Immortality Reviews - OpenCritic

Amazing!

[Legend]

By far their best reviewing game. Her Story is at 85 and Telling Lies is 79.

I'm hyped to play it.

Whats this

puzzle game. If you love them play this.  If you are indifferent to them this is probably too hardcore of a puzzle game for you to care about. I feel like legend and i are the only ones hardcore enough about puzzle game to care about this.  

...and i very much care about this.   I'm annoyed her story never made it to ps.

What the heck was this garbage?

I just finished the game. The writing, acting, and everything else related to the videos is superb. Amazing accomplishment. The gameplay however is just trash. They threw away everything that made the last 2 games special. A youtube playlist with all the videos in a jumbled order would probably be more satisfying. I understand individual reviewers giving it 9s and 10s but I really really really don't understand how the average score is this high.

This review snippet sums it up well.

"Immortality lacks the satisfying detective work found in Her Story and Telling Lies, instead opting for randomness and an almost complete lack of control as to what part of the game you're wanting to explore. The story itself is enjoyable to piece together, but finding each piece is a frustrating and deeply repetitive process."

6/10

that's what happens when a puzzle game is reviewed by someone that. doesn't like puzzle games I guess.

also this game was getting pumped by the gamepass fanboys. I feel like there have been a few poorly executed games reviewing high just due to the attention of a day-1 gamepass release.  like the medium and probably scorn.   stray may have had that problem too.

I'm near 100% completion with the game. I only have one story element I'm missing. EDT: got that story element, was nothing.

Steam doesn't have a lot of reviews but the impression there is way more balanced.


EDT2:

I'm just getting more and more confused by the incredible reviews. I'd expect something closer to Erica at 71, with some people loving it for the FMV and other people hating it for the gameplay.

A remake of the game with 100% new gameplay could be pretty cool but it'd still have fundamental flaws.
