      I finished the game in one sitting. It for sure is more of an experience than game (not much challenge). But worth the time, nice story, and well crafted. Nothing ground breaking but a good game/experience. And this is why I love gaming it is diverse from memorable experiences like this through games with more gameplay to the games where gameplay is the king.
      Keep enjoying gaming and have a nice time gaming!

    2 long awaited indie games, 2 extremely positive reviews in a day - good to hear! Not really into the whole rock / glam thing, so i'm not sure if this will be my jam. Looks very pretty though, and i'm all for simpler, shorter, more finely crafted and focused, and therefore more memorable gaming experiences over samey open world bloat and complicated systems.

    • @tonibojones
      @tonibojones Před 2 lety +1

      I wasn't into rock glam things too, but this game easily captured my heart and might as well be my fav indie game out there. I always questioned the statement - video games are a form of art, but this one definitely fits in. It truly is was a wild experience.

    I'm kinda disappointed with the game personally. It looks and sounds amazing, it's just that for me, it's really lacking in the game aspect and there's just way too much "story". Like, I don't need to be reminded every few second that the hero is trying to find himself.... I'm just bored while playing it. I don't mind visual novels and I don't mind easy games, so I expected to like this game. But I guess the fairly long scenes where the hero is pontificating on his life's direction are just a real mood killer for me.
    Actually, the amount of text to read is a complaint I've had with a few games, like Jussant for instance (but at least with Jussant, the reading is completely optional, and the cutscenes are brief). I feel like some development teams should consider hiring a copy editor to really trim the fat off the copy.

    I loved every minute of this game. One thing I really liked is the fact that Carl Weathers played Lightman. I've been a huge fan since Rocky and Predator is in my Top 3 favorites of all time. I also try to support everything he does these days after how he was treated by Lucasfilms and Star Wars; the official Star Wars Twitter wishes each cast member of any of the films/TV shows a Happy Birthday on their B-day...but they always snubbed James Earl Jones and now they snub Weathers... just because both men are conservative. Not very inclusive or diverse if you ask me. Which brings me back to the game- it's equally diverse and inclusive but it's done naturally, no agenda and no lectures. No characters that blame all the wrongs in the universe on straight White dudes, no females that need to crap on men to build themselves up, none of that nonsense.
    Like most people have already said the game is more like an adventure than an actual game but there's still skill involved... you just have plenty of do-overs if you mess up so it's a chill experience. The graphics are breathtakingly gorgeous, I remember yelling for my wife (who's a non-gamer) to come check out the beautiful scenery several times during my playthrough and even she was impressed.
    So yeah it's definitely worth a play. I admit I avoided the game at launch for fear it was made by radical activist-types that only care about pushing their own tired ideology and lecturing the players instead of caring about content or storyline.

    The story was the big draw. If you looking for a gamey game probably not for you if you like a easy chill stroy game to play on a Sunday afternoon it's a "do not miss" game.

    Does the game revolve around the banal music? Can I turn off the music in game and still find the story and gameplay enjoyable? The game looks interesting but the soundtrack is a deal breaker for me.

    This sounds like yet another game designer who didn't want to admit that "video game" isn't actually the type of art they were interested in making. With such extremely limited player agency, why the hell wasn't this a film short instead of a game?

    • @katanalevygames
      @katanalevygames Před 2 lety +11

      A film couldn't have dialogue choices, character clothing customisation, platforming or interactive music sections. They absolutely picked the right medium for the experience they wanted to create. I think what you meant to say is that they didn't make the type of video game that you are interested in playing.

      The interactivity *makes* this experience, and it would be sub-par as a film short. You're just too stupid to understand that interactive experience is as valid of a genre as whatever trash you've reduced the whole medium to.
      I hope this was bait or that you haven't hit high school yet.

      You sound like you're deciding for the artist as to why they made their art into a game rather than a film based on your own experience of it. Its unlikely the artist was forced at gun point to make this and be sold as an indie game. Because an indie game is literally a game made with their independence and creative freedom.
