One of the best games I've ever played, it contains a funny story with unexpected things, I had seen a gameplay of the game and I really liked it, then I decided to play it and I had a lot of fun, I also got angry.
When I decided to buy it I wasn't very convinced. The gameplay seemed original, at least, and it didn't seem like it was going to be too silly... What I found, however, was surprising. In every sense. The story is very well written and manages to mix very emotional moments with others typical of a Monty Python movie, and the game treats you as an adult and intelligent person capable of drawing your own conclusions.
As for what some critics say that there are segments that are too long, I barely remember two or three of those, and I think they put it there intentionally (to explain why would be spoiler). And if you're worried that the game is too difficult, there are several difficulty levels that allow you to just focus on the story.
But if I had to highlight just two things, it would be:
-The decisions, which are interesting to make and have real consequences in the story. This is seen above all in the segments between programs, where, depending on a thousand factors, you can decide in the protagonist's life and in his relationship with his family. And,
-The characters. A 10 to all of them, with special mention to Jeremy Donaldson. Brilliant, like the rest of the game.
So, if you are really looking for something different, mature, fun and exciting, buy it, play it, enjoy it.
Un gameplay et un thème original (la manipulation des médias et la réalisation d'émission TV) mais quelques ratés dans la narration. En effet on a du mal parfois a faire le lien entre nos choix perso et pro sur l'histoire ainsi que l'influence réelle que l'on a sur l'histoire. Apparemment il y a 14 fins possibles, mais comme le jeu se présente comme du travail, c'est compliqué de se remettre dedans pour les déverrouiller. Jeu terminé en 9h
It's a hit and miss for me. It tries to do drama and comedy while at the same time you have to play the game so for me it felt like more something to do as a tv show rather than a game. But your experience may differ since it appears subjective.
