Pegue um dia para jogar ele todo de uma vez. E sem spoilers.
Игра была бы лучше, если бы не было последней главы, которая рушит смысл от всех предыдущих, которые претендовали на свободную интерпретацию и хоть на какое-то пространство для мышления. Если бы последняя глава была вынесена в эпилог, который нужно было отдельно запускать, то вопросов не было, но так игра просто в лоб подаёт в моменте, что все терзания не были саморефлексией, а послением рассказчику, который в отражении своих проблем нашёл проблемы Коды, хотя это было как раз про самого рассказчика - единственного по задумке игрока.
Beautiful.
Coda is who I want to be, Davey is who I am. Very very good story and depth, gives off a really good reality check
I don't think you have to be a game developer, or any sort of aspiring creative to begin with, to get something out of the Beginner's Guide. It spoke to me in a manner that no other game can. It's not trying to specifically make you sad or angry or even inspired; I think it's just trying to make you feel.
amazing
amazing and incredibly unique from anything i have ever played. Yes this is a walking simulator and yes it is very short but even then it gave me a feeling i cant exactly describe. To be fair, it entirely depends on what kind of person you are so this may fall flat or deeply resonate within you. still, please give this game a try
Çok güzel bir yapım. Gayet Başarılı buldum. Stanley Parable oynayanların kesinlikle beğeneceğini söyleyebilirim. Sadece Stanley oyunundaki gibi anlatıcıyla ters düşme yok. Kendisi bizim yanımızda trol değil yani. Birkaç saat farklı bir deneyim için bence iyidir. Farklı perspektifler arası geçiş yapmayı sevenler için müq bir oyun.
yes
Despite popular belief, I think Davey was in the wrong.
