What I played it on: Macbook ProController type: Keyboard and mouseHours put in: 12In game pictures: / /Review: This was one of the most interesting experiences I've had in gaming in a while. I've never played and frankly never even heard of a game like Her Story before starting it.In the game, you are a police officer looking in a police database inquiring about the murder of a man named Simon. You unveil 7 days worth of interview footage of his wife, Hannah, by searching through the database using keywords or phrases that she says.This game brings me back to my 'To the Moon' review discussion that I had where I couldn't decide whether one could consider that a game or not. I wouldn't rehash that discussion (as you can find it at the bottom of this review) but I will bring up the fact that it was hard to call it a game due to actual gameplay. I feel the same way about Her Story and here's why.There is really no 'end game' to this game or even a beginning really.

Searching through the database just has you listening to this woman speak any where from 8 seconds longs to 2 minutes. That is all you do in this game, you search and you listen (while putting clips in order along the way if you're OCD about it like I was). The game does require you to pay very close attention in order for you to move forward. Planar shift pathfinder. It even gives you some interesting subtle hints along the way of clips you should be paying attention to with stuff like outside noises. But in the end this is less of a game and more of a story. It has this interesting voyeurism meets Momento quality to it.To me this was very exciting though. It was like piecing together a puzzle to find out what the bigger picture was.

I was completely hooked because I really wanted to know where the story was going. It definitely did have some interesting turns along the way. I will say that this game is all about the journey as the journey is way more satisfying then when you decide you're done with the game.Some people who've played this game are going to be wondering why I put 12 hours into it when an completionist time is only 4 1/2 hours. Well, this brings me to the one huge issue I had with this game. The clips and putting them in order. Every time you find a new piece of the puzzle you can choose to add them to the bottom by clicking 'add session'. Over time these clips add up and sometimes you find clips from the first sessions hours in when you have a ton of clips stored.

Now, this issue may just be a me thing. I wanted to watch all 7 interviews in order from the 1st to the 7th at the end of the game and I decided from the very beginning I was going to do it that way. I couldn't tell you if there was others like me who did it the way I did but I can't imagine I'm the only one who'd want to watch everything straight.

So, the issue is that the game does not allow you to drop newly found clips from the top row to where ever you want in your saved sessions at the bottom, the only option you have is to add them at the very end. This means if you find a clip from the 1st interview, you must drag through all other 6 interviews (i'm talking at least 50 - 60 clips to get past) and you can only do it 5 clips at a time. This sucked, I mean this really sucked. I must have spent more time dragging these clips in order than I did searching and watching the interviews. I honestly can't imagine how the developer wouldn't think that someone like me would do this and not just add a simple feature of dragging and dropping.

This nearly ruined the game for me but I was intrigued enough about where the story was going to just keep playing. Like I said, this may actually just be my fault but I thought it was worth mentioning.Another minor complaint, when you get to the end of the game you get a special unlock that allows your search options to come up with up to 15 matches you can scroll through to finish finding clips you may have missed whereas throughout the actual game play all matches only show up to 5. This kind of annoyed me. I see no reason that we couldn't have the 15 search results at once from the very beginning other than the dev thinking the game would end to fast. In my opinion, it would have been more enjoyable with more new content showing up with every search result, not less.I felt like in the end this game had a great concept but just needed more with less. More interesting turns with the story with way less clips to search through. I'm looking at you 'yes and no' (people who play the game will understand).

I will tell you now that this game will not be for everyone. If the trailer doesn't pull you in and you're still serious I'd suggest just waiting until it's on sale to grab it. I was infatuated with the concept of the game but at the same time I'm not sure I'd play another like it.

Maybe if my clip complaint was fixed in future games it wouldn't be as big of an issue.Spoilers I don't typically do a spoilers section but there is something I wanted to talk about.I rate this game a 6/10 and while I'll probably end up recommending it to some people I won't recommend it to everyone.Next review: The Magic Circle, Grim Fandango RemasteredI'm taking review requests. If I own it I'll play and review it.Check out my past reviews on Patientgamers:. That's a good write-up. I think they limited it to 5 clips because it gave them a way to parcel out the story in more dramatic ways.One of the things I thought was amazing about the game was that even though you can technically watch any clip at any time if you know what to search for, they wrote it in such a way that certain words were only likely to come up once you had already watched certain clips.If they'd given you access to a lot more clips for each search, you'd be able to search for more common words and get clips that would reveal more 'hidden' aspects of the story right away. By severely limiting your search results, you're forced to search for more specific topics in order to get access to the deeper parts of the narrative. It's definitely a bit of a cheat, but I thought it was an interesting way to create some sort of narrative flow while still letting you feel like you were discovering it on your own.

Yeah I didn't really figure that out at first but after finishing the game I was thinking about how it was pretty incredible that even though you seemingly have access to anything right from the beginning that the story still unfolded in a way that was dramatically satisfying to some extent. Then I realized they must have carefully written the script so that there were only certain ways to encounter important keywords so you'd likely have watched other clips before you got to it.But yeah I can see how trying to 'complete' the game would be pretty frustrating. I think I spent about 3 hours on it before I felt like I was done. I knew there were some clips I missed, but I felt satisfied that I'd uncovered the main bits of the story by then.Really curious to see what this developer's follow-up game is going to be like. It's still going to utilize FMV but is supposedly bigger in scope with more characters and locations and is somewhat of a political thriller type of story.

Factorio has kept me up into the early morning several times. It's a game about building things to build other things that you use to build more things that build things.The Fall is a really compelling short adventure game. Maybe wait for a sale if you're price-conscious.

Awesome story where you are a robot trying to get around your own programming.Fez is a magical puzzly platformery game about exploring 3 dimensions from the pespective of two-dimensional people. Everyone should play this. The dimension mechanics are amazing.Mark of the Ninja is an amazing side scrolling action stealth game. If you have any appreciation for ninjas, you gotta try this out. The sound and shadow mechanics are top-notch.Invisible Inc from the same studio, Klei. Procedural, turn-based stealth game. I put a lot of time into this one, it's fantastic.

Deterministic, so there's no% chances used in this game. It's one-hit kills but you don't do a lot of fighting. It's mostly about sneaking around the impediments using a cyber-noire assortment of keybreakers and disguises and hacking. Fucking rad game once you get passed the initial couple hours of learning curve and internalize the mechanics. Hint: just because you can knock someone out doesn't mean you should. It's better to just sneak around them if you can.Divinity Original Sin pretty high production for 'indie' but it is an independent studio working with kickstarter money.

They just came out with an amazing sequel but the original game is also excellent. Strategy turn based combat with a very interesting elemental system with lots of fun interactions (Water puts out fire and creates steam clouds which limit visibility, for example).Grow Home is a 3d platformer that harkens back to the olden days of the 90s when this genre was big. I don't really care for the genre myself, but this game is quite endearing. Fun climbing mechanics in a short, but tight and appropriately priced experience.Hyper Light Drifter was my favorite game that year. Combat was tight as hell. Very minimalist story but in an intriguing way. Best pixel art I've ever seen.

Secrets on secrets on secrets. 100% full recommendation. Spelunky - Indiana Jones-esque sidescroll platformer. One life, with sone permanent progression.

The price may be the seller's own price elsewhere or another seller's price. Laser league rc artillery. What does this price mean?This is the price (excluding shipping and handling fees) a seller has provided at which the same item, or one that is nearly identical to it, is being offered for sale or has been offered for sale in the recent past.

Cute graphics, 2D. One man team.Stardew Valley - Harvest Moon but better in every way. Cute graphics, layered three-quarter view 2D. One man team originally, full team working on multiplayer expansion releasing next spring.Dwarf Fortress - Like if the Sims and an anthill had an angry drunken baby.

And that baby chose 'base building' as it's form of teen rebellion. Techically early access, about 43% done. Incredibly rich gameplay, deep intetaction of several systems. New versions about once a year. Graphics: top down tiles, 2D 'slices' of a 3D world. You get used to it.

Two man team. This game belongs in a museum, and in fact IS in one.Rogue Legacy - Sidescrolling platformer.

Learning enemy attack patterns is everything. Proceedurally generated, so levels are different each time, focus on exploration and boss fights. Cute 2D graphics. Small team.Fez is great, but with all the people that have worked on it, I don't know if you can call it indie.

Same with Terarria and Minecraft (both of which drew inspiration from Dwarf Fortress above -it's really the granddaddy of procedurally generated gaming at this point). Crypt of the Necrodancer melds roguelike and rhythm game beautifully. Heck, it's worth a buy for the soundtrack alone.Undertale - cancerous fandom aside - is also a really good game, with likable characters, and a bombass soundtrack.Evoland 2 is one of the most unique RPGs you'll ever play. (Evoland 1 isn't all that.

The sequel is great though)Clustertruck for frenetic, high energy, short burst gameplay that's fun.Party Hard for (surprisingly) one of the best stealth/assassination games, especially in 2DDivekick for a very memey, genre parodying, but solid fighting game.Nitronic Rush for an amazing racing/platforming game. (Just a note- it's not available on Steam. It's a free download from the developers site, though)And a note to the OP: Browse sites like Gamejolt and itch.io on the regular if you're interested in indie games. There's a lot of shovelware, true, but you'll also find plenty of creative ideas and hidden gems this way.

Here's a handful of indie games that I found fun and haven't uninstalled them despite playing them thoroughly:Risk of Rain: A rogue-like 2D survival game with tons of abilities and classes with unique abilities. Spent a lot of time on this one. It has RNG elements when it comes to item upgrades and with the different classes it keeps things fresh for a long time.Salt and Sanctuary: 2D Dark Souls. Excellent atmosphere and rewarding gameplay.Lisa: This game will fuck you up emotionally. Simple turn based RPG with a pretty crazy story. Play with caution.Hacknet: Here's a bachelors in Computer Science. Except it's a game.There's a few more in the box, but most people have already mentioned it or it's dead/not solo friendly.Stardew Valley, Terraria, Crea, Depth, Screencheat, GRIP, Undertale.
