Dispatch was a game that I was really interested when it got announced. Maybe because I absolutely LOVE games Telltale-styled. And that comes back from 2012 when I played The Walking Dead (Season 1).
Then, last year came. I tried the Demo from Steam and... Man... I stopped it after 10 minutes. I couldn't believe the game was an "job simulator" with super-heroes. And a VERY boring one. The demo also showed that the "Character will remember that" comes from who you choose to dispatch, making the gameplay very, very weird.
I gave up after that. Definitely the game was not for me. And that comes from someone who worked one entire year at an Call Center.
But yesterday, while wondering why the heck people praise this game so much, I decided to try it from the beginning. I wasn't expecting much, but still... It was worth a shot.
Boy, I was wrong!
I got surprised by the first chapter. So much story going on. The "Job" segments are a very small partition from the game, and characters are very well developed. This is Telltale at their best form. The decisions are tough, and to be honest, even at the Dispatching segments, I had some fun completing the tasks.
I finished 5 from the 8 chapters already. My only complain is that they are maybe way too short, but since there are multiple routes, this is understandable.
Anyway, if you, for some reason, skipped Dispatch, give it a try. I can fully understand why this game is being so praised.
