What Gamespot Users have to say about Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
-
Rating:5.5
Despite a delightful soundtrack and a unique visual style, S:SSEP is simply not good. It's simply not fun.
At the heart of why this game is not fun is that there's nothing to it. It has maybe 15 screens - backgrounds filled with glowing, rustling pixellated trees and rabbits and waterfalls - through which you, a 'Scythian', p... Read Full Review

The Superbrothers' experiment and the music by Jim Guthrie is a conduit to a sense-stimulating interactive machine.
A rhythmic battle with cosmic geometry builds tension upon the unknown and heightens this anxiety with the abstract crescendo of the music. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP is all style and complete substance. It's ... Read Full Review

Please don't spend money. this game is nothing
I signed up just to give this game a poor score. Please don't spend money on it like I did. I can't help but think the 10's on here are friends of the publisher. Really terrible game play in a novel visual format. Really... Read Full Review

The Emperor has no clothes ...
I bought this game on the promise of amazing music, original, inspired gameplay, and substance over glitz and glamor. Also, curiosity over the SUPERB designation in the review, which had me wondering what could be SO un... Read Full Review

Not a game worth buying as a game, but at least the included music soundtrack files are mostly worth the purchase.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP occupies a weird middle-ground between those artsy indie vs creative indie game, and the result is it isn't completely satisfying in either regard. Just think of how Dear Esther would b... Read Full Review

Classic from beginning to end...
An epic (yet sadly short) adventure, with (as everyone has already mentioned) an exceptional soundtrack and grippingly human twists in the dialogue. Inventive, and humourous this game needs to be played. A few of t... Read Full Review

This game is hard to describe, but it has amazing (yet simple) Graphics , and has an imersive soundtrack.To be honest I think I only bought it cause it was a low price (and low priced games have been rely cool) but, I wa... Read Full Review

The whole is more than the sum of its parts. And it's such a wonderful and enchanting whole.
To cut this short: 1. Is this a game? Well... sort of. 2. Is it worth it? Totally. I enjoyed every bit of it. And every pixel. I gave it a perfect ten, because even if the game part of it is limited, the interactive... Read Full Review

Quality over quantity! It reminds you of the classics while still being something new.
I think this is my first review; this game is so good I feel that it deserves all the recognition it can get. I doubt I can add anything new that hasn't been said, so I'll just say this: if you consider yourself a retro ... Read Full Review

As aweswome as advertised?
In the music world, an "EP" is a short (usually twenty minutes or less) collection of outtakes, B-sides or other compositions that didn't fit in to any main album, released as a way for an artist to clear their backlog b... Read Full Review
