David’s 30 Platinum Trophies Before Turning 30
1/30
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: As close to perfection as one can get.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5: Excellence incarnate.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Amazing experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5: Good game.
⭐️⭐️⭐️: Fun enough to be worth your time.
⭐️⭐️.5: Missed the mark in a considerable amount of elements.
⭐️⭐️: A trudge towards progress/completion.
⭐️.5: A great deal of regrets playing this.
⭐️: Truly disappointing.
.5: Kudos to anyone with a shred of bother.
The above rating descriptions pertain strictly to the overall rating after taking into consideration the elements below, for which I’ll still employ a five-point rating to get an average afterwards.
Graphics: 4 - An immersible environment worthy of continued exploration (as the game would also like you to do) filled with characters that can border close to the uncanny valley. But for a developer this size, there should be much appreciation for their commitment towards high-end character graphics.
Gameplay: 3.5 - Running and talking (until you get to a point in the game that introduces a new mechanic, unless you chose a decision very early on that allows you to perform said mechanic in a different way) for the most part, but made interesting by the main plot device.
Audio: 3 - It has what I think Greek and/or Roman antiquity sounds like in all their cliched and pompous glory.
Replay Value: 5 - Though the game presents four main endings, the multiple ways to get there is as curious as it is fun (or frustrating after the nth time trying to figure it out on your own).
Story: 5 - With a philosophical inquiry as its main anchor, branching discussions on choice, morality, religion, and existence (among other things) considerably augment the game’s gameplay and replay value.
Overall: 4.1 - Not too forgettable, in my experience.
