Cheap Deaths: The Game
Originally released in 1991, Another World was developed by a single person and was very ahead of it’s time. It achieved a cinematic style by creating seamless transitions between gameplay and cutscenes using in-game polygonal models and by removing all user interface. There is no HUD at all. Also, the game features events where the gameplay completely shifts from the basic controls and unique actions have to be performed, sort of pioneering the contextual action mechanic. Another World is also a game about dying and retrying. A lot. Most of it's challenges could be described as puzzles - not the kind of puzzle you figure out as much as the kind you interact with in every possible way until you stumble into a solution. Failing to figure out the solution will often mean death. Dying means restarting in an earlier checkpoint, having to redo a set of things before reaching the spot where you died. The player will often have a split second to perform the single right action to solve a puzzle before getting blasted by a laser or killed in some way. For the stereotypical modern gamer who rage quits over “unfair” deaths, enjoying Another World is probably impossible. Combat is a highlight of the gameplay. Gun mechanics are elegant and simple. Press the action button once to shoot, hold it a little to generate a shield, hold it longer to generate a powerful shot that can destroy enemy shields or break down some walls and doors. The bottom line is this game is very easy to praise, but very hard to recommend. It pioneered several ideas that would prove to be extremely influential, but it’s difficult to appreciate them because the game is so damn frustrating. If you love videogames as a medium and want to delve into their history, Another World is a must play. The ending cinematic sequence is seriously something to behold - when you finally manage to pull it off. If you just want to have to have fun with a cool video game, you might wanna play something else instead.
