Great little indie walking sim with a touching emotional story. Good Visuals and voice acting. A good buy for fans of this genre.

[i] My Experience [/i] Well, I respect what what the game is trying to do. I tend to enjoy these games that involve revisiting an old location to uncover repressed or hidden memories. The game Sagebrush is an excellent example of this genre. While I thought the voice acting was well done and I enjoyed the graphical style and some of the environmental design, I can't say that my impression was altogether positive. [list] [*]When I initially loaded up the game, I clicked on the "How to Play" section, and found it just littered with typos. [*]As another reviewer mentioned, the hunger meter is pretty silly. Why include time pressure in a game about exploration that encourages you to collect everything? With how many I had to eat to keep that meter up, I have no doubt that Sophia would 100% be heaving mushrooms by the end of the game. [*]The game spells out its themes a bit too explicitly. Instead of giving you the facts or just the diary pages, Sophia often (during the "memories" that you find) waxes psychological on how her childhood has affected her long-term. Give the player some credit! We can piece this together ourselves. [*]Finding the keys for each building just feels like wa…

Игра 'The Place I Called Home' - это трогательное приключение, цепляющее с первых минут. История маленькой девочки, потерявшей все и пытающейся найти новый дом, невероятно трогательна и заставляет сопереживать каждому ее шагу. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в акварельной манере, создает атмосферу хрупкости и надежды, идеально сочетающуюся с повествованием. Геймплей представляет собой сочетание квеста и интерактивной истории, где каждый выбор влияет на развитие событий и взаимоотношения с персонажами. Головоломки не сложные, но атмосферные, они помогают погрузиться в мир девочки и понять ее переживания. Музыкальное сопровождение заслуживает отдельной похвалы - мягкие мелодии подчеркивают эмоциональные моменты и создают ощущение тепла и уюта, несмотря на трагичность ситуации. 'The Place I Called Home' - это не просто игра, а трогательное интерактивное произведение искусства, которое оставит след в сердце каждого, кто в нее поиграет. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет душевные истории с глубоким смыслом.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper
