The Stanley Parable

[h1] The Stanley Parable [/h1] [h3] Positives: [/h3] + Cool TSP demo that is a standalone experience (highly reccomended if you missed out on it!) + Quite good graphics (for its time) + Nice sounds and music + The voiceover is excellent + Funny and interesting + The meta perspective will f#ck with your mind + Not linear, you make your own choices + A lot of alternative endings (about 20 in total) + Achievements + Easter eggs [h3] Negatives: [/h3] - If you only play it once its 15 minutes long - Can feel monotonous and repetetive after a while - Some achivements are just annoying and unneccessary (especially the last two) - You will most likely need a guide if you want to explore all possible endings and get all achievements - To walk the same looking corridors over and over while listening to the same lines can get exhausting [h3] Conclusion: [/h3] Lets get this out of the way first: The game is a bit overhyped to be honest. Dont get me wrong though, its a good game, but its not fantastic. Its fun for what it is and does, but its not a game most people will play for hours and hours in one go. All the resets and restarts only to hear the same lines again and again (with some exceptions) can get tiresome in the long run. So should you try it? Yeah, because there arent many games like this. Its unique, but that doesnt make it super-über-fantastic as many claim it is. But its enjoyable, as long as you dont have massive expectations. And remember to take some breaks in between all the resets/restarts. [h1] Total Score: 7/10 [/h1]
