Recente recensies door ElectricToad

I don't really care enough to write reviews, but this game I found genuinely dissapointing. I saw it on sale for about $16 the day before it's release. I remember seing the E3 presentation of the game and thought "Hey, seems like it could be a nice mystery game with decent decision making that would effect the outcome along with some rather pleasent to listen to voice acting". So I had an interest in this title. But, did it fare to my expectations? Nope. Here's why.

Now I am going to avoid spoilers, because I respect that some will want to give this a shot themselves, but I strongly recommend waiting for a sale. Like $5.00 sale.

I'm going to start off with the pros, because despite my over-all disappointed there are some commendable attributes.

Pros:
+Voice acting - This is definitly the golden prize of the game. Interactions between Henry (Rich Sommer) and Delilah (Cissy Jones) are engaging and rather entertaining. It definilty does a good job and genuinely making you feel involved in the characters relationship.

+Soundtrack - The ambient acoustic guitar throughout the game never got tedious and kept me enthralled and quite relaxed.

+Art Style - A rather pretty lookng game, I definilty sense heavy inspiration of Team Fortress 2 especially in player model (A modded asset from Team Fortress 2). Environment is pretty to look at. But ultimately feels kind of lifeless.

+Story (Acts one and two) The sense of mystery surrounding the game specifically in the first two acts, definilty made a rather intense on-the-egde of your seat impact. It was what drove me to keep playing till the end. But, this is where I get into the cons.

Cons:
-Not enough depth - I thoroughly enjoyed the first 40 minutes of playing. I initially felt the game could've had a lot to offer in terms of exploration. I mean, look at the map when you first get into the lookout. It seams plentiful, like there'd be a lot to find and discover. But unfortunately there's northing really to keep from following the rather linear pathway to keep the story rolling. I didn't get the flashlight till near the end of the game and I pretty much didn't even need it.

-Lifeless - When you start off and come across an Elk and then a tree scratched to ♥♥♥♥ by a Grizzly, I thought "Huh, maybe there'll be an encounter with a Grizzly". Nope. Asside from the gran-total 3 npcs to come across, there is very little wildlife present in these woods. Even though the game warns of these encounters, they never occure. Ever.

-Length - Having finished the game in only 3 hours, I finally understand Angry Joes contempt for short ass titles, I've often avoided them because they aren't worth the asking price. I honesltly hoped this would've been a bit longer. 8 - 9 hours atleast.

-Illusion of choice - One thing the game did interestingly was the choices of dialogue between Henry and Delilah but ultimiately this was meaningless and has little impact on end-game. Even the text based intro makes no difference whatsoever except for a naked sketch of you depending on how you choose pose. That's it.

-Ending sucked - A game presented like this, at least could've had multiple endings.... There's only two and they're both exactly the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ same.

All in all, I give this game a 4 out of 10. It's not really worth $20, if on sale for like $5:00 and you enjoy dialogue heavy games then maybe give it a shot. But for the most part, it's pretty "meh".

Very fun and enjoyable game. Great fun for the whole family.

Buy this game because my opinion matters.

Awesome game.

it's good because you can do whatever the ♥♥♥♥ you want
