By modern standards, there isn't much of a "game" here, but it was still one of the best games I've played in a while. Everything was so well-written and voiced, with amazing visuals and music to back it up, that I really got immersed in the world and story. And no game has made me laugh so hard in a while. I got it on the cheap through the Humble Bundle, and it would be hard to argue the game is worth $25, but for 8-10 hours of really good game, it may be worth it for some.

If you like story-telling and great humor, you'll love Broken Age.

I want to write something about the Beginner's Guide. Something poetic, something brave, or clever, or emotional. I want to be angry, or judgemental, and I feel like these are things that I should feel. But I can't. This is the single hardest game that I have ever played. Maybe it's because I see myself in Coda. Or maybe I see myself in Davey. I can't get over the overwhelming feeling that I have played a game that was never meant to be played. At least not by me. This is actually art. I don't mean in the pretentious "Video games are art," way. This is the only game that, to me, actually conveyed emotion. I'm not really sure whose emotion, or what emotion is even being conveyed. I hate to sound like an English Literature teacher, but this game actually and deeply conveyed an indescribeably complex and dark part of the human expierence.

This game hurts.

There goes my life...
