Gorgeous, but empty

Playing this game through GamePass and several hours in I’m seriously contemplating abandoning it for good without finishing it. As it is I feel like I have to force myself to play it. Here are the details. PROS: - The game looks beautiful. The way it imitates a stop-motion animation visual style (though without stop-motion animation) and manages to maintain the illusion hours in is nothing short of astonishing. It particularly shines in close-up conversations. - Voice acting fits the visuals perfectly and helps convey emotions so well you won’t notice the limited facial animations. CONS: - It is just so BORING. The plot moves at a snail’s pace and the side objectives you get in the meantime are extraordinarily slow, uninteresting and repetitive. About 2 hours in Harold recognizes this but the game goes on the same way. Listen, pointing out a major flaw of your narrative is unhelpful if you’re not going to do anything to change it. - The main character, Harold, is a dunce, but not in a funny way. Characters in general are unlikable and treat Harold like trash while he just takes it. He’s just not compelling. And no, singing about how useless you are while refusing to do anything about it is not character development. - The art style, while gorgeous, brings expectations that the game doesn’t meet. It’s not cinematic in any way. Nearly all cutscenes are shot-reverse-shot with boring camera angles. All important plot developments are treated like regular dialogue, with no change in ambience, while the same elevator background music plays without change, like nothing important happened. - There are no puzzles whatsoever. The game is a long series of fetch quests where you never get to use your brains. As it is the game is basically a glorified tech demo. I applaud the effort and I encourage more developers to try art styles like this one more often. I hope in the future someone takes this art direction and makes an interesting game with it. But this isn’t it.

I really wanted to like this....

First off the game has amazing visuals, but unfortunately that isn't enough to save it from being a mediocre experience. There is so little gameplay aside from fetch quests and really simple minigames. The sidequests don't add much and just slows down the pacing of the game. The characters are fun, but they overstay their welcome. The game had the potential to be really great, but it needs some cutting down, and some actual gameplay to justify being a game instead of just being a claymation movie.

Pleasant visually, sluggish otherwise

Basically you have here walking simulator of stop-motion clay movie; there is really not much to interact with, nothing additional to do beside talking with people (and doing constant fetch quests). While conversations with NPCs are enjoyable and the humour is rather good overall, it isnt enough to mark this as an great experience. It felt a chore to go back and forth talking to people, grabbing something from one person just to deliver it back to the person requesting it, going to sleep ingame and begin the arc again. One of the most irritating parts happens when you are traveling between areas; you use "All Water tube" as your means of travel. When ever you select your destination, when ever you arrive to your destination - there is that same announcer saying same things over and over again every. Single. Time. I really started to hate it after hearing it 20th time. Let it be unskippable and repeat same slow animations on top of that and you will have quite a time. The "plot" is very slowly building up - though sometimes i dared to question if there even is something you would call a plot or if it is just some daily life of goofball you are following. The whole game could actually be summarized as you would feel in making stop-motion movie: it is painful, slow and long endeavour to finish, but pleasant to look at when it is complete. Whereas you might be intrigued to make another stop-motion project after finishing first one, you definitely wouldnt care less to get back to this one after finishing it.

I love an adventure game, but this isn't

If you're expecting another Armikrog then look elsewhere. I've sunk a lot of time into this game and so far i haven't come across any reason why it should be classified as such. there's no challenge, no objective, no puzzles and no fun. All you do is follow instructions to go from one place to the next. Yes, its looks great and but that's really not enough. If it was a film or tv show (and let's face it, that's all it really is) it would be panned, but in "game form" it's lauded as an artistic masterpiece. In case you haven't understood - there is literally nothing to do except watch a (frankly quite boring) story unfold. Seriously, there's a section where you're instructed to go and ask someone on the other side of the ship to do a thing that's important. So you get there, talk to the person and they won't do it. So you go back to the first person and they say it didn't matter anyway because they solved the problem on their own. I mean, what a timewaster. Some people have praised the voice acting, but honestly it's "ok" at best. many of the lines are delivered with the wrong tone so it just pretty flat, and occasionally the voice doesn't match the subtitles. I've even seen spelling errors in the subtitles (notably when you're first introduced to the Social District, the word "stream" you hear in the first poem is written as "steam"). Such a shame. when I first saw this advertised I had high hopes, but was sorely disappointed. Just, don't bother.

Walking simulator.

No puzzles, just walking back and forth in same areas. Too slow game.
