axri rated Cold Front

axri rated a game 1 year ago
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

First time writing a review, I created my account just for this. 

I'm... in tears, like I'm literally crying, I just finished this game and it DEFINITELY gets five stars from me. This is the first game I've played from rachel and I plan on playing others such as 'deadplate'.

It's just two friends finding their way through, can't share anymore cause I wan't to be be able to write a spoiler-free review because I swear it's so much better to play games and experience it yourself before knowing beforehand.

I love you rachel please don't go bald LOL

In my experience, 
Pros: 
- Amazing storyline, it's well-made I can guarantee you!
- Heartfelt so hard, explores themes that I find quite many people do experience and can relate to.
- Art is absolutely amazing, truly in love with this style HAHSBHD^^ (Of course, all art is pretty but still, I find myself so drawn to this omg)
- It's a short game with barely any complicated puzzles, you won't have to work your head or anything. I literally just sat down after assignments all drained and could breeze through, and yet despite it being short it still managed to have it's own great elements and such.

Cons:
So far, there are only two. After playing the game, I briefly browsed through a few things and found that it was normal for rachel to foreshadow a ton but for me it made it too easy to keep up </3

- TONS of foreshadowing: In the pros, I said that you don't need to think or anything and you literally really do. I knew the entire thing already just through Winnie and Augustine's dialogue in the first half; I practically played it already without playing it.

I find that too much foreshadowing isn't exactly my cup of tea, it might be somebody else's though! But that's just the only problem, and is a completely minor thing.

- The controls: I had a few problems, maybe it's cause I use MacOS but it would glitch and when the (basically this one scene which I can't say but there were obstacles iykyk) and basically, the personification of their underlying problem would move too fast or glitch side by side; making it hard to actually get to the end and complete it, I tried at least 20 times before I got to the next part.

Other than the two cons above, everything was just really good.
Keep up the good work!! :))
