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!
well I genuinely LOVED the game, particularly the delivery part of it. I recognise how bold it is to take everything that’s usually considered “boring” in a game (long walks, limited inventory management, delivery items side quests…) and make it the core of the experience. I think towards the end it’s a bit rushed in terms of explanations and characters motives, but the world and the atmosphere have so much heart that if you take the time to actually enjoy the game it’s gonna be a hell of an experience p.s. also motion capture of established actors helped a lot, particularly Sam… looks like Norman Reedus was born for this role since the Walking Dead, so well casted
I agree that Sam's movements were extremely detailed and realistic. It really helped flesh out the world and connection with the player.
