Best of Us

I played the demo. It was great. I was looking forward to this but after playing full game, feel very disappointed. Excruciatingly short, only slightly longer than the demo. Almost zero character development. This character is doing that and another character doing the opposite,which one you will follow? Almost couldn't care of what is happening at all. Story progressed way too fast. Disappointed as author's previous release was extremely good and with promising demo, fell awfully short of expectation. 3/10 Best of Us? Definitely not.

note: this review is done based entirely on first impressions through one playthrough. there's no shortage of superhero choice of games, from heroes rise to community college hero, and this one was one i wanted to fill space inbetween time of those new releases. /however/, it doesn't seem long enough to fill that timespan. the plot is roughly the same as marvel's civil war - are you with the government or are you against it concerning power regulation? wanting to go against the grind, i said i was with it. apparently that was the wrong choice because after i did that the game kinda peetered on for a while before abruptly stopping. nothing of consequence happened after that because it honestly felt like the game was only halfway through when it actually ended. it was like the author just kinda...gave up after half of the game was done and said 'well, this was good enough.' and yeah, it was alright, but the other two games have a similar atmosphere and are far far longer and more detai...

This is a direct quote from the Dev of Choice of Games by supporting this game you are supporting the worldview of Anita Sarkeensian.This game is an extenstion of her views. A screen shot showing the Dev saying this. "Choice Of Games embodies the same view of Antia Sarkeensian." End quote Antia Sarkeenian is a person who misleads even her own fans, calls games and some gamers sexist or objective to females. I was told not to buy their games unless I did agree with her world view. This is the Owner of Choice of Games saying that. The Screen Shot will confirm it. http://postimg.org/image/ewcujnjqv/

[b]Overview:[/b] Update: After a few more playthroughs I'm changing this review to "Not Recommended". Best of Us has some fun moments, but it's overall a very mediocre game. Especially when compared to some of the other offerings from Choice of Games and their Hosted Games. If you're really bored and are not expecting a character driven masterpiece, you can get a fun couple hours out of this. As usual, I suggest playing through the demo several times before buying. [b]Pros:[/b] Modern day/real world setting. No need to learn an entire pantheon of alien gods or to read a thousand year backstory, we already understand where the story is set. A Minor Spoiler: [spoiler]While there are some unanswered questions, there are no major cliff hangers at the ending. This is a pro to me, anyway.[/spoiler] [b]Other:[/b] This game is a relatively short one, my first playthrough took me about 2 hours. More on that below. [b]Cons:[/b] A fairly large cast and a shorter game length mea...

I like a lot about this game, when we get to be involved, it's fun, and creating the character was interesting, and let me to believe my choices would matter. However, it didn't see to come into play at all. Most of the game seems to be random skipping ahead, some summaries of what has been happening and such, it feels like a book that's missing half it's chapters. The story is rushed ahead, not given a chance to flow naturally. The game feels really unfinished and it ends really abruptly. It feels a bit like a short story that's been tweaked a little to fit into the game engine, but everything about the main character and choices is just brushed over.

Most of the reviews are fairly accurate. I've played a few of these Choice of CYOA games, and for the most part, they at least leave me satisfied. This one, however, was way too short. I've attempted multiple playthroughs, and the options are very limited, and the story more so. The major downsides: -ZERO character development -Zero meaningful interactions -Rushed plot -Excessive grammatical errors -Jarring transitions between "scenes" (Due to a seriously rushed plot) -Bland story It initially had potential, but quickly fell apart after the first couple pages. The description of the game is pretty false. It's only mildly entertaining, and I would advise only buying this if it's on sale 75% or more.

This game was a bit disappointing to be honest. It did have a good premise t o it however there was a complete lack of interaction with character and I mean proper interaction because sometimes no matter what you chose the outcome would be the same creating the illusion of choice and this made things very linear in the story and when dealing with characters in the story. It did have however a very interesting character build format which is unique to the game, unfortunately some of these powers and abilities you choose feel underused and pointless. Overall i'd say that its an okay game but its not great either, I'd really recommend playing other choice of game and hosted games first. If you're looking for super power based stories i could recommend The Hero Project which is a triology that whilst has a more limited set of powers it has a much better story with characters.

A lot of inconsistences and failure to track important choices. Here are just a few: -Escaped from an unknown person early on but later in the story that person spoke with me as if we knew each other. -Had the ability to teleport but at one point only tried to physically run away from a dangerous situation and at another point was tied up without an option to teleport away. -Avoided all fights but was scolded by someone for my murderous ways. Could use editing and an update, but don't see that as likely to happen.

Definitley worth playing but it feels like it was cut short and in the end only the first power I picked seemed to matter the others didn't really affect much.

This was an interesting story that honestly had a lot of potential. That's the problem though... none of the potential was used. This story was over before I knew it, and I really didn't feel like my choices mattered very much. I was just finally getting into the story whenever it was over. I'm going to have to give this a 3/10.
