The Next World

Nice simple gameplay parts to the game. it's a bit a slow at some point but it's fun!

This is a short but good game vividly describing the struggle for survival of a crashed colony ship. It's a good mixture of story and light strategy.

The art and music are amazing!

[h1]Reseña de \The Next World\: ¿El próximo mundo o el próximo dolor de cabeza?[/h1] [h2]Resumen[/h2] ¡Bienvenidos viajeros a “The Next World”! Un juego que te promete colonizar planetas y sobrevivir a todas las adversidades que te puedas imaginar, pero que en ocasiones te hace sentir que estás más bien lidiando con el manual de instrucciones de un microondas del 95. Con un 67.02% de aprobación de la comunidad, vamos a desentrañar si este juego es el boleto a la aventura espacial que todos esperábamos. [h2]Aspectos importantes e interesantes[/h2] Una de las gemas de este juego es su historia. Es como ver una telenovela en una estación espacial - ¡drama garantizado! Las decisiones que tomas repercuten más que un tweet mal pensado de una celebridad en los Oscars. La ambientación es otro punto fuerte, realmente te sientes en el espacio (flotando en una lata, pero espacio al fin). Además, la música tiene ese toque especial que te hace levantar la vista del reloj... esperando que acabe. [h2]Aspectos por mejorar[/h2] Aunque el viaje es interestelar, la jugabilidad a veces se queda un poco... terrenal. Navegar por los menús es como intentar resolver un cubo Rubik con guantes de boxeo. Y los gráficos, aunque pintorescos, a veces te hacen preguntar si se trata de un viaje en el tiempo a la era de los 16-bits. Además, las voces pueden ser tan monótonas que encontrarías más entusiasmo en un seminario sobre la historia del papel tapiz.

O al menos unas cuantas horas de entretenimiento.

This is a fun enough narrative to play through, with the addition of the Planetary Exploration DLC. It's closer to a visual novel than city builder or base management sim, but there's enough there for some variety (again, I stress, with the DLC). The characters are memorable, and the writing is (blessedly) actually decent. The art is great too, consistent and varied. I think this is one of the better VNs out there.

Very nice game

[h1]Be [i]very[/i] careful about spoilers if you're going through the user reviews to see if this game is worth picking up.[/h1] The Next World is short and laser focused on it's story. Getting spoiled on any plot events in this game will have a drastic impact on your enjoyment of it. As such, this review is going to be as spoiler free as possible. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** I had no idea what to expect from this game beyond it's description on the store page. The premise sounded interesting, if not terribly original, so on a whim I decided to pick it up in the sale. I ended up being pleasantly surprised by it, though there are a few caveats I definitely want to address after I describe what I like about it. [b]The Good[/b] The story is good overall. There's a major twist that happens pretty early on which is executed competently and effectively. It genuinely took me by surprise and got me hooked. When it happens the colony's entire situation suddenly takes on much more meaning. It raises the stakes in a very interesting way, and it's safe to say I was enjoying the game by that point. The next couple of twists don't have the same massive implications as the first one, but they successfully surprised me in a satisfying way each time. I know that the idea of subverting audience expectations has pretty much become a meme at this point, but I think this game's story is an example of it being done right. It's definitely not perfect, though, which I'll get to. The characters are all decent. You learn just enough about all of them that their interactions with each other have some emotional weight. I liked most of them, and even the ones I didn't like still had one or two things about them that at least made them interesting. I wanted more from them, I wanted to get more involved with them and learn more about them. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. This is closely related to the story issues which, again, I'll get to. Finally, the resource management stuff is fun. There just needs to be more of it. [b]The Meh[/b] The only way for me to describe my main problem with the story is to compare it to the 2015 Sci-fi novel [i]Seveneves[/i]. I'm just going to go ahead and spoil the ending of it a little because it's fine. Gamers don't read books. To oversimplify it, seven women are the only survivors of the destroyed moon's fragments raining down on the surface of Earth. At first you think it's just going to end like that, humanity couldn't keep it's ♥♥♥♥ together long enough to survive the moonpocolypse, but then one of the characters pulls out a GIGANTIC asspull that's going to save the human race. It's such a gigantic asspull that you should feel annoyed by it, but because you've been with these seven characters for so long you just end up buying it. You get caught up in the interpersonal drama that goes on between them after the announcement of the asspull instead of focusing on how ludicrous the asspull is. There's actually quite a few similarities between Seveneves and The Next World, but that one is the similarity that really stuck out to me the most. The asspull at the end of Seveneves ends up working because of what's going on with the characters. What happens in The Next World is not an asspull, but the reasoning behind why everything is happening ends up being pretty silly. Because you never really get invested with the characters, there's nothing to counteract the sillyness. It ends up subtracting from how heavy and important the subject matter of the story is. I really wanted more character stuff is what it all comes down to, I think. I don't want it to sound like it's a deal breaker. It's not. Like I said, the story is good overall. If this was highschool, and I was a teacher grading this student's paper, I'd give it a B+. If nothing else it's a coherent story, which is something many of the most famous and treasured video game writers aren't capable of. In conclusion, I think the 70% user review score for this game is very unfair. I want all of you to know that I'll be telling my dad, who works for Valve, to ban all of the people who left a negative review of this game for disagreeing with me. In all seriousness I was very satisfied with my 5$ purchase. I'm looking forward to playing this game again on the hardest difficulty.
