    Usually when I finish a game I simply talk about it in a conversation and be done with, but this game in particular has made me write my first Steam review for it + get so enamored with it that I wish others can experience it too not sponsored I swear



    Initially saw the post by @Abdelsalam about the game's release and later seeing @UnapologeticDino having it in her wishlist, I gave it a completely blind purchase and tried it out just four days ago. To say I was hooked immediately is an understatement, to put it in short words: REPLACED is an interactive art project, it is beautiful in how it combines 2d and 3d, as well as the extremely complex things they did to make everything blend in together, I don't think I ever got bored of looking at the game in my two consecutive playthroughs.

    To be truthful, it is a cinematic game first, combat game second. This by no means implies that the game is bad, but it is obvious that the star of the show is the art direction before gameplay. The gameplay has a nice feel/flow to it and the story is intriguing (although at some points the writing can feel a bit bland) but all in all it's one of the games that I loved so much I 100% it to star it on my Steam account.

    Honourable mention: The game has multiple translations, including Arabic! and not only that, but the font matches the game's pixelated look too (as well as other languages) showing that they took extra care concerning the other languages.

    The game for localised regions costs 8 dollars as well, practically a steal. Happy to answer any inquiries.

    Once again thanks to @Abdelsalam for showing me this masterpiece that I wouldn't have known otherwise, hope you get around it as well!

    @Antoniodeath678 @mazen18 Glad to spread the propaganda
    @sjuric87 It's around 12-15 hours of gameplay depending on your playstyle so it's not a very long game, I managed to finish it in two days if it's any further encouragement!
