![]() Only the “puzzle” aspect of how the game’s story is told saves it for me. The gameplay is too simple and the story too cliched for my tastes. That does not mean I find the game to be bad at all, but I personally do not understand the hype around it. No matter the subjects of this love story, I was hoping for something more, maybe even something tragic, but something.else. While I understand that some people found the story of two teenage girls falling in love to be captivating, I found the story to be full of cliches, especially with how it ended. For me, that means that the story, and everything you do, to be meaningless. Ultimately, if you really think about it, the actions of Katie have absolutely no bearing on that or any other part of the story the story has already happened, and she’s just reading and understanding it after the fact. Katie is not really the protagonist, but merely the vessel to tell the story of her sister Sam, who really is not a likeable person to read about. All these factors come together to bring this immersive and mysterious world to fruition.īasically, here is how I view the game. ![]() Finally, the voice acting and the overall atmosphere crafted by the game are nearly flawless. Finally, the mystery surrounding the game that unravels throughout the course of the story is very intriguing, and quite unique compared to many games that I have played. The friendly relationship the develops between Henry and Delilah feels authentic as well, despite their separation, and the course it takes feels natural for the audience to experience, especially since it lasts for a whole summer. It also easily establishes how Henry’s life has led to the situation he is in. In addition, it is well told, and with multiple choices at several points in the game it is easy to craft a different “Henry” every playthrough, which will affect minor things throughout the game. It easily goes back and forth between being hilariously funny only to quickly punch you in the gut with its with its overall sadness. In addition, the story, with a couple of issues, is masterfully well done. The exploration is easily the best part of the game. ![]() There are certainly secrets to be found, as well as information that can more fully flesh out the world in which Henry lives in. Gameplay is pretty simple, consisting of exploration, examination, and the acquisition of items within the world. The graphics are not exactly great for a newer game, but the game more than makes up for it in its accuracy of the world. And the world, while not especially large, is quite accurate in its beauty and isolation. Taking place in a region of the country that I myself have explored and loved I was quite excited to play a representation of it. Firewatch is a first person adventure game unlike anything else I have ever played. It’s not often that games allow your choices to hold weight for what the final game ends as, so DBH is unique in that manner.First off, the positives. It’s one of the only games I’ve ever seen that can have a wildly different outcome based on one choice alone, and it has something like 40 different endings. ![]() Beautifully written story with amazing characters, the action side of that game is really just a bonus but even then it’s a far cry from something like an RPG or an FPS game, it’s still mostly walking around, watching a story unfold, and having some dialogue with some action and quick time events mixed in. Gone Home and What Remains Of Edith Finch are my suggestions in the way of super immersive story where you unravel a mystery by exploring a location and most of the gameplay itself is walking around, discovering things, and talking about it.įor something slightly less similar, but just as well written and extremely story driven, Detroit:Become Human is a good one though it’s exclusive to Playstation sadly.
