Unique and engaging, but..
Was struggling for a bit whether this deserves 3 or 4 starts and still can't really decide. The game itself presents a very original idea and I remember it was rather hyped back on release and captured my curiosity (yes, took me some time to actually get around to it). So this is one of the games which are heavily story-driven and there's not much besides that, with a nice twist - basically you're searching through database of videos and have to piece together the whole story which I would not spoil. I found the full (or at least the ~65% of story I've discovered) to be rather unique, engaging and interesting. The nice twist is that you have to really listen and catch glimpsed of information to know what to look for next. It's can actually be fun for a while if you're into this detective work kind of thing, which not many games incorporate. It's not insanely hard but also not extremely easy and the game doesn't hold your hand, you have to figure out everything by yourself. The clips themselves are relatively short, can be 10-20 seconds to ~2 minutes top, which also make the game easy to digest in multiple sittings and friendly for short sessions if that's your kind of thing. Not that it's especially long, there's a content of around ~2 hours in total here. And not that it should be longer, as I have personally found myself getting a bit tired after spending some time with this. It does get repetitive, but I think that I'm personally enjoying more of structured experiences in video games, while here you have basically you investigating a story for your own pure satisfaction, it's not really clear when's the end (although there is an ending point an credits rolling, eventually), there are not really any stages or guildeline in-game, you just get in and look for videos and get an option to say "I'm done" when around halfway through the database. Anyway, it's worth a try for story hogs if you're one, even a decade after release.
Hilft dir das weiter?
