I was really trying my best not to quote the "Signs" too much, but this delivery and execution was superb! My second favorite game from you π
The story truly shines better with this game than with others. I loved "Poop Killer" trilogy for the campiness and oddly satisfying slow motion, but this is much different. First of all the visuals are spectacular. I fully understand this is a stylized game, which is why I am loving the esthetic and design of the environment. It is very simple, yet complex and unique. The music choice hits the right chords (pun intended) and makes the atmosphere super intense, especially during a corn field sequence.
Now, I won't go into detail about the story, because that would spoil the surprise and the twist in the end, although I should say after recording my playthrough and kind of editing the video, I thought about it and came to the opinion that it did not land well for me. The game is truly brilliant, 5 stars and all, yet the ending kind of was anticlimactic. I guess maybe due to time constrictions or development issues it was not thought out the way you wanted it to be, but definitely other games have better endings, while "We Are Not Alone" has the best story.
In conclusion, this left me very pleased. I mention in the video, that this was very different from your previous works, because of the tone and dialogue and the theme. It truly is great to see fantastic game developers revolutionizing and bringing fresh content πππBravo and Brava to you!
P.S. The video will be uploaded on YouTube and I will edit the text here, so you can watch the playthrough. I did not mention about a small bug, I've encountered, but it was nothing serious, all my fault. Cheers β
