One of the better ones, try one of the best. Fixed an error message I was getting that had made it hard to play and played through the entire game in one sitting and this was easily one of the best games of 2012 and one that I wish I had played when it came out. Everything mixes together, the gameplay, the narrative, the music, the characters, and creates a completely satisfying experience. Despite the fact the characters are just rectangles, they all have personalities, flaws, and character arcs that make them seem more human than many other video game characters. I could never buy the romance between Raiden and whatshername from
Metal Gear Solid 2, but in just under 4 hours I got the romance between a long rectangle named Laura and a cynical square named Christopher.
Don't let the "art game" label turn you off, this isn't something like
The Path or
Braid that is being convoluted for the sake of seeming deep, this is a very basic game about love, friendship, courage, and death and it absolutely belongs at the same table as other games like TellTale's
The Walking Dead.
The Steam sale is going on and it's available on the PSN so I absolutely implore you to grab a copy and see the magic for yourself.
