Early Access Review
This game is a 6/10, and part of enjoying it is hoping it gets better. The missions as they are definitely drag on and on, with lots of "chores" (go here, turn on power. Go there, unlock this door), which stretches out the gameplay with large blocks of wandering. I hope these levels get reworked into much tighter experiences. Currently the game is very slow, but even as a fan of slow games like GTFO, this one feels like it stretches at times. The AI is serviceable, especially with new updates. Weapon customization and handling is very nice, you can go surprisingly in-depth there w/ things like canted sights and IR lasers.

TLDR: 6/10 game with a lot of potential, hopefully gets tightened more and ups the scary factor

it's fun with friends, there's a good amount of content and the core is very strong. Suspects are challenging to deal with and their behavior is unpredictable enough to keep things interesting. There's small QoL updates that could be nice, since ending missions can get annoying when you're searching for the last civilian or a suspect's gun that might have fallen through the floor. Other than that, very solid game that offers hours of fun

This is probably the most lovingly made and beautiful game (art direction not polygon count or any dumb stuff like that) that I have ever seen. Bioshock Infinite was my favorite gaming world before this and I still love Columbia for its Steampunk beauty but this is something else. The effort and dedication put into each level and set-piece is astounding coming from an Indie developer. Also, there is no combat so far so there is more time to let the beautiful setting take you away (unlike Bioshock Infinite where almost constant combat did not leave enough time to enjoy the beauty of the city). Before objectives you can run free and explore the villages and whatnot where every little detail put into the world makes it worthwhile. Also, there is no stress of combat put upon the player so this is a truly relaxing experience. Now for the gameplay itself. The gameplay is simply platforming and grappling hook puzzles that manage to be challenging while not too punishing. Certain puzzles may leave you frustrated at times but when you overcome the obstacle you feel accomplished. However, one small mistake leaves you to die and a slightly miscalculated jump will end your life. Thus, the game becomes slightly challenging. Furthermore, the game is beautifully narrated as a father telling a child a bedtime story and the childhood mysticism with foreign lands and new experiences is beautifully realized in an almost Seussian manner. In the story, I noticed subtle commentry by the narrator on topics such as racism and over-pollution of earth which I found very interesting. Throughout the narration, you feel the narrator pining for love from a father figure, even going as far as to relate to other species, which he says shouldn't be normal, being as they are, frog people (thus the commentry on racism). Overall, "A Story About My Uncle" is an absolutely amazing game from very skilled developers with many endearing qualities and is absolutely worth every single penny and more.
