Not perfect; not what the disinfo claims
It took me a week and 24 hours of playtime to finish the entire adventure. I suppose I'll start by thanking the whiny outrage tourists who made me aware of the game to begin with. Their inane brigading of the Steam forums led to a news article that in turn made me realize that Red Thread Games had something new out that I'd completely missed. Tried the demo and enjoyed it enough that I prioritized buying and playing the full game on Steam back in late August. Between the rhythm game aspects, the combat, and the overall adventure game format, Dustborn tries to do a bit much. It does a great job with the most important part (adventure game), while doing passably well with the combat and thoroughly enjoyable rhythm game sections despite a disappointingly short list of tunes the band can perform. Story and choices: - Starts out immediately after a heist in Pacifica that went somewhat sideways - The crew has just stolen some data from The Purists and have to escape to Nova Scotia - Essentially a road trip game, with the crew touring the Republic as a cover for their journey - Plays around with your expectations pretty well when it comes to dialogue and choices - There's a time for quick reactions, but more importantly a time (or many) for patience Characters: - Core characters are all pretty funny and interesting - Characters from the first half of the story drift into one of three archetypes depending on how you treat them Visuals: - Strong, comic book-inspired and colorful visuals - More Telltale's The Walking Dead than Dreamfall Chapters, but cleaner Combat: - Grew on me - You can choose how much of it you want, and how difficult - Involves upgrading a high-tech baseball bat Music/Rhythm: - The sing-along and songwriting sections were relaxed and cozy. - Concerts and rehearsals could be a bit stressful, but I got good soon enough - Background music by Simon Poole set the mood well - That one Charlotte Heatherley song... if you know what I mean
