Not For Broadcast

个人觉得没有网上说的那么好玩，固然大量真人素材的拍摄和导播工作体验很新颖，但是完全就是牛马打工模拟器，好累，玩完之后只感觉好累。1.作为某种意义上的文游进度太慢而且无法跳过快进，我打第一个结局就要8个小时不敢想打完14个要多久。2.操作系统用中文，难道语音就不可以英文了吗，这8个小时声音完全对不上口型而且这种译制片一样的腔调好难受。3.脏话带妈也太多了，好荒诞，玩过好几个这种类型的游戏这是第一个让我觉得荒谬地不耐烦了

Все еще актуалочка. Есть эпизод с карантинной тематикой, рефлексия ковида и изоляции в наше время ощущается курьезно. Немного тягомотный геймплей, в один присест пройти не осилил.

Wow, what an AMAZING game! An absolute must-play. Seriously. Very innovative format and, above all, a story-driven experience that ACTUALLY got its stuff together: > Great story > Wacky yet interesting characters > Solid dialogue > Superb world-building > Choices TRULY matter. > Innovative (and amazing) FMV usage. As for any story-driven game, it's best if you go in blindly regarding the story and everything else. It got me tense, laughing, worried and, above all, invested in the story and its characters.

This was an interesting concept for a game, but I didn't find the execution really engaging. It was kind of cool to see the idea, but I couldn't get very far, it just wasn't interesting enough. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will like it, but people like me just won't enjoy it.

While this game has a cool concept and cool mechanics it ultimately follows the South Park school of political thought, which means it uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing of worth. Full of talk about 'balance' and 'both sides are just as bad as each other' (the most lukewarm take to hit steam this decade) at the start it then nose dives into a story line so unrealistic and uninteresting that it can't even be called 'satire' any more. It pushes a weird narrative that seems to be saying 'welfare states actually want to declare nuclear wars and the only way to save us all from this is to be nice to billionaires.' It's tonally... weird. It's really weird. Nothing you do actually matters or affects the game's plot, even when it feels like it really should, and the only character with any consistency of characterisation dies half way through. The rest of them are just a mess. It's also disgustingly large and bloated and not worth the four hour download time.

I heard about this game being good. What i didnt expect was the emotional attachment i'd get towards the end. Further more i didn't realise that it would take me 12 hours for me to get 1 out 14 endings, yeah im still going to try to get them all xD

[h1] Wonderful Game [/h1] I picked this up for less than $10 USD with all of its DLC on sale. I'm a huge fan of telltale games and choose your own adventure games. Some of my favorite games include The Wolf Among Us, Dispatch, The Walking Dead, etc. I have a HUGE soft spot for the genre. [h2] So, what is this game? [/h2] It's a mix of a Full Motion Video (FMV) game & a choose your own adventure with elements of a game like Papers, Please tossed in. It also lightly reminds me of Five Nights at Freddy's - you sitting in an editing station stationary vs sitting in the security station in the original FNAF. You play as the live editor of a news station. You choose camera angles, what to censor or not to censor. All of these factor into the branching path of the story. Will you support the government & toe the party line? Will you support the resistance? Will you remain neutral? What about your co-workers? Your family? etc. It has around 14 different endings & tons of DLC available. So, there is value here if you like this genre like I do. Its undeniable - from my perspective at least. Overall, solid premise & wonderful game. [h2] The Downside [/h2] Some elements of the story are delivered through simple text & images. These segments also effect the branching narrative. They involve your family & can feel like a bit of a drag. The reading can be a bit of a chore. You have no faces to associate with the characters that are your family. So you have no real way to empathize with them other than "this is your family, here are their names, you should care for them." It's also very British. I put this in downsides because....I'm American. Sometimes British humor or terms can fall flat to some Americans. They should keep that in mind. For instance. Censoring swear words is a core part of gameplay. Words I, as an American, wouldn't consider profane - the game does. That's just because of that small cultural difference. So be aware of that going in, but its not a huge deal. I also did encounter a couple of crashes with the game. It mainly involved me pausing & walking away from the game of an extended period of time. If the game did not crash it would have some hiccups upon my return. Not a common issue, but one to be aware of going in. [h2] TLDR [/h2] I really like the concept of the game and its right up my alley; however, the text based aspects that deliver the narrative outside of your characters job feel clunky & leave something more to be desired. Overall. [b]Solid 7.5-8/10.[/b] Worth every penny of the $10 USD. 100% buy this on sale if you can.
