1000xRESIST

ゲームプレイ部分はかなりの虚無なので、そこを許容できるかどうかかと思います 僕は無理でした。 ストーリーそのものについては、特別好みというわけではないが、 扱われている題材は比較的珍しい（中国政治とかアジア系移民のティーンエイジャーの悩み的な部分）ので興味深く見れる部分もあった。 ただ、問題はゲームプレイのほうで マップ探索がとにかく面倒くさい。 ゲームとして面白い操作やシステムがあるわけではなく、 特に必要性のない移動やお使いがほとんどなので、 だったらもっとリニアにテンポよくストーリーを見せてくれるほうが個人的にはよかったですね。 あと結構な頻度でプレイヤーに会話選択肢を選ばせるわりに、 あんまり意味のない選択肢が多かったのもわりと嫌でした。

A beautifully made game with a fascinating story and profound themes of loss, the cost of resistance, cultural assimilation, and memory. Whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone that has the 10-15 hours to spare.

This is a case where the game is so brilliant that I struggle to find the right words. I’d say just go and play it, but that’s not how reviews work, so I’ll try my best. 1000xRESIST has the best narrative I’ve ever seen in a game. And I love story-focused games, I play lots of them. It’s in no way a perfect GAME – animations can be janky, the hub is frustratingly confusing at times, but it didn’t matter because the idea and message are so powerful. I’d say the game is mostly about generational trauma, the weight of memories, forms and cost of resistance in an authoritarian society, violent nature of human language, and mothers and daughters. And then mothers and daughters again and daughters of those daughters and daughters of daughters, and it cycles infinitely. There are a lot of other themes, this game has many layers. It’s impossible to name all of them, but you get the idea. The way they are presented is very artistic, even theatrical. You get to see separate scenes, sometimes they’re chronologically connected, sometimes they belong to a different timeline. And then you do a bit of detective job, putting it together, trying to get the full picture. At the end, it still looks blurry and ambiguous. I loved and hated it at the same time because, of course I wanna know everything, but I also respect the trust in players to interpret things on their own. What else? The game has really cool visual moments I enjoyed, and there’s a particular language puzzle that made me stare at the screen in disbelief and awe. I’m so excited for the future of gaming, seeing such wonderful pieces of interactive media exist.

You aim your character at a glowing ring and press a button. That's the extent of the gameplay in 1000xRESIST, and honestly it would probably be better off without it. I can forgive it for that, because everything else about it is a masterpiece. Its premise goes like this: extraterrestrial beings come to earth, a virus threatens to wipe out humanity, and somehow the only immune survivor is a high school girl who immediately comes off as a horrible person. The game takes that starting plot and runs with it far beyond what anyone would consider reasonable, turning its own beginning into myth, then letting the myth become half-remembered until it's something else entirely. Along the way it gets into some heavy topics (lasting effects of intergenerational trauma, importance of resistance, whether learning more about someone makes them any easier to forgive, and much more). You will 1000% find a theme in the story that touches on something important to you, and the game will do it with genuine heart, humor and absolute relentlessness. Characters frequently do terrible things to each other, redeem themselves, then do some more terrible things, and you'll understand the why of it every single time. "The us is a weave that can be unpicked," as they say. It's stylish as all hell, too. The environments and the cutscene are gorgeous at times. The only real flaw is the late-game pacing. After seven excellent chapters of tight, narrative momentum, the game makes you spend the rest of it running back and forth on a train, up and down escalators, and fiddling with light switches. Still, absolutely play this if you enjoy a phenomenal story (or have a weird fondness of getting lost inside labyrinthine structures). It's one of the best ones you'll find on Steam.

I am just glad that I am alive. Its art like this that keeps me going

man that "good girl" made me cry so hard. this game is a masterfully told story that rearranges moments so the punches hit the hardest. it's not particularly challenging or difficult to understand as a video and a story respectively, and some would say that it'd serve better as a book, but i appreciate the care that went into designing the time-travel sequences for pacing the "puzzle" sequences especially in the very beginning. i wish it was used more often, but as it stands it might've ruined the fairly tight pacing the story has after the setup. no complaints about the performance even on linux and has good dualsense haptics support (turn off steam input).
