Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between

Нудная дичь, если честно. По трейлеру и описанию я там в себе буду копаться, а по факту я больше философии и интересного из разговоров с таксистами имею. Не часто я дропаю игры, но это именно такой случай: растянутая (в плохом смысле) нудятина, не рекомендую.

Mild recommendation. One man's art is another man's pretentiousness. I have talked to strangers on a train, talked to interesting hitchhikers I'had picked up, did a lot of long distance and night driving, talked to people traveling far in airport terminals and on hikes. That part of the game is all right. It's nice visually, the music is all right but that's not that important because it's not what it's about. The game is focused on contemplation and it did make me think about things, but probably not in the way it was intended. It made me thinking about how to make the game more interesting and less shallow while being aware of limits of a dialogue tree. Conceptually, I think there is an issue with the converations being short but more importantly - your answers are in most cases validated. I tried to put random answers to questions and the response usually is not a pushback but something like: "that's also a valid opinion". Contemplation does not come from things of which you are already aware without providing new context or challenge. Basically I would enjoy more if for every answer there would be more discord. Or maybe overall more dissent. I know that the authors stated they tried to make it safe and optimistic - I would much rather get my beliefs challenged.

i had one story. I could really feel it on an emotional level

when you play this game, you have to be in the mood to read, when you arent, you will find this game boring and horrible, but i do enjoy it, i first played it for like 10min, hated it, a bit later i started again, in the mood to read, and i indeed like it, and it did made me think more... even when its mostly about maps now TwT

soothing or stimulating or both
