Has anyone else played this one?
I’ve played through the first four episodes this week while I’m on vacation, and I don’t think the writing in a game has punched me in the gut to this extent since Bioshock or Dragon Age: Origins. (Though Detroit: Become Human is a close equivalent.)
I’m just blown away by the writing.
I played the original. It’s a good game. Incredibly interesting story. Lots of emotions, characters well thought out. I’m just terrible at finishing any game, so I never got far.
Oh man, you mean you didn’t get to the twist! That game takes an insanely dark turn.
I first played the original up to a critical point where failing leads to a certain character’s death. I KNEW the right response but mis-clicked and had the outcome I was trying to avoid. I put the game down for months and didn’t come back to it until after a big break-up. I played again from the start, got the good outcome for that conversation, then was an emotional wreck after beating the game. I’ve got fanart of Max on the wall right next to me because that was one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.
Still haven’t finished Before the Storm though. I get a little sad any time Chloe talks and it’s not Ashly Burch’s voice.
First one really was peak. I like them all though
I didn’t like how they replaced the “snap a quick pic” mechanic with a “sit down and pres a button over and over again to draw a scene” aspect of the second one, but the stories have all been good.
The twist in the first game where
Tap for spoiler
your favorite teacher teacher turned out to have a torture/rape dungeon
was insane though. Definitely threw me through a loop.
Totally agree. The first game mechanics were best.
