IMMORTALITY

I tried this game for about 5 minutes my first time, got frustrated by the match-cut controls and gave up. I came back to it months later, intrigued by the story. I'd watched a video essay on the game by then and wanted to experience exploring it myself. The controls were good once I gave them a chance. I played on Mouse & Keyboard and it felt very intuitive. The match-cut control mechanic took me a minute to get used to, but once I got the hang of it the game felt very much like "Her Story" (a game that I really loved). The acting performances are top tier in the game. It's easy to get immersed in the game, and the soundtrack is good. Definitely check the content warnings list beforehand if you're sensitive to anything particular, there's some heavy stuff in the game without any heads-up warnings once you're in the gameplay. I'm not 100% done with the game yet, I'm about 8,5 hours in. What a ride it's been, I'm glad I bought the game.

Don't read anything about it, just play it. Not for children, but excellent and thoughtful theme.

The theme, the movies and the acting seemed cool, but in my humble opinion the gameplay is not well designed, the way you discover new clips is random/flawed and unfun, that I cannot be bothered since it strips me of a real sense of investigation.

A big fan of Ar thur Fisc her's early works, I had always been curious about what had happened to Ambrosio, especially considering how publicized the movie had been. This restoration ef fort on display here is truly wonde rful, and, asid e from the f ilm, all the extra s are fascinat ing i n their own righ t (though I did not expect Fisc her to b e such misogynistic tyrant, quite a shock indeed !). Re winding and scrubbing through the film was quite a nost algic experience, and shows just how Passionate the team was. The Durick's I'm less enthused by. Never rea lly liked the guy, and what i s here only confir ms m y thoughts on the matter. Car l Greenw ood was a good man though, and does bring something out in the director. O verall, I can only recomm end you try it.

1. Some scenes probably deserve an NC-17. 2. Some scenes would be considered by certain members of the gaming community as blasphemous. If the above triggered any red flags for you, then you should probably take a pass on this. Because what the 'game' is REALLY about might bother you even more. Mini spoiler at the bottom. If you are just looking for a little fun, you should probably look elsewhere. * * * * * * * Mini spoiler: Let's just say it involves the supernatural. You've been warned.
