Good but misleading
Based on the trailer videos and screenshots, it was a sure buy. Great art, great story, fully voiced, and exploring an exotic alien planet with a robot companion, leading to a giant mysterious monolith? What could go wrong? At first, nothing. For a while, you get what was promised - until you get to the monolith. Now that I finished the game, I realize what we see in the trailers is just misleading bait to make you buy it. Up to that point, they had a perfectly good story and game experience. Such a waste. The featured review here admits not having finished the game, and perhaps that explains why it was so positive. No spoilers here, so I will just say this game is definitely worth 5 stars up to the point where we reach the monolith, which I think it’s 70% of the game. The really disappointing part is this last 30%, where the game departs from what you see in the trailer videos. Hence the feeling of being misled, since this is how the story continues to the end. I don’t regret playing because it was good for a while, but I feel misled. Some may argue that this is a mature adult story, but even that part went over my head. Her intentions are good, but she does nothing to mitigate the actions that led to it. Instead, she just “thinks about it”, and regrets her decisions when it’s already too late. That’s why some other reviews said it becomes a slog to play it because it’s pointless. That’s all this game becomes from this point on - tons of pointless reflections over how much she regrets her life decisions, all the way to the end of the game. In a nutshell, it’s a collection of sorrow and regrets about what she did with her life. This is what the devs wanted this game to convey, but that’s not what the marketing sells to us. Forget the “monolith”. This game should be titled “Sorrows and Regrets”. If you don’t mind that, buy the game.
