Though the fall might only be the first chapter of a larger story, it feels complete and well executed in itself. Gorgeous graphics excellent mechanics and a genuinely compelling plot make for one of the best side-scrolling space-adventures since The Swapper to which comparisons will undoubtedly be drawn. Like that game the real-life consequences of abstract philosophical concepts drive the narrative, but with The Fall those abstract ideas never get in the way of good game-play. Excellent game and worth the asking price. I cannot wait to lay the next installment.
