    Incredibly moving story with light interactive elements to hammer it home. Very good performances from all actors involved. Sticks with you after finishing.

    This dialogue heavy game centres around a conversation at a key moment in someone's life.

    Most of the game you are free to roam around a small Southern farm. There are goats to milk and horses to feed. These half dozen activities are a distraction from a main story that involves a heavy conversation.
    I was impressed with the atmosphere that the small team have been able to create in such a short space of time, and the voice acting is well above average.
    It didn't really bother me that the player choices are limited because the story is so well told.

    The story is at the forefront so if you like games like Edith Finch or Firewatch, Adios is worthy of 90 minutes of your time.    … Expand

    This was a nice story telling game, It had some technical issues but nothing game breaking so I would still recommend this game. The voice acting was good, the only problem the game is a bit too short, but that's not too bad.

    This game has better gameplay than The Last of Us 2. At least with this I didn't have to look at a sad dad, just sad people.

    An incredibly solid experience. Sets out to achieve a very specific feeling and set of emotions, and achieves them incredibly well. It is short, but does what it wants to and respectfully ends without wasting your time. Wonderful voice acting and writing, creating strong characters in a brief moment.

    I feel this story would not work nearly as well as does if it were in any other medium.    An incredibly solid experience.

    I feel this story would not work nearly as well as does if it were in any other medium. There are the tiniest hints of brilliance, a few uses of conventional mechanics like Dialogue Options to meaningful effect, in ways I haven't seen before. It's subtle.

    Rarely do I find games that have such a strong, specific idea of what they want to be, and execute it so unambiguously. It isn't a 10. There are some small technical issues that are sort of unavoidable for such a small team. But I thoroughly enjoyed my time and was absolutely worth the cost at full price.    … Expand

    It's a short good game. My experience was about 90 minutes, but i keep coming back to it. It is the best narrative experience I've had in a video game ever.

    Although to be fair, when I read the hook I was sold.

    Better than Halo! Was captivated by the storytelling in each scene. The ramblings of the MC paint stark imagery about the life he used to live.

    Great game with a great story. I can see a lot of effort was invested and it paid off.

    It is short and sweet in the best way while making me have to look inside myself to see what I truly regret and how I might fix those problems. anyway if you dislike adios it will only take if you are as slow as I am, an hour and a half and then you will be done with it so I do consider it an auto purchase at its low price for anyone even if you hate story-based games.

    In an industry full of people who fancy themselves master storytellers but can rarely back it up, it’s refreshing to play a title that feels well-studied in more traditional narrative forms. I hope Adios is successful, and that we’ll see more like it.

    Adios excels in its creative writing through its complicated moral narrative. The characters are shown as complex even with a short runtime, and it’s easy to get emotionally invested in this farmer’s life. However, the limited interactivity really weighs on the experience as it drags in places that make it feel longer than it is. I wasn’t sold on the direction and really felt like there could have been a lot more here.

    Adios is a quietly emotional little game that will draw you in with a narrative that’s compelling and heartbreaking in equal measure. If walking sims aren’t your usual cup of tea then you might not immediately click with it, but if you’re willing to give the excellent writing and award-worthy voice acting the scant couple of hours it demands of you, it might just surprise you. And even if not, you’ll learn some cool things about American chestnut trees, so there’s that!
