, is a first-person shooter that ambitiously attempts to combine the nostalgia of classic action games with contemporary gameplay mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay itself emphasizes speed and fluidity, with mechanics such as double jumping, dashing, and grapple swinging allowing for rapid, agile movement throughout the levels.”
    • “On one hand, the game’s concept, movement mechanics, and weapon variety are lauded for their creativity and energy.”
    • “These performance problems often interrupt the flow of gameplay and detract from immersion, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy what the game sets out to deliver.”
    • “Certain weapons should be better at taking out certain enemies, and the grapple mechanic should be utilised much more in combat.”
    • “Son and bone, developed and published by Teamkill Media, is a first-person shooter that ambitiously attempts to combine the nostalgia of classic action games with contemporary gameplay mechanics.”

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, including game-breaking bugs, erratic AI, unstable frame rates, and persistent stuttering, which disrupt gameplay and immersion. While visuals can be impressive on ultra settings, overall performance is inconsistent, requiring features like VSync to maintain stability. These problems prevent the game from reaching its full potential, making it hard to recommend without reservations.

    • “Performance is very mixed; I can get a stable FPS but V-Sync has to be on.”
    • “The environments are also pretty, but I played on ultra settings, so I can't comment on the average experience or optimization.”
    • “Reports of game-breaking bugs, erratic AI behavior, unstable frame rates, and persistent stuttering have been widespread among the community.”
    • “These performance problems often interrupt the flow of gameplay and detract from immersion, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy what the game sets out to deliver.”
    • “It feels like a title that could become a cult favorite if the bugs were fixed and performance improved, but as it stands, many players find it difficult to recommend without reservations.”

    The story centers on Sheriff Sam Judge's journey from pursuing a bandit to navigating a mysterious alien world with prehistoric creatures. While the concept is intriguing, many find the narrative weak and underdeveloped, though this is not seen as a major drawback for the overall game experience.

    • “The story follows Sheriff Sam Judge, a character who initially tracks down a notorious bandit, only to find himself transported to a strange alien world filled with prehistoric creatures and dinosaurs.”
    • “The story is pretty weak (although in my opinion this isn't a deal breaker in a game).”
    • “The idea of the game is great, but the story or narrative is lacking in some respects.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-received, with the battle tracks praised as particularly great, though some non-battle music becomes repetitive and annoying over time.

    • “The battle music was freaking great.”
    • “The music is not bad, and in the latter half of the game it's actually pretty good.”
    • “The music on repeat kinda became annoying.”
