’s post-Me Too movement commentary is hollow because of this. Instead of breaking ground for social commentary in video games, the game relies on platitudes to retell a story we’ve heard done better, more creatively, and with more conviction before. Barlow’s game is unsure of what it believes and, instead of rejoicing in its clear admiration for cinema, sex, and the craft of filmmaking, it cries and self-flagellates.
It can’t even express penance well because its cast, for the most part, is unable to reach the ideal middle-ground between expressionless and overblown. Partly for this reason, Marissa is a disappointing protagonist, and Gage’s performance is regrettably one-note . Marissa, despite all the posturing Barlow has imbued her with, comes across as a caricature of moralism, a sweet teenager corrupted and destroyed by her art as she aged.
“Marissa isn’t wearing any panties,” one character repeats salaciously before and after they shoot a scene. To this I thought, it’s 2022, am I really expected to interpret going commando as the peak of sexual deviance?Another line I keep thinking about is Carl telling Marissa that when he was “driving in from the airport” into New York City for the film“It’s kind of a dark place, isn’t it?” he says.
I legit can't believe I read through this. Ashley completely missed the deeper Layer in this game and how the characters tie into the name of the game, Immortality. She focused so hard on the male/female tropes that she missed the entire dissection of it. Tragic review.
Having played 8 hours of the game, the TL;DR of this review: 'tell me you didn't understand the game without telling me you didn't understand the game.' It reads like an English Lit essay cooked up last minute by a student who only read half the novel.
You know the review is not reliable if it has the word Kotaku on it
Oh, and they didn't clearly finish the game. Take away this person's review card, they fail at interpretation.
Awful review. Person who wrote this is more concerned with being 'woke' than enjoying the game. Also, they spoil the hidden gameplay hook in the first two paragraphs. Brilliant.
This game is on game pass so I know Kotaku shit on it without even clicking the bait 😂
I will not click on your review.
Game is getting rave reviews…naturally Kotaku calls it disappointing 🤣!
