This is a narrative/walk forward point and click adventure in the style of telltale, done better than telltale. For one, the engine actually works. The story revolves around a mystery, but really it's about the power the main character gains- rewinding time. Which is just perfect for a decision-based game, allowing you to do go back and see the results of various choices without hassle. It's even episodic like Telltale games, and the structure is correct- every episode is stronger than the last, exploring the lead's powers farther, concluding with a fantastic finale. Even if you have beef with teenage dialogue in games- and you will in this one; it is fundamentally impossible to determine whether the main character is realistically awkward or a 40 year old's poor attempt at youth slang- the characters are relatable and the situations powerful. At its heart there is little to no gameplay, but the short story is worth it. A must-play. This ranking does not include season 2, which I have not played. Apparently the power is just telekinesis/blowing things up, which completely misses the point. --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
