Kentucky Route Zero TV Edition

get this back in the top 100 ffs it’s seriously one of the most incredible pieces of art I’ve ever experienced

“this is like if F#A#∞ was a game for me” this is actually really true. why do they have the exact same atmosphere

This feels like something that’ll be more appreciated much much later in the future

Act 5 is disappointing, to say the least. Still a really good game with loads of creative ideas and great atmosphere, needs way more recognition.

One of those games I’m looking forward to getting in my library. Gonna snatch this next time it goes on sale

the absolute most important and affecting game I have ever played, (pretty funny that it takes place from the same state I am from) but there is something to be said about video games as an art form here and how you can experience this story in a way that would not be able to be told any other way in my opinion. the interlude play is fucking fantastic.

This one is an interesting one for me. It was so much of a slow burner that by the end of act 3 I was honestly pretty damn bored, but I kept going because of its reputation and the fact that I was almost finished. Its atmosphere and music also kept me going, both individually being 10/10s, it's so easy to just soak yourself into its vibe.

The story however, doesn't necessarily get better, there's no giant climax or some kind of payoff that rewards you for your time, it just kind of... keeps going. But somewhere in the beginning of act4 it really clicked with me. I started to see it as more of a conversation and journey between characters rather than some overarching deep narrative that I was so desperately wanting to cling onto. I started to see it like some kind of campfire tale or folk song. Surprised no one has mentioned it anywhere, but this game reminds me a lot of Inside Llewyn Davis.

I do wish they did a little more "showing" rather than "telling", like in the 5th act. The game feels more like a book and doesn't utilize its visual-based medium enough. The story itself is kind of convoluted and I don't have enough brain power to figure it all out, or i could just be stupid.
