I don't really know how to talk about Beacon Pines and the things it does so well in a way that truly emphasizes how great and well made those things are. It's not doing anything THAT unique. It's just doing it all at such a high degree of skill and polish that it's a wonderful experience from start to finish.

The art style is gorgeous, the writing and humor are top notch, the music is incredibly complimentary, the narrator is on top of her game in projecting the perfect emotion for the situation.

It's not going to blow you away from the game play department, this is a narrative experience for the most part, so don't play this if you get bored easily from walking and talking and exploring but if you are into that type of thing, Beacon Pines is a multi-layered narrative heavy game that is absolutely worth your time.
