With a bigger budget - and grander ideas about humanity - maybe I Am Alive could have been more than an effective proof-of-concept.

bestowing myself the honor of writing the first review for this game on here and i just want to say one thing: this game was the blueprint for what the last of us: part 2 tried to depict. everything this game sets out to do, it fails miserably, but you can't play this game without getting the strongest feeling that this game desperately wanted to be more.

i salute you, ubisoft shanghai. you did this when no one else could

It has some great ideas, but some of them are poorly executed.
