Ratings War

Got to about chapter 6 or 7 before all the heavily influenced liberal nonsense just ruined the story. I don't appreciate whenever a story forces a political narrative in a story where it has no place. I forwarded through after that. As far as worrying, I'd give the story a solid 5/5. Overall though, I'm giving it a 4/10 because the forced politics ruined the story.

Well written as some sort of short polar story, but not as a choice novel. Choices are really limited, the branching is obvious and once you made one choice you're quite of forced to stick to all choices similar to that one "skill choice" you made at the beginning. The story is very linear and there is very little differences in the writings or in the story based on your choices. Same can be told about the endings : very little variations. Well written, but not really a choice novel, more like a short kinetic linear novel. Enjoyable, but I would not recommend it because there are'nt really anything specific here and it's not free.

A well-written choose your own advenure that will especially appeal to anyone who enjoys the Cyberpunk genre. Very Shadowrun feel to the story itself, sans the meta-races. However, I didn't develop the same attachment to my character or the supporting cast that I did in Choice of Robots or Tin Star as examples. It might have been that as a reporter, my character was more of a story observer than a story maker. I also felt like some of the plot itself was contrived and more fed to me as a reader than something that developed through choice-based play. I consider it a decent product for its price.

Hey ! Nobody write how the story have a big bar of independence for your reporter and get you stray right into the number 1 news corp. And its not a choice, you sign right away. After that its was over for me. No, i know the rest of the story. I refund the game.

I'd skip that one. The writing is a okay, the story and the mistery is a okay - but this is barely a "choose your own adventure", more "choose correct answers, or else". It was over before I figured out what happened, and I'm sure I'll not give it a second reading.

I found the story portrayed in "Ratings War" to be quite interesting. It's sufficiently dark for a cyberpunk setting and I enjoyed rereading it a few times. (7/10) While I’d say the first playthrough was the best, I enjoyed each of them. The only drawback is that some of the choices are railroaded which will become more apparent when you play through the game more than once. But on the whole, I felt like I was in control of my own story, and the endings I got felt fulfilling.
