The Beginner's Guide

This game made me think about the stuff I'm going through right now. It didn't give me any straightforward answers, but helped me to understand what is actually wrong with me

Haven't played it in a while but it has left a lasting impression on me. It's a heavy game but it tells an incredibly impactful story that made me reflect upon myself. It's a fairly short game but it is very much worth the price.

не думал, что напишу обзор на такую игру. очень долго не хотел в неё играть, боялся, что это какой-то черезмерный артхаус или около того. единственная игра, которая заставила меня плакать. это шедевр. я ничего не знал об этой игре до прохождения, и вам лучше тоже не знать. просто поиграйте.

[h1]One of the most emotionally-touching narrative games I have ever experienced.[/h1] I do not want to talk about the specifics or the themes this game touches - no matter how many hours I'd put into this review, I would not do it justice. What I can say is that this walk-em-up (a term I use instead of the derogatory "Walking simulator") is something every creative should have experienced, especially for those making video games. Play it. While the price may seem steep for 90 minute experience, if you can afford it, do get it full price. Otherwise, there is no shame in waiting for a discount.

Как будто со мной поделились чем-то очень личным

This was not deep, and not particularly entertaining. It was clearly made by a Californian narcissist.

This game is like the Mr. Beast burning building video: If it's a true story, then it's unethical. And if it's fiction, then it completely loses the central premise. If it had just ended with him saying "Coda is just a character I made up", that would have worked better. Or he could have given the narrator a different name. This game is basically a video essay, but for people who like "reality" tv shows (but at least both of those are generally free). Should've included emotion booths, then at least a logical but emotional person such as myself could've felt something. Fittingly dedicated to Raphael. Oh wait, is this game just to prank him? In that's case, it's hilarious and I love it.
