Lenin - The Lion

I've just realized I never wrote a proper review for this! To summarize my thoughts about this game: It is, hands down, my favorite game that I've played thus far. The art style is adorable, the story is tragically amazing and encapsulates anxiety and depression amazingly well, and the music is top tier! Not to mention, it has replayability with its endings and secrets! Overall, I give it 10/10, and urge you to try it yourself if you're curious!

All I wanted back then was to play games and enjoy the company of others, but instead I was shunned for my interests, my behavior, and simply being the outcast of society. This game mirrored a lot of those feelings in ways I didn’t anticipate. Lenin The Lion is a story-driven, choice-based adventure about a young boy weighed down by life at every turn. His father is absent. His mother doesn’t even see him as her own child. He’s bullied relentlessly, looked down on by everyone around him, and crushed under depression and anxious thoughts. Watching his struggles unfold was like a reflection of things I had lived through myself. Every choice you make shapes Lenin’s future, how conversations unfold, how people treat him, and ultimately which of the three …

The ending was a bit anti-climactic and sudden. You can finish the story in 2-3 hours I never unlocked 7th or 8th ending In general the controls feel unresponsive, there's long delay between each animation, even keypress -> walking. Performance at 4k on linux is rather poor. The scrolling is jittery 20-35fps even on good hardware The story idea is good, but feels a bit shallow. The quests/minigames felt a bit mediocre. Though, the art is lovely Game design is hard and maybe the modern expectations are way higher what they were 10-20 years ago. I've had similar criticism on games that go art first. It's an alright game, but nothing to write home about.

Greatest game of all time, would highly recommend :3c
