Rockstar are lazy scumbags. The game arrives absurdly unoptimized for Windows 10 and requires several patches and mods to even work properly (most infamously is the sound issue the game is packaged with) and once it does work it may constantly freeze or crash for no discernible reason. The game itself is very fun and well made, and Sam Lake's charm runs off the comic book style panels that appear inbetween some of the most fun shooting I've ever had in a game, but this is just not worth the money. Rockstar are untalented immature hacks and they deserve nothing more than bankruptcy.

The food in this game looks like the consequences of the Iraq War.

This game had the most emotional effect on me, so much so that upon finishing it I drifted from hating it so much to loving it, and now I do both at the same time.

The game is a point and click adventure game, which I was very interested in for two reasons, the first being that I love claymation, and was interested in what they would do with that concept. The second one being the story seemed interesting.

Upon finishing the very short yet interesting opening chapter, and then easily finishing the following one, I decided that the concept, mixed in with the cool premise was worth the money, and I bought the whole thing.

From the third chapter until the end, the already intriguing story descends into a beautiful, well-orchestrated mess, and I don't think I want to be revealing any detail, because I feel like despite the hard puzzles at times, It's worth not looking at the ending of any chapter, due to how well the story flows within them.

The story does dive into many cool events due to the fact that Victor Neff, the main character, explores the dreams of his neighbors, and eventually leads a pathway he believes would help him solve his problem involving a very odd machine.

Victor, his neighbors, and the machine are all compelling characters, with Victor slowly becoming a very well written and great character I deeply enjoyed playing as, and the machine shows the many colors it contains in the oddly human personality it built itself after the many years of being "alive" and exploring everything it can.

The music adds to this atmosphere, and I only say this because I still have the game installed, just so I could listen to the in-game music again.

I am not a professional reviewer, I don't have a table of contents which I use to give a rating out of ten, and I have a very weird taste in gaming and in story-telling mechanisms (such as novels, films, etc) as a whole. But I really loved this game, and pushed myself into completing it no matter what. I almost never get this deep into a game, and there are not many stories that I constantly remember and reflect on, and with this being one of them, I felt like I should let people know that I found it a highly enjoyable experience, and that I encourage people to at least try out the first two chapters.

NOTE: Please correct any grammar/spelling mistakes you see in this, I would appreciate it very much.
