How it feels

What players say

Players are split on Buried Shards. Some praise its story, atmosphere, and the day-night light guiding mechanic, but others are frustrated by unavoidable chase sequences with no guidance, a lack of graphics or save settings, and bugs. Multiple reviews call it an asset flip.
