Paratopic

I would've liked this more if the driving bits weren't so boring and didn't drag on like they do. Otherwise, interesting game with a terrific soundtrack.

Captivated me during the short game time with its uncertain atmosphere and beautiful artstyle/soundtrack. In an interview, one of the developers said that it is an anti-walking sim because they give the player different mechanics like driving cars and taking pictures, which made me chuckle a bit. Paratopic has no real gameplay. Whether I drive a car along an empty roadway for minutes while listening to the radio or snap a few photos in the woods doesn't change the fact that I inevitably end up at the predetermined destination without challenge. That's not a shame, but it's the truth.

wanted to like this so bad but it felt prety underwhelming. will give it some time to sink in

this is really cool but i wish it maintained more of the energy of the first chunk and actually showed some more of the juicy stuff
