Tone is off

You start with two characters. Mac and his Daugther*. They dissover a huge oil rig in middle of the night in a storm**. They discover that it's a Cayne Corp. vessel which makes her repeatadly say: "I hope everything is ok." in a scared voice and with a foreshadowing tone. They go on board. Mac goes first and he seems causeous (seems sensible because: night + rough sea + Cayne). You can't progress further with him so it's her turn. She says again that she hopes that everything is alright. Passes by Mac to BALANCE ON A WET STEELBEAM OVER THE BLACK SEA WITHOUT HESITATION. Mac is concerned almost furious with her (mood: dangerous, irresponsible, we can't afford an accident) but she just shruggs it off. A little later she fixes a tube with duct tape and calls it "airtight" to which Mac responds: "another big word to make you sound smarter than me" to which she replies that she does not need to use big words. ...big words... like... airtight?! And finally the straw that broke the camals back (about 30min into game): She goes into the vessel (probably right after saying how she hopes that everythings ok) and discover a bloodied body with blood around it on ritualistic runes that looks like 120% like horrible murder. The two are shocked. Mac calls it and tells her to get back immediatly. But she plays it down like this: Yeah, maybe it's bad but maybe it's nothing... Anyways it doesn't really matter because moeny and it's just like one body so big deal. Nope, I'm out! *from starting the game I thought she must be the daugter. I rewatched the trailer and I was wrong, she's the wife... this makes the issue with tone even worse :( **the dialogue implied that it was a storm but it was more like a little rain with with some small to medium waves. definetily no picknick but.

My Mac...

All the characters have a story, character and purpose. Some passages a little slow and the movement of the characters a little stiff. The puzzles are not very complicated. The only thing that can stop you is not having found the right object. The story is gripping.

Great story, amazing voice acting

I loved everything about this game. The story, the art, the atmosphere and above all, the voice acting. It would still be a good game without voice acting, but it made me feel things more viscerally. Hearing the love, despair, trust, pain, fear and hope in the characters made it all the more real. The writing is excellent and I made sure to take my time to read the little atmospheric writing in the different rooms. It really helped sell the tone of the areas as well as how the characters felt about the things they witnessed. I read all logs and the different characters felt unique with a sense of individuality. I loved reading one character's log and then seeing them pop up by name in other peoples' logs. Wonderful breadcrumbs to follow if that's something you enjoy. This is an absolute recommendation from me. I am looking forward to what this team can do in the future.

A must-play sci-fi adventure

"You must watch for the parasites' presence... then act with accuracy and haste." When treasure hunters Charlie and Mac O'Bannon dock their salvage vessel to what looks like an abandoned oil rig, it seems like they have caught a break at last- but players of the first STASIS (2015) will share Mac's sentiment when the platform's name plaque comes into view: "Shit! It's a Cayne Corp rig..." Right enough, as they explore the place, bodies start piling up, increasingly few of them still having all of their parts. After the wildly imaginative Beautiful Desolation (2020), The Brotherhood have returned to a more conventional sci-fi horror setting, but that doesn't mean that the worldbuilding and narrative are any less dense and gripping. Like in BD, you get to explore the interconnected stories of several factions, further developing topics in the nexus of technology and religion. The titular concept of keeping human beings in storage remains in place, but seen through the lens of a culture that worships death about as much as Cayne does immortality. For all their differences, the atavistic tribe and the futuristic corporation are stunningly similar. An increasingly personal quest leads you through this exploration. Charlie and Mac are very well-rounded characters, and so is Moses, the AI powered toy bear of their dead daughter, Hope. Their dialogue feels very organic, plus the voice acting is outstanding. Gorgeous cinematic cutscenes make the characters come to life even more. Gameplay is the most streamlined in a The Brotherhood game yet. Gone is the tedious backtracking of BD, and mapping drones helpfully highlight POI in the environment. Puzzling is done in dedicated 2D screens, so no pixel hunting, but you still have to pay close attention to every detail- numbers, shapes, colours, little here is just decoration. Puzzles are varied and creative, but fair throughout. If you liked the first STASIS, or SOMA, or any good sci-fi adventure, this is a must-play.

Stasis gets a sequel that's even better

It has the unrelenting misery of the original, in a new setting, and my favorite thing - no more pixel-hunting. This time, there's a button that makes sure you don't overlook everything on screen that's clickable, which is hands down the best quality-of-life improvement of any adventure game.
