Genesis Noir - A Review
Genesis Noir’s power and strength lies in the visual and conceptual design. It’s also been paired with a lovely sound design. I’d assume that those who like jazz would consider it a positive here.
This game demands focus in understanding what it expects out of its players. I look at this as both a positive and negative, if you’ve played this, you might understand what I mean by that statement.
The ending is quite fascinating and certainly unexpected. There’s not a lot of ‘play’ here, it’s more along the lines of following a visual narrative. You’re exposed to a few moments that require strategic thinking but I think it was the most evident in the section ‘Improvisations’, that was interesting to explore.
I‘ve developed a love for visually pleasing games and so Genesis Noir ranks a bit higher for me with that regard. If you’re someone who enjoys visual narratives that doesn't exactly offer intensive and demanding game play, you’d enjoy this game. It’s absolutely stunning. If not, then reconsider.
Overall, I’m not too fascinated by the game itself but visually it was quite an experience. Would I consider playing this game again? Perhaps, but only for the sake of re-experiencing its beauty and sound design.
