These sorts of first-person adventure games don't normally impress me, but I feel the need to spread the good word of Broken Reality. It's a delightfully weird homage to ye olde internet during the 2000s and early 2010s, and you can feel in particular areas that the small dev team do legitimately miss it. I realise it's just nostalgia informing me, but I do too. As well as that melancholic undercurrent in some areas that I always love, the art style was pretty tremendous. It can be way too much sometimes and can hurt your eyes, but I think that's part of this game's charm. I thought most of the puzzling was very straightforward and easy, dialogue writing was mediocre and the overarching plot was obtuse and didn't have much development, so Broken Reality is just for people who want to see the weirdness on display.
This game's pacing is sooooo slow. Which sucks because I loved the demo. The first two levels are great, if a little sluggish. But once you get to the water level it just drags on with nothing interesting. I couldn't finish it after that since it felt like a waste of time trying to find the next thing the game wanted me to do while wandering the vast environment at a snails pace. Rating this mid since there's nothing outstandingly bad about this game, but not really worth going through.
