Um, what happened there again? ^^ It was about kids and a tree house? Um, I actually thought it was cool back then but I hardly remember it, but it was an ok narrative game ;)
The movement is sluggish but at one point, I found myself choking on tears so, yeah, it was good. Always love me some good games with good stories.
Blackwood Crossing (2017): Si haces un walking simulator, con un ritmo pésimo y un control horrible, lo toleraré si la historia que cuentas es interesante, pero dar un golpe de efecto final que viene de ninguna parte es de todo menos una buena narrativa. Tremenda castaña (3,20)
Não tenho nada contra walking simulators, mas quando o personagem anda na velocidade de uma lesma, aí é complicado. No mais, a história é bem interessante, retratando o luto e a perda de uma forma bem artística.
A pretty by-the-numbers grief simulator with movement that feels like you are playing with drunk goggles on.
Loss of loved ones is the theme of half of these walking simulator adventure games, though I suppose siblings are rarer than some other relatives. The story is about dealing with bereavement and guilt, and moving forward, as you'd expect from this type of games. It was unfortunately released in the same month as What Remains of Edith Finch, the anthology of deceased love ones, and easily outshone in presentation. It does win the prize of the slowest moving speed in a first-person game ever. Combined with head bobbing that cannot be turned off, this game can easily knock you onto your bed if you underestimate it.
