Guts and Glory Game Review: A Slog Through Obstacles and Gore

I recently stumbled upon the game Guts and Glory, a title that promises an exciting experience with its blend of gore and thrilling gameplay. However, my journey through this game was anything but exhilarating. In fact, I found myself struggling to stay engaged after just an hour of playing time.

One aspect that did stand out for me was the sheer amount of gore in the game. From losing a foot when hitting terrain as a bicycle rider to spilling blood trails everywhere, the game's violent nature is undeniable. The gore, however, is not limited to just these moments; deadly objects and hazards are constantly trying to knock you to pieces on your way to reaching objectives.

The difficulty curve attempts to alleviate this by introducing a gradual increase in complexity and harshness, but even so, I found myself struggling to stay engaged. The control feedback, unfortunately, plays a significant role in making the game feel far too hard to get into. The slow and awkward maneuvering around hazards only added to my frustration.

On the other hand, I do appreciate the general concept of the game. Each level presents a challenge to reach from one point on the map to another while avoiding obstacles, traps, and deadly hazards along the way. You're able to choose from a variety of character-specific vehicles, such as bicycles, motorbikes, and quads.

The tutorial does an effective job of giving players a brief understanding of how the game functions, but beyond that, each track offers different challenges ranging from simple to insane. The park area serves as the game's tutorial section, and while it's not particularly exciting, it sets the stage for what lies ahead.

Unfortunately, the rest of the game falls flat. The lack of variety in maps and uninspiring challenges makes the overall experience feel bare and unexciting. If you're a fan of Goat Simulator or Trials, you might find some enjoyment here, but for me, Guts and Glory failed to deliver on its promise.

In conclusion, while Guts and Glory has potential, it ultimately feels like a slog through obstacles and gore with poor control feedback and uninspiring maps. With so many other exciting games out there, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
