This month we look at the follow up to one of my top games of 2014, The Fall Part 2: Unbound.
While there was a lot of discuss about The Fall 2, so we got a good meaty discussion, I wasn’t as into it as I was the first one. It had all that delicious philosophical material regarding identity and consciousness that captured my attention in the first game. It’s the sort of thing specifically made for me. Yet, I only thought it was fine. That might have more to do with how well I regarded the first game than anything really negative I could say about the second game.
At least until the latter half of the game. The puzzles weren’t as well constructed. Maybe the designers were being too cleaver with the metaphors of them instead of user interface or direction. Too much trial and error. Ah well.
