![]() Now, I know that’s an accusation that can be levelled at most narrative adventure games, but the best in the genre do make the player feel that their decisions have consequences. ![]() Matters of narcolepsy aren’t helped by the fact that the game doesn’t really need the player to do much. There were times when I nearly dropped off listening to Apollo – voiced by the usually brilliant Troy Baker – drone on and on. The voice-over work is slow, stilted, and stuffed with unnecessary pauses. For a game that involves a lot of talking, it’s baffling how every actor – other than Hermes, who is a vocal breath of fresh air – sounds exactly the same bored. The character design of the many NPCS you meet is striking and compelling, I just wish someone had told the voice actors to emulate that. Visually the game is reminiscent of a Bandes dessinées graphic novel and is frankly gorgeous, with an art style that is slick and exciting.

It would be amazing to be able to skip to the first choice, then skip to the second, etc. ![]() ![]() I'm currently on The Throne, and all the finicky parts that I'm trying to find are past the middle, at least three minutes in. What I'd most love to see implemented in the game is some kind of skip feature during the songs. Since I know the devs are reading this =3 I'm thoroughly obsessed and in the process of going through as many variations as I can handle. ![]()
