Something about it just doesn't grab me. But I'll give it a shot since it is on GP. Might be one of those that is more fun to play than it is to watch.

This seems like a perfect gamepass game, very niche but maybe some people will try it and like it.
I don't have GP so I would need play a demo or something first.

Looks boring but very immersive. I'll definitely try it out, hope the puzzles are good.

I'm just in for the cool art style. Looks pretty unique. If it actually has solid gameplay I'll be pleasantly surprised.

As grotesque as this game looks, i imagine in-universe this is how Samus Aran from the Metroid series pictures some of the planets she had encountered (minus all the phalluses). We as the player (and Nintendo's global tone of games) get a lighter envision of course.
in fact, given that the Metroid series was influenced by the Alien meta (xenomorph begot Metriods, Ridley Scott begot Ridley, the space pirate) and this game paying homage to Giger's art style(which he did art for), I would be curious to see these dev take on the Metroid PRIME series as they fully captured the atmosphere.
we'll have to see if they are good at shooters and adventure puzzles

Report me if I continue to console war
Giving me alien and existenz vibes, certainly one of the more interesting looking Indies.

Super keen to go through this. Big Giger fan, just here to play this in a few settings in the pitch black with some good headphones. Expecting the gameplay to be a 5-6/10 which is fine with me when it's seven hours long with a 10/10 atmosphere.

I'd pay a high price for a game featuring Samus Aran exploring phallic Druuna-esque worlds.
Scorn looks gorgeous and I'm still interested, but what we have seen so far has been boring. I hope there is more to it. Good thing it's on Gamepass because I don't know how wide the appeal is for a game like this.

I was really excited about the game initially, but I think I was just awed by the graphics. It now looks kind of boring other than the visuals. I'm glad it's day 1 on Game Pass, I most likely wouldn't buy this game. I hope it's good, but I have my doubts.

Gamepass quality written all over it. An instant gp classic.

How long is this game?

I was so ready to shit on this game and call it a walking simulator (which I guess it is, to a certain extend) but that was quite interesting to watch tbh. Lets see how this turns out, maybe we have a sleeper hit within reach.

I like adventure games, so this might work for me. Unfortunately, while the art style is inspired by Giger's work, it doesn't seem as evocative or dangerous as Giger's work. But this is very early in the game, so the metal-penis monsters and cyber-titty demons will probably come later.

Nice to see they've improved the animation from earlier builds, which looked kinda stiff and unconvincing. But the same issues remain; take away the impressive (if derivative) aesthetic and there's really not much there at all.
Really don't see what the gameplay hook is supposed to be; and its going to need it as the novelty of the "ick" factor is going to wear off pretty quick I imagine.

Damn, I thought it was a FPS. Looks like they changed it to walking sim.

Got a chance to check the preview as well. It's the prologue, basically the first 35-40 mins. Depending on how long the sliding pods puzzle takes you. I was expecting more involvement from the enemies and more gore, and some gunplay. But the beginning is a slow build. Creepiness is all over the environment, and the best word to use is Unsettling. Game gave me shudders in some parts. So far mostly puzzles involving the environment. You get this piston pushing gun close to end of the level. It's basically a tool to unlock objects. You can also use it on enemies (well more of environmental hazards), to break them. Kind of cool looking.
It seems each area can be tackled a couple ways, for example
. Kind of interesting this one.
I got a lot to say, but I'll put that in the write up, but so far the game is definitely intriguing in a weird way.
Here's my run through the prologue. If you guys have questions, let me know. I'll try my best to answer them.

the creature you find in the pod, you can either kill it, mutilate it and use it's hand, to unlock the door, or free it, make it follow you, and get it's hand stuck on the door to allow you to proceed

Seems like a lot of peoples have a hard time accepting not everything has to be action jam-packed and can be a slow burner / adventure / puzzle.

Looks good. Definitely what I expected it to be. An immersive game with exploration, that's really it. A few other things sprinkled throughout, but that's really it for the most part. Definitely won't be for everyone. But I'm down just because of the whole Giger-esque aesthetic alone.

This looks like walking around a Doom level editor before they add the enemies and actual fun.

Impressive.
Wtf, I love walking and squeezing between tight gaps now!
On topic the game seems to have improved a lot graphically since I remember last seeing it. Looking forward to seeing how it plays.

Looks amazing, need a game like this!
This is what a true "Alien prequel" would look like. Not those stupid Prometheus/Alien:Covenant movies.
Also love laughing at stupid takes that seem to think this was supposed to be an action Doom-like game or something, lmao smh.....

Graphically it looks quite good, it seems a priori clearly improved since the last time.
Playably is what the different gameplays let us see. That is, 70% puzzles and 30% shooting.
It will have very mixed reviews for that reason, but in this case the most important thing is that it is Day One on Gamepass and it will be "easy" to draw your own conclusions.

David Cronenberg would get his rocks off watching that.
I'm tempted to buy it for the art style alone but it's giving me hard Agony vibes. That game was so utterly boring but boy, it looked fucking good.

This looks like one of those games that would be an “experience” in VR
