4/10 Online multiplayer doesn't work; you can only play online through Xbox live and even then it just got caught in a server connection loop every time I tried. The later half of the game becomes a poorly written soap opera after a compelling first half. It's also worth noting that the game ends on a massive cliffhanger. There are no announcements for a sequel, DLC, or 3rd book. There is even empty space in the menus where a third chapter would go. Nothing on the steam page will tell you this so the game is basically incomplete with no foreseeable resolution. To add technical frustration to this mess, the game blatantly forgot decisions I had made in previous chapters and would show me flashbacks of events that never happened in my play-through. This is either a serious bug that erases hours of play-time, or development didn't have the bandwidth to keep up with their branching narratives between the 1st and 2nd books.Show moreShow less
honestly, i had low expectations. but so far this is absolutely fantastic UPDATE AFTER FINISHING: this has been such a thoroughly rewarding experience and i'm so glad i took a chance on this game. the story and its characters are absolutely enthralling and i haven't been this impressed by a branching narrative since i played detroit: become human back in 2018. there's some railroading, as the game does have a story it wants to tell, but that railroading is not nearly as egregious as some other games in the genre, and it certainly helps that the game doesn't try to hide the fact that some things are inevitable. the amount of variables that you can influence within the confines of the story is deeply impressive and comes VERY close to being on Detroit's level. i truly cannot praise this masterpiece enough.Show moreShow less
Where is Book 3??? How can you release an unfinished game and then make absolutely no effort whatsoever to even let us know if another chapter is coming? It’s been YEARS with no word. Wtf? Can’t recommend an unfinished gameShow moreShow less
If you like Heavy Rain, Detroit, Until Dawn it's a no-brainer. It's got better writing than a lot of those games though. Its a really interesting game. Definitely something unique and different.Show moreShow less
It's a fun experience with a friend on the couch, but it's not... good. Like the technology is cool, but the story is poorly paced and melodramatic, and the only characters I care about, I care about because I hate them. The third act, especially, falls apart utterly in the face of even the most basic interrogation about how the world is. I like this type of game, and I'd welcome a 3-hour narrative game if it had a narrative worth following. This feels like it's just pushing to get past the return window.Show moreShow less
Great game. If you enjoy games like Life Is Strange, Detroit Become Human or the Telltale series, this is the right game for you.Show moreShow less
This is more of a point and click choose your own adventure story from the 90's than it is a game. I was hoping the animation wouldn't bother me - but it does. Worst of all, the story, the story itself isn't strong enough to stand on its own and there have been repetitive flashbacks to fill time.Show moreShow less
This game is perhaps the best story narrative with choices that have consequences I've ever played and I'm not even finished with it yet. Ever read a book you can't put down until you finish it? Or perhaps taking your eyes off the screen until the movie ends with your questions being answered or your mind in wonder? This game delivers in all the right areas for me personally. I love how well this story was written as well as the characters backstories/voice acting. Had a feeling when I pre purchased this game a month ago and it has not disappointed one bit. I'm blown away and this game has been helping me through a rough patch in my life currently where I've just felt alone. Praise to developers and all involved for this master piece.Show moreShow less
This game absolutely did not deserve to win the "Games for Impact" award of the 2022 Game Awards, especially compared to Citizen Sleeper or I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. The Games for Impact category was meant for a "thought-provoking game with a pro-social meaning or message." This game feels like a game about people living in poverty written by people who have never been poor. The only social message it got correctly is to never talk to cops without a lawyer. I figured that the game published by XBOX would win the social impact category compared to the independently published games that got less promotion and traction, but it doesn't bite any less. That's not the only reason I'm leaving a negative review, though. It was just the push I needed to put to words what I didn't like about As Dusk Falls. I phrased this as spoiler free as I could. I've played many choices matter narrative games, including all the Telltale games series, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Detroit:Become Human, Until Dawn, Man of Medan series, The Quarry, etc. These are all games where the stories vary in quality, but I love them even if they are cheesy or poorly written. The best part of these games are they play out like a movie and has choices that leaves you with that sense of wonderment of, "Yo... what would have happened if I picked that other choice? What endings did I miss out on? I can't wait to see it all!" Basically, I resonate with homies that will play an entire 10 hour game all over again just to see the result of a different path. I didn't want to do that with As Dusk Falls. The characters in this game make the absolute Worst decisions. You are often left between choosing between two horrible, illogical decisions that serve only to further the absolute crap shoot of a story. It is an absolute sh*tshow where characters continue to make worse and worse decisions until they die or get arrested/traumatized. I didn't care about the fate of any of the characters because they were all so unlovable and uninteresting. I played through the game just cringing over and over at the stupid stupid stupid decisions they force you to make, until it reaches an unsatisfying resolution. It's fun, in a way, to watch insane characters make stupid decisions and end up suffering the consequences for it. I'd recommend the game for that experience. But who in their right mind can argue that watching people living in poverty make rash and illegal decisions that hurt people is "pro-social?" I genuinely seethe when I think about this game winning in the Games for Impact category over Citizen Sleeper, an absolute gem of a narrative game about living in the slums of a stunning sci-fi world. As angry as I am that this story was an absolute mess and yet it somehow won the award for social impact, I think there are two very commendable things about this game: 1) You and your friends can play this game on your phone and it syncs up really well. I've only seen this in Jackbox Party games and another narrative game for Playstation called "Hidden Agenda." It's really nice, I hope more games will come out in the future with this accessibility. 2) The games makes it easy for you to go back and view other paths, which is a nice quality of life function that older narrative games lack. TL;DR- A game that plays well but it has unlovable characters and a stupid story without any social commentary, yet somehow won the Game Awards for it. I think the game developers can make something great someday, but this wasn't it.Show moreShow less
