I have to admit, I'm disappointed. Neither the gameplay nor the story of the game is anything that thrills me. There are a lot of promising elements in the game like the eerie atmosphere, the concept of losing limbs to solve puzzles and of course the overall surreal images. But Swery once again cannot manage it to build in enough own ideas. Again he heavily relies on stuff from Twin Peaks. The story itself looks like it heavily borrows from social dramas like Life is Strange. The whole LGBT stuff the story later offers feels forced so far and not build in well.
But what really bugs me is the gameplay. Gosh, the controls are the real evil here, the level design is boring and there simply isn't much variety in gameplay. What started out as a fun puzzle platformer the first half of the game turned into a nightmare filled with annoying puzzles that aren't fun to solve. I really have to force myself from screen to screen because, in the end, I want to know how this weird story turns out. I can watch a Walkthrough via YouTube, but since I paid for the game, this isn't an option.
So, how have you, community of ResetERA, experienced The Missing? Is it worth to hang on till the credits roll? Currently, I'm playing the section with those god forsaken monkeys. This one section with the monkeys where you partly play in the dark.
