The Assembly
Genre: Walking Simulator / Exploration
Perspective: 1st Person
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐🔹🔹
💙Summary (TLDR):
I think of this game as a positive, relaxed experience and if you like calm walking sims that focus on story and exploration without any combat or enemies you might quite like it. I enjoyed my time with it!
The Positives
This game is basically a walking simulator with some puzzles thrown in but the story kept me interested enough to keep going and the endings were decent - but don’t expect anything grand or special or you’ll be disappointed! (Personally I liked the “bad” ending better than the “good” one. It was the “morally more correct one”… but that’s personal preference!)
I liked the female MC’s personality. She accepted her fate but also never let a chance slip by to make a quick stab at her captors. Also for me personally she wasn’t obnoxious, she was vulnerable in some situations and tried to be strong in others! (something I rarely see nowadays, it’s always the boring boss babe attitude… Listen, I’m a woman but I can’t stand that one-dimensional lame character design!)
The male MC was funny. Seemed like a nice guy but his voice was so monotone he seemed like he was simply tired of everyone else’s BS and just wanted his weekend to arrive to take a nap but somehow that made him likeable :’) He’s all of us on a monday morning at work.
I do not want to spoil anything so I will simply put it like this: …they actually made it there? I was expecting them not to. That was actually a shocker. A positive shock. From the general outcome of games you do not expect them to make it x’D
The “Not So Goods”
I mean, it gets explained lore-wise in-game but the world felt empty. Dr. Stone makes total sense since she is in trials so no one should be there but even if it is - as I said - explained in-game for Caleb it felt very empty as well… like, the moments where he conveniently slips past people, hearing them but not seeing or meeting them… I seriously got the feeling that was done more for not having to animate character models to walk by rather than immersion and such :’)
