1000xResist

More of a visual novel, but a bit more interactive.

This would be the first of its kind in my 35 years of gaming, and yeah, it's not as "active" playing as we're all used in a mix of different genres, but the one to check out if you don't mind to get cozy and enjoy a great story.

I didn't hear about it before, somewhat accidentally installed, thought it wouldn't keep me invested but it's pretty deep and those ten chapters went by pretty fast even with resolving all the optional tasks and talking with everyone you can talk.

I had read a lot of glowing reviews about the game beforehand - how its story is supposedly one of the best in the entire history of gaming. I honestly don't understand why.

The story was certainly unique, but very fragmented and illogical. The execution was also different in its abstractness, but compared to today's graphics it felt stuck in the 2000s.

I almost gave up after Chapter 2 because I was already so bored. But I pushed through to the end, only because I wanted to understand where all the hype was coming from.

After Chapter 5 I was completely stunned at how bad the ending was. How poorly the story was conveyed to the player. It felt like I had wasted seven hours of my life on a completely pointless game.

It gets three stars for originality, but based on my own experience I couldn't recommend this game to anyone.
