Oh boy, what to say about this game? Well, for a start it’s definitely not a game that will be to the taste of most FPS enjoyers. The gunplay could use some work, some of the voice acting (especially from Nora, the main character) feels a bit stunted and the game is rather short, being about four hours or so. However, if you can get past all that the story is actually really interesting and more importantly has a sequel being developed that will continue it. I’m not saying this is the most complicated or even heartfelt story I’ve encountered, it certainly isn’t. What this story does do, is leave several questions unanswered, some of which you may not even realise you have a question about until the end.
I do have a question that I’m absolutely certain will not be answered in the next game (and definitely isn’t answered in this one). Why did the developers start the game in East Berlin, in 1989 just as the Berlin Wall is falling, only to have you transported away? It just feels like such a strange time to set the start of the game when it could have been set years before or after and it would have made essentially no difference?
Truly I don’t know whether to recommend this game or not, I know I enjoyed it but I know many that would absolutely hate it. I’ve wishlisted the sequel which I suppose is a recommendation of a form.
