This game is such a roller coaster of emotions. Some of the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen in a video game. Genuinely awesome soundtrack (both the licensed music and original material).
There were moments when it was frustrating and boring, and the storytelling can sometimes be way to literal and explanation based.
But I truly did love the story underneath, as it was one of hope and the importance of connection to get through rough times. Some subjects hit real close to home for me, and at times it can get quite depressing, but this strong sense of hope and helping each other is always there to lift you back up.
Again, some game mechanics and cut scenes really didn't work for me, but other parts of the game will be forever in my mind.
I'm rating it a 7.5<->10.5 out of 10. I've decided conventional scales don't cut it for games like this.
I would love to know your opinions if you want to share them!
I think 3 hours in I had only "played" for about 30 minutes, and to me, most of the story at that point was just trying to be as ridiculous and disturbing as it possibly could. Most of the gameplay was just avoiding falling cause dude doesn't know how to walk. I had to go do something else at that point so I quit and never ended up coming back to it.
Maybe if I hadn't gotten it free I might have given it more of a chance, but I definitely wasn't a fan.
Same experience. Walked up a hill with a body. Couldn't get back down without dying. Gave up.
