  • The game features nice graphics and a creepy atmosphere with good sounds and music.
  • Exploration and puzzle-solving are rewarding aspects, with interesting spaceship and interior design.
  • Survival horror gameplay elements like inventory management and looting add to the experience.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, including save issues, interaction problems, and lighting glitches.
  • Progression is hampered by hard-to-find items, frustrating enemy encounters, and loss of inventory after loading new levels.
  • Lack of developer support and patches, poor story execution, and an abrupt, incomplete ending diminish overall appeal.

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story is criticized for being unpolished, monotonous, and lacking engagement, feeling hastily written and underdeveloped. Several serious bugs hinder progression, making the gameplay feel like filler rather than complementing the narrative. Overall, the story fails to deliver the promised epic adventure and offers little incentive to play through rather than watch a playthrough.

    • “I’d even go as far to say it would have deserved a paragraph or two in the pros section, but then something so heinous and so damning came to light… and that is, the gameplay acted as filler to the story, which is super weird to hear out loud because usually it would be the other way around!”
    • “It promises an epic adventure, but in reality, it looks like an unpolished prototype: the levels are monotonous, the objectives are boring, and the story doesn't really captivate.”
    • “Both the gameplay and story, the latter to be covered in the next con, make it abundantly clear this is one of those games where you’re much better off just watching a playthrough video in its entirety and you wouldn’t miss out on anything!”
    • “It’s sufficiently transparent that the story wasn’t thought up in a day, a week maybe at most, but definitely not a day!”

  • graphics

    The graphics of "The First Odyssey" are visually appealing and evoke a strong sci-fi horror atmosphere with detailed command consoles and panels. However, many assets appear to be borrowed or flipped from stock sources, giving the visuals a somewhat unoriginal and inconsistent feel.

    • “The visuals scream out “sci-fi horror” with their futuristically intimidating line of command consoles, panels and keycard readers.”
    • “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever.”
    • “Nice graphics.”
    • “The first Odyssey is a weird train wreck of an apparently abandoned game (don't let the visuals fool you either, I suspect a lot of the game is made from flipped stock assets).”
    • “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are borrowed from asset stores or wherever.”

    The gameplay is plagued by bugs and poor design, with no save functionality, making it frustrating to play. While some core gameplay elements are present, it often feels like filler to support the story rather than a compelling experience on its own. Overall, many players find it more worthwhile to watch a playthrough than to engage directly with the gameplay.

    • “While it doesn’t quite know what to do with them at times, it has got the necessary bits down gameplay-wise.”
    • “I’d even go as far to say it would have deserved a paragraph or two in the pros section, but then something so heinous and so damning came to light… and that is, the gameplay acted as filler to the story, which is super weird to hear out loud because usually it would be the other way around!”
    • “It's a bug-riddled disaster with no saves, incoherent design, and terrible gameplay and writing.”
    • “Both the gameplay and story make it clear this is one of those games where you're better off just watching a playthrough video and wouldn't miss anything.”
    • “The gameplay acted as filler to the story, which is unusual and makes it feel super weird and disjointed.”

  • music

    The music is well-received, featuring good sounds that enhance the overall experience.

    • “Good sounds and music”
