Erica

This is the new way to play interactive games and we need more of this out there. So much better than that lame and weak bandersnatch episode too.

Erica is absolutely a passing project on the PS4. An interactive film in which there is no strong main plot, weak acting and a minimal amount of interactivity as such. There are 5 endings in the game, only the first 3 are of interest. The main 2 is "player torture" to receive a platinum trophy. Why did I not understand such terrible control, playing from a smartphone is uncomfortable. There are of course pleasant things in Erica - a great picture, good camera work, but there is nothing else here. Erica is positioned as a thriller, but in 2 hours of the film there is not one tense moment.

Erica tries to innovate with a new way of playing through the mobile app, but she doesn't shy away from other games that we already have in the market for a while, with normal production, not exceptional history, performances that can leave something to be desired, but she can leave you interested enough to want to see its completion, and play a few more times to discover other possible endings.

I was hugely impressed when this was released at gamescom. An innovative and fresh take on interactive gaming, beautifully done. I will be playing this a lot to explore all the different story arches.

Once upon a time I tried to play (watch) the game "Late Shift". It was terrible, I really didn't like it.

When I started playing Erica, I was counting on the worst. But the game turned out to be not so bad. Nice actors, little interest in the story.
