Blade Runner

pllease completr next game.. Would be interested in testing

The mechanics of randomized assignment of the replicant identities and corresponding story branching is a unique feature of this game. But if you don't know about it, you won't understand that from the game. I did not watch the original movie, neither I played this game before. Because of this attempt to introduce many variations to the story, when you play, the story of the game just doesn't make sense. It is disjointed and definitely relies on previous knowledge of the original movie. The gameplay is clunky and dated. You have to pixel hunt for tiny specks that are barely visible on the screen, get killed by cops that aren't even visible on the screen, walk around the areas in circles looking for any new dialogues or events. I also got stuck due to a bug and had to restart from the beginning. The style of the game is beautiful, but the wish to show off the city and limitations of technology of that time made the gameplay suffer. You often walk through huge rooms devoid of any interactivity because they may become active in some other story branches. The view is often zoomed out, so you look at tiny characters running in the distance while moving your mouse around in search of active spots. The smoothing filter that the Enhanced edition applies on top makes the game look blurry, all the fine textures and details are lost. If you play, switch it off!

I decided to switch to English. Least important first: Graphics is not that exciting, even worse on a big screen. But what I really like is the close linkage to the (1st) Blade Runner movie. There are some nice references to the movie scattered in the gameplay.

Was so advanced when it came out, but got a great retro feel now. Well worth a relaxed play.

Amazing game! I'm not surprised why it is so high on the 'all-time' ranks. Precursor of games like Detroit, Heavy Rain etc. Masterpice of its time!
