| Xen said: Yup. And indeed that is how it looked to me from the Jim Sterling review. To experience a linear story, I would watch a movie. That is why I am likely never "playing" this. To have a game tell me a story, I will play Bloodborne or Persona 5. I frankly do not understand what do people find in these hyper-linear, barely-game experiences. |
When I think of a "barely-game experience", I think of Gone Home, not this or Persona 5. And Gone Home is my favorite video game of all time. I guess I just don't really care about the semantics of whether something reaches X level of interactivity so much as the substance of whether its poignant or just plain fun to me.
In any event, Hellblade has plenty of those traditional game elements that you might desire.
As to Jim Sterling, I'm having an increasingly difficult time regarding him as a credible voice. I mean when you score this game a 1 out of 10 (even if just temporarily), you lose some credibility with me because that's just not a serious score or evaluation. That's just doing anything for attention.
