June 29th, 2009 | Category: Steam had a good deal this weekend for the game Zeno Clash.
My interest was originally piqued after reading Brad Shoemaker’s positive review at Giant Bomb.
The pure weirdness of the story and character design caught my eye immediately. The two day sale was enough to convince me to purchase and give it a shot. I’m only a few hours into the game and am having a fun time with it. The melee fighting system has an interesting staccato, and the story is one of the most original I’ve played in a long long time. And the characters…yes, the main characters, protagonists and antagonists are like something out of a twisted fever dream. The weapons are fun to look at and operate also. They are an architectural mish-mash of bones, rocks, and other neolithic objects.
For now the game is only out on PC, and most easily available on Steam. Check it out or at least download the demo if you have a taste for hide and sinew in first person games.
