a nice walking simulator with stunning visuals. just go for a walk, sometimes that's all life is really about.
Своеобразная атмосфера, на один, в целом не плохо ,раз на любителя, НО историю рассказчика я так ни разу и не услышал 9 ачивок из 10
Dear Esther — это не просто игра, а настоящее путешествие в одиночество, воспоминания и размышления. Даже спустя годы она не потеряла своей атмосферы. Возвращаясь к ней, испытываешь ту самую ностальгию по временам, когда игры смело экспериментировали с повествованием и эмоциями, а не только с геймплеем. Остров, музыка, голос рассказчика — всё это до сих пор создает ощущение загадки и меланхолии. Конечно, сегодня проект может показаться медленным, но именно в этом и заключается его уникальность. Это произведение, которое хочется не проходить, а проживать. Для меня Dear Esther заслуживает 9/10. Это одна из тех игр, которые оставляют след в памяти и напоминают, что видеоигры могут быть настоящим искусством.
нууууууууууу норм. Но 50 рублей это слишком дорого. Я не против симуляторов ходьбы, но сюжет какой то невзрачный, типа тут есть философские идеи, но кроме них будто ничего нет. Ну хз хз
He intentado completarlo en más de una ocasión pero me resulta aburrido. Seguro que al final la historia está bien, pero no he llegado a completarla.
Jogo que chega a ser poético aos olhos, merecia uma dublagem ou minimamente legendas em PT-BR, e uma jornada mais longa por ser menos de duas horas de gameplay total. O final é surpreendente e lindo, aliás, como todo os detalhes visuais. Poderiam ter explorado mais com puzzles, já que abusaram de litogravuras que poderiam indicar algo de fato. É um jogo literalmente de caminhada com um belo cenário com sonoplastia bem casada com a atmosfera, diria até que seria terapêutico após um dia turbulento. Jogaria novamente? Não, com certeza a caminhada seria entediante não tendo a mesma sensação do mistério da primeira vez. Vale a pena pela experiência agradável.

Well, I finished it. Not sure what to say. The 'gory' dialogue felt unnatural and forced, which I disliked. Story and its meaning could have been good, if worked upon further. Visuals were very nice. Gameplay-wise its a walking sim, simple interactions with the enviroment and few puzzles would greatly elevate the game. All things considered, Im glad it was only 70 mins long.
특별히 뭔가를 할수는 없어도 여행, 탐험하는 느낌이라 좋았네요. 게임을 진행하면서 들은 생각인데 고전게임 에뮬게임 가득 채워진 휴대용 게임기에, 휴대형 태양광 발전기에, 각종 사냥도구와 생존도구 같은거 챙겨서 맵에 나오는 무인도 같은 곳에서 자급자족 하면서 살고 싶다는 생각이 들었네요. 돈 같은 것도 필요없고 그냥 그렇게 살면서 이번생 마무리 하고 싶다는 생각이 들었습니다. 다만 게임이 좀 짧은건 살짝 아쉽습니다
Dear Esther is something special. The narration, art direction, environments, music, story, the slowness. Everything just works so well and doesn't clash with one another in any way. I don't know what to say apart from the fact that this is genuinely a beautifully magnificent game. It is worth the time. It's not too long, less than 3 hours long.
