GYLT Reviews
Indie atmospheric adventure games are like candy to me, and I suspect some people are going to get a lot more out of Gylt than others. It's very much in the same spirit as Concrete Genie in that it's a short but mostly engaging romp that's best enjoyed by the right kind of audience.
GYLT is an adventure that, under the paradigm of an survival game, invites you to think about a real horror, the bullying. Its Tequila's more mature game, both in the narrative as in the playable and technical side, but it may feel a short game and not a very challenging one. As Stadia's first contact, it works like a charm.

GYLT introduces a new IP to a new system with some world building elements that hearken back to some of Tequila Works' previous titles, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Gylt is an intensely personal experience filled with average gameplay and overused tropes.
The first exclusive game for Stadia is not the one you always dreamt to see in the launch line-up for a new platform. Even if it's not that bad, is nothing to be excited about either.

Gylt is a solid but somewhat derivative adventure-horror game and an exclusive launch title for Google Stadia.
Gylt presents some bright ideas in its dark world even as its gameplay mechanics are often much too familiar.
GYLT won't creep out most genre veterans, but kids deserve quality horror stories too, and there's no better starting place in games than GYLT.
The result is an always regular experience, if not for some well-conceived enigma and a good number of secrets to be discovered. Gylt is not a product to be completely thrown away, but in order to give character to its platform, Stadia needs other exclusive items.

Gylt shines as a scary adventure with beautiful Disney Pixar optics, exciting stealth gameplay and a heartbreaking story

Gylt is not the killer app exclusive that Stadia needs at launch, but it's a serviceable stealth horror game experience while it lasts.
Tequila Works' teen-rated horror might surprise you with its shocks and creepy atmosphere, but it's a little thin.
Gylt is a game that isn't too good or too bad to be memorable, both in terms of gameplay and narrative. A simple and easy adventure that can entertain anyone for some hours but that doesn't do anything relevant.

Gylt is a creepy, atmospheric stealth game with a relatable, socially-aware message that's hampered by its Stadia-exclusivity.
Gylt was actually a fairly good experience, it brought some chills and had an interesting story.
Gylt offers a simple mix of stealth, exploration and puzzles. Despite the atmosfere has a bit of a Silent Hill vibe, it fails to do anything relevant to be memorable.

GYLT provides a solid entry point into the horror video game genre, especially for those who are not typically drawn to such games. The presence of a child protagonist, simple controls, and relatable themes of bullying and self-worth make it accessible to a wide audience. While there are moments of tension and scares, the horror elements are relatively mild compared to other games in the genre.
GYLT is a game that's not without its flaws, but the simple gameplay mechanics and interesting atmosphere do a good enough job of retaining one's interest for its relatively short runtime.
The greatest quality of GYLT is not in its gameplay, but in making use of a very relevant theme to show us that, sometimes, our biggest nightmare can be sitting right next to us.

Gylt may not push the boundaries as far as its gameplay, but it finds a niche in the horror genre and has some nice moments along the way.
