--- Quote from: dkamm65 on June 07, 2013, 08:37:22 PM ---I wouldn't even call it a story-driven game. The world in Dear Esther is like the pages the words of a book are written on. Their purpose is as a medium to deliver the story to the reader. As you move through the world, the story is given to you a page at a time. --- End quote --- I can understand this. But there has to be more than that for the game to be fun; to be even considered a game. There must be mechanics to keep the player engaged, otherwise it's just a chore to play and endure. |

I personally thought it was a superb game, you get really drawn into the environment and the story the narrator was telling, and it had me wanting to explore the island more and more until I'd finished the game. However, I can see how some people may have found it boring- though I never did. |

It took me about 1:40 to complete because I wandered around everywhere, and I really found myself engulfed by the story and visuals. I was not bored at all. |
