Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition

After years in development, the final act will be released this month. It's been a great game and am happy it'll finally be compete.

KR0 is kind of a weird "Game" it's not really an adventure game per se , you won't need to solve many puzzles, it's more of an interactive story, it branches some but seems to follow a general inevitable course. The writing is good, descriptive and can feel like going through a visual book. It is however very weird with a lot of fragments of things that really have no impact on "the main story" but do add flavor to the minor characters you pass by in the story. overall it's not bad , and can be quite captivating , however i will reserve a higher score until it's finished. The last act has yet to be released and in it's current state i see no reason to play the game. Depending on how it ends could definitely change my opinion of the game. Overall though if you like "games" like Dear Esther and Gone Home and you like movies like "waking life" ( a collection of conversations, often random but orbiting a central plot) then KR0 is probably right up your alley and worth a read.

... that lacks beauty both in scenery and story. instead of telling a plot, which players can relate to in any way, KRZ constantly bores you with strange conversations and lore-dumps. if the story is neither touching nor interesting, why even bother? the surroundings are almost always grey, dull and too industrial for my taste. I never found myself thinking „man, I'd like to be there!“. the world of KRZ is not an inviting one. it's not pleasant, yet it's not depressing either, it's just sort of there - as boring and as non-magical (in a romantic way) as possible. the characters, conversations and scenery are non-sensical and weird, just for the sake of being weird. if you can't relate to the characters, don't like them and don't find what they're saying or doing interesting, why waste any time on them? at some points KRZ shows a sudden glimpse of beauty, like the scene with Conway and Lysette at the breakfast table, or the other scene in the bar, during which the player can choose the lyrics of the song that is being sung. not only are those moments super rare, they're also over in a hearbeat and the game returns to its usual boring, dull self. I've bought KRZ the same day it was released, but initially I had decided not to play it, until the 5 episodes are available. but after almost 7 years of waiting I've finally had enough and started my first, and most likely only, playthrough two days ago. tbh I'm not even sure if I will bother to play the last episode, if/when it gets released - to me, this game was a waste of time. speaking of time: I've left this game running in the background for a total of 3 hours. sometimes I had to take breaks, this game was literally draining the power from my body. KRZ only saves your progress after scene changes - some of those scenes are way too long and usually it's these long ones, that like to bombard you with endless walls of text, which are often times just confusing and annoying to read.

Tired of monotonous shooters and fakes? an amazing adventure in a surreal world inspired by twin peaks and Interstate 60

This game changed my life, thanks to the creators!
