I think he was a bit harsh.
But at the same time I'm pissed off that Steam refused my refund request; a game that cost that much should last longer than three hours. It is beautiful in its own way but it's definitely not a proper game. ZP is right to say that Scorn is essentially a walk through a few pages of concept art.
I'm not saying that it's all bad, just that you should wait for it to hit the £5 mark before you buy it.

i had the feeling from the outset
that this was going to be a well-produced, but cynical and disappointing cash-grab. much the same feeling i had watching the fallout 76 trailer three years ago, in fact.
agony wasn't very well received (and at least has the decency to be priced accordingly), but it had an undeniable diabolical allure which necrophagic coat-tails i think ebb software knew they could ride.
yahtzee's inevitable hyperbole notwithstanding, i think he's on the money here, and i won't be parting with mine until it's under a fiver.

Fair enough
The only game I'm considering getting a PC for atm is S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly.

Scorn predates Agony by a couple of years.
And all respect to ZP, but the art is just as much Bekinski as Giger.

i stand very much corrected
it's a shame then, that after 8 years in development, one brief pre-launch gameplay video was enough to convince me that it wouldn't be much cop.
