Underrated

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.

Short SF novel.

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.

Perfectly functional on non-Ubuntu.

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.

I really enjoyed it

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.

Narrative Exploration at its greatest

Tacoma, the follow-up game by Fullbright, the maker's of Gone Home, is a short sci-fi novella that pushes the genre of narrative exploration games and its standard to new heights. In Tacoma you are a freelance contractor send to the space station Tacoma to retrieve its AI core, all the while learning about what happened to its crew and how they faced a life-threatening catastrophe and its true cause. The game's main mechanic allows to see past conversations being played out in front of you in real time through an augmented reality system that records everything on the station. It enables you to see how conversations unfold, rewind them to find hints and follow it where it branches off for more information. It is a simple yet brilliant mechanic that immerses you into the plot and lets you see both its intimate characertisations of the diverse cast as well as hint at its grander themes of world building, such as the costs of privatising the exploration of space or what ethical problems arise with the treatment of AIs once they reach sentience. All this thrives due to the excellent, smart and subtle writing as well as the even more brilliant performances of its actors. The latter cannot be stressed enough when acting in video games too often is fraught with stereotypes and shallow ideas. The only short coming of Tacoma is that its final story arch is a bit rushed and falls short on developing the tremendous tension that Gone Home had for example. However, what Tacoma ultimately left me with was a wish to be able to spend more time in its world and the belief that video games can actually develop true literary value!
