Gaming

Hey, my first gaming post! Excite!

I had seen a couple of my Twitch streamer pals way back when run through this game a few years ago, and I remember being excited about the idea of the game.

If you’re looking to not be spoiled, obviously don’t read this. I will spoil the game for you, and I will not be sorry about it.

So when I saw this game show up in the monthly Playstation game thing, I knew it was destiny. I downloaded it and dug in.

My initial opinions were positive, listening to the instructions of an invisible Narrator and going out of my way to do the exact opposite of what he said to do. I loved exploring the various parts of the game that I could, trying different things to see what different interjections the narrator had.

Then I went on to explore the new content, as PS Plus had the ultra deluxe version of the game. Where instead of meandering to the boss’s office, I could instead explore an attraction the narrator had created for the next installment of the Stanley Parable. I got to view the collectible figurines, jump in an infinite (but not-so-infinite) hole, and pick up the best item in the entire game: The Reassurance Bucket.

So all those endings I had run through initially would now be slightly different with a bucket in my clutches.

The game is quirky, and a lot of fun, but my one complaint is probably the same as others, if I had to guess. I just want more. You can finish the game in its entirety, including all the multiple endings, within a few hours. More if you’re patiently taking your time. And once you’ve seen everything, that’s basically it.

But I definitely recommend giving this a go if you want to be bullied by an invisible Narrator the entire time and love the idea of carrying a galvanized steel bucket everywhere.
