Stylish, relaxing quest with big story
(Played only 1+2 part) Journey Down is point-click quest. Of course it is. But it not about pixel hunting, mind bending puzzles and "what-the-hell-i-should-do" feeling. Its about story, atmosphere and relaxing gameplay with good music and (maybe) glass of wine. So, whats its all about? You play, mainly, as naturally relaxed "rasta" mechanic (and kind-of-pilot) Bwana at small gas station on edge of big town. Business is so-so, your dad is missing for long time but you still have your bro Kito, bunch of friends around so just "relax, man". And its all gone once you meet youn girl lina searching for your father book. With her gangsters get on your tail, you have to fix you old rusty plane and get out of town just to... ...find yourself in even more dangerous and unwelcome place with even more problems and peoples chasing after you. Now, let me give some opinions. Pro: Good atmosphere, really good jazz soundtrack (i mean it!), impressive big story, a lot of memorable characters, relaxed gameplay with rare puzzles just to spice gameplay a little, no crazy illogical situation impossible to solve without going mad. Good chunk of gameplay overall, at least several hours first part, twice of that in second. Absolutely no "fail" paths or time based puzzles. Con: Much advertised "real African masks faces" is actually scarce - most characters is just usual. That makes a weird mix. A lot of game universe facts makes really big "WTF?", like constant mentionin of Edge, Mist, Hungries, Eels and so on. Where Underland actually exists, how one can sail in waterless mist? While games gradually answer some question its makes even more of them at same time. Anyway, i highly recommend it for anyone who want to play good ol' quest but dont want to bash his head at wall or search internet for tips. Relax, man.
