Tacoma

I really enjoyed this game. You are arrives in the abandoned space station and then you get the story piece by piece from AR recording or just from objects around. This is like reading a book but different, because it provide you different tools to get the story. Some may not like the games like this (interactive movie or walking simulator), but the game has the quality, e.g. the script with a lot of details and a lot of minor things to look at (e.g. how do they grow tomatoes in space station or how the AR input control works, the architecture of space station, etc). It feels like a lot of efforts were put into making environment for player and it up to the person if this would resonate to him or her.

Well-planned, detailed VR-like experience. True, there is no overall plotline to write home about, but you pick up bits and pieces as you perform your mission to a recently abandoned space station. Very modern, sort of a first-person space opera (is there such a thing?) Could have been longer, but GOG had it on sale (so who's complaining?) Female 1st person lead - I sometimes think this affects male reviewers - and there are times on the station where you will have to figure out how to move around without gravity. 5 stars for overall production.

Finished the game in 3h. Had fun, liked the story, sounds and voice acting. Loved little sci-fi quirks (like idea for interafaces, or recordings). Graphic is quite good. Level design and art is great: believable, natural, sometimes humorous. Sadly theres not much 'game' in here - its just short, nice story you 'consume' with WSAD and mouse.

First of all, this game is a delightful experience. Fantastic storytelling and atmosphere. As someone who gets bored within a half hour, with ~9 out of 10 videogames I play these days, I have found Tacoma geniunely enjoyable throughout. As an aside, a great big thanks t Fullbright for a perfectly functional GNU/Linux port, and for demonstrating, in undeniable terms, that it is indeed possible to create a Unity game that works on more than one single distribution. Also for rebindable controls, which is a big deal for us lefties. I wonder if Mr. Ryan Gordon was involved here? At any rate, I recommend this to anyone who enjoys story driven, atmospheric, or space themed adventure games.

Great story, great voice acting. There were two other features I liked. It is not too long (I hate games that overstay their welcome), and I could explore as if I was really there which increased my immersion. Also nothing got in the way of that experience: no deaths and reloading, no puzzles that got me stuck. It was just a really enjoyable time exploring a space station and connecting the dots in the story. Don't play it expecting terror, violence, guns, danger, brain-bending puzzles, or you'll be disappointed. But if you want to explore a place and piece together a story then you'll really enjoy this. Excellent stuff. My only minor issue is that some bits of the interface were confusing (some emails had attachments I couldn't open; some things seemed to be audiologs I couldn't play; other parts were locked or corrupted and I assumed I had to do something to unlock them). I _think_ it turns out none of those things are as I thought, and they aren't in the game. It was just my UI expectations being thrown a bit.
