Conventionally, video games do very little to utilize their medium to the fullest to convey their thems and stories, if they even have one at all. 1000xResist is one of an elite class that takes full advantage of the fact that it is a game to weave an intricate tapestry of narrative in a way that is both engaging and not too heady as to completely lose itself in its own ponderings. While its themes are nothing that haven't been tapped before, the way in which they are conveyed thru the characters, world, and gameplay are astounding. And while the game wears its influences on its sleeve, it does so much to separate it from its peers to carve out its own identity and not only stand among them, but even stand above them. A true triumph of the medium that definitely shouldn't be missed for anyone that claims to have an appreciation for incredible and engrossing storytelling.
