More Good Than Bad

I started out really not liking the main character of Izzy. She just got on my nerves being an idealistic idiot who criticizes people for things she does herself. There were no dialogue options available that made her more likeable to me. This started to change a little as the game went on and by the last chapter I’d say I had really made her into something I could be happy with. The last few missions of the game was simply fantastic from a story standpoint including some great twists. That is despite me not liking any of the endings very much. I will also say some of the politics of the story seem forced and shoehorned in to make it seem relevant to real world issues without seeming genuine in the game world. Luckily the game play was pretty decent which made me ride out the early issues I had to make it through and see the game mature and grow. There were a lot of goods characters and the game blended humour and drama well. It also had a great cyberpunk type of atmosphere as well as having some good lore built up for the city and it’s history. There is a good amount of variety to the game in terms of mechanics. You have to use drones; bots; hack cameras; all in order to navigate levels and achieve various goals. You also have to know how and when to use pieces of evidence in order to advance conversations and gather more clues. This part was hit and miss as I found some times it felt like the answer was logical and others it felt like trying everything until you found the right combo of items or dialogue regardless of whether it made sense. You also have to figure out navigating vents as well as avoid people or make them go where you need them to in order to access things they were guarding. The game play was pretty intuitive and while simple to figure out there were some decently complex puzzles to solve. One mechanic I didn’t like was the passwords. The first few were straightforward but after that it seemed to become more and more of a chore.

Loved it, but has problems

I really like this game but it has some issues, a few logic leaps, and some bad english/typos in some places. It is a short game, but was actually longer than I thought, and has multiple endings. That said having to redo stuff is going to be slow/slower without a proper save system, though you do get a chapter select which helps with collectibles. A lot of the hacking stuff doesn't *really* make sense either, but that's fine. Some time waiting wasting and stuff, and repeating sequences is *really* annoying if you didn't do something right the first time (and some pictures are small enough that you can easily miss if you have a problems with that sort of thing.) Music drops out sometimes, and some alerts don't clear properly. I can understand why people don't like the ending but I think the [spoilers] in one ending is interesting considering it can be interpreted two ways. Some of the stuff in world doesn't make much sense. The worst bit is probably some of the design; you can loop some annoying sounds on some places accidentally, and some placement of stuff is unknowable until you hit it and get annoying sound effect. There's also a *really* pointless pronoun piece in the game. I kept waiting for it to come into play and it never does, it's literally just a useless data point, which is annoying. All that said I loved the game. Like the art, loved the story for the most part. Music is servicable, and has a few *REALLY* good moments.

Play this game, now.

You don't understand. There isn't another game like this. You'll be on the edge of your seat, leaning close to your monitor, you'll be seriously emotionally invested. The game is FUN. I finished it in two days, and it feels more like I was a part of a seriously fucked up interactive 3 hour AAA Hollywood film where my actions had consequences - not silly video game consequences, REAL consequences. You will love this game. Seriously.

Song of Farca

My first completed game in 2024 is Song of Farca, an investigation game in a believable cyberpunk setting. You play as a private investigator under home arrest, so you need to rely fully on you hacking and deducing skills, with no direct access to the scenes you are investigating. Political comment is obviously to be expected: this is cyberpunk, not neon-capitalism. I was not expecting to complete a game that early this year (I struggle to find time to play, and seldom play more than 2~3 games through completion every year), so this is a real nice surprise. It even left me wanting for more cyberpunk investigation. As usual with games I recommend, there is a legit DRM-free build available. Don’t send your money to Steam. — https://www.alawar.com/en/games/song-of-farca/

Quite a ride

In Song of Farce you play a private investigator under house arrest who consequently has to solve cases using cameras and drones at remote sitse respectively phone calls. Gameplay wise it’s a collection of mini-games, light puzzles and dialog driven adventure. What makes it stand out from other, technically similar games is the story and the characters. The action unfolds on a small city state island where your cases make you meet pop stars, rich heirs, underground kingpins, the local police and others. They all have in common (including yourself) to have “gray” personalities with good parts and bad parts that make them suitable both as enemies and allies. And actually the story throws several of them into both position depending on the case and your decisions. So prepare yourself for having to make some morally ambiguous decisions. And while there are multiple endings, don’t expect one where it's all rainbows, glitter and ponies. On the negative side, I had a few occasions where I had to restart a room because the game died not register me picking up an essential item. In total, I lost less than 20 minutes because of this. Some of the numeric code puzzles were to silly for me, so I just looked them up online. And I figured out only very late in the game how to collect collectibles, which I didn’t really care about anyway. But this are minor issues compared to my overall enjoyment of the game, so consider this review a 4.7 instead of 5.0.
