![]() I pretty much consistently ignored them, did the opposite of what they recommended and almost never asked them for advice. The voice in your head is a douche and I hate him. It's not a horrible game, it looks quite nice and outside of weird moments it runs great on Series X, it's just a giant, disappointing step back from their prior work. The clues you need to read are fine, you can click on them individually and see the text in an overlay, but low res textures right in your face feels like something games don't do nowadays, and not something I remember seeing in Life is Strange or Tell Me Why either. There are also multiple moments where you click on say a notice board looking for a clue and every single texture is a blurry unreadable mess. Limited NPC's, dialogue options, choices and a short length. Twin Mirror costs the same as Tell Me Why but it feels like it must've had a fraction of the budget. I couldn't work out what the solution was and had to go through every single option one by one until I had the answer the game wanted. That also meant I accidentally skipped one of the better parts of the game. The problem is that I didn't even think that was the answer, I was only trying to choose a good starting point. In a later investigation I picked the correct answers on my first attempt and was immediately sent into a cutscene. The first one I did I felt like I was kinda solving something. You choose something like: The victim was by, watch how it plays out and decide if that matches what you know and what clues you found in the environment. The investigation part is basically a multiple choice puzzle. You can't miss any clues and when you need to piece them together you can't get it wrong either, the game won't let you continue until you get it right. I don't care about any of the characters and the investigation part is entirely railroaded. Twin Mirror on the other hand is just boring. I also loved the investigation in Life is Strange with the putting the pieces together moment making me feel like I had worked something out. I loved the characters in Life is Strange and they seem great in Tell Me Why so far. I'm currently maybe half way through Tell Me Why and from what I've played that game seems massively better as well. Life is Strange Season 1 was infinitely better. I don't hate it, but wouldn't recommend it either. This is where you’ll find yourself feeling the most in control during the whole game, even though the choices come thick and fast, and it’s these moments of tension that are most immersive as a player.I finished the game earlier and my opinion is that it's mediocre. At one point, just before he’s about to have an anxiety attack, you get whisked to the mind palace and have to perform simple mini-game style tasks to distract Sam and calm him down. Things can get quite stressful during your investigation and Sam is not the most together person as it is, since he’s prone to blackouts and pill popping. It’s these moments when you, as a player, feel real pressure but be aware this isn’t a black and white narrative and Dontnod have managed to create something that feels much more complex than the normal binary, moral decisions. His alternative take on important situations has you questioning your instincts and sometimes your mental health. This twin, an imaginary friend from your childhood, looks like a cross between a shrink and an Armani model and regularly pops up when there’s a big decision that needs to be made. Your twin is also sitting in the back seat of the car while she’s talking, telling you if you don’t you’re a really bad person. After two years of silence, you feel you owe her some of your time and agree to investigate. ![]() Once you arrive at Nick’s wake his daughter confronts you and confides that there might be more to her father’s death than meets the eye.
