the Line

I have struggled 9 hours to finish and understand how to play this game, this game is not made for everyone, but also for those sames reasons i suggest you to play it ! I've never been so well surprised while playing this game, the atmosphere, consepts, just the graphism that i find really clever by using collage (which i've never seen before in a game) really made this game that i thought dull, actualy pretty addictive. If you want to experience something different in video games, you should really try this one (but be sure to check out the beginers guide, dont be an idiot like me and mess up 9 hours on it the first time). PS : Marginal Acts, I'll sure be checking your other games :)

The game has an interesting visual aesthetic and the world that it sets you down in is compelling (if confusing). A lot of things aren't explained well and the game expects you to figure out a lot on your own, which would be okay if the game didn't randomly crash or freeze while you're playing. Any time you initiate a sequence where you or the dog are doing the exploration minigame, the game freezes and it's impossible to make progress. Since searching for items and bartering those items to move ahead in the line is a core component of the gameplay, this is a gamebreaking bug which makes the game unplayable. I like the look of the game and could overlook its quirks with regard to controls and storytelling, but nobody should be paying money for this when it's essentially broken.

I really wanted to like this game. It has quite a unique look and atmosphere. It is very buggy however. The biggest issue is that when you try to explore the game crashes. Since you need to explore to get ahead in the game, it is virtually unplayable.

Strange game with strange graphics Slight minus because of the bad english. Combat becomes easier and easier, but if you ever die, it will be hard Redommended just for the weirdness factor alone.

the Line is an artistic fever dream with an intresting premise. Your main objective is to stand out the long line, waiting for resetttlment from the oppressive east segment of the City. No one has the time in their life to wait out the line so you have choices on how you choose to proceed: Barter with people with for their spot, Fight them for their spot, or Expose their weakness (after a "pyschic" puzzle) Unsettling art and sound choices contribute to an uneasy atmosphere. The "pit" and weakness puzzles were simple, and optional. I enjoyed the variety of ways you can get through the line. The fighting was turn-based but you can play completely pacifist if you so choose; I imagine that would take much longer than me which it only took me about 1HR to play through the game (granted, I farmed for antidepressants so I could buyout my skill tree) so I started off very strong after encountering .... something interesting, at position 60 of the beginning of the line. While I don't think I'...

"The Line" has great audio and exceptional art being collaged with deformed-dystopian renaissance assets, which make for a great atmosphere (probably the best selling point). You play a female protagonist with a mutated pet, being forced by executives to resettle to another part of a grim urban environment, ultimatively standing in a long line of refugees and attacking, pursuing or bargaining your way forward (or simply by waiting). Some elements are randomised (item drop and enemies) and these aspects could lead to a great experience, unfortunately it is quite buggy: (This was mentioned by the community before) The scavenge-minigames work sometimes, sometimes they just freeze your game, the trap mechanics in Act II don't seem to work at all, your battle animation can lock into your movement and sometimes you cannot interact with NPC's although everything feels like you should. I mean, I don't mind obscure, hidden and crude in terms of presentation or mechanics, but this clearly seems...

I just really love the aesthetics of this game!

I felt pain playing this game and couldn't finish it. 10/10

the mini games keep freezing if you enter as the dog which you don't know beforehand and it's a rather confusing bizarre art project instead of an actual game overall but some people might enjoy this. everyone has a different taste. as of now because of the freeze bug this game is unplayable. check for patches clarifying that this bug has been dealt with before buying this game.

[b] Вкратце: [/b] рекомендую эту игру любителям оригинального стиля, интересных идей и простого затягивающего геймплея. Не рекомендую тем, кто не готов мириться с багами и разбираться в том, как вообще играть. [b] Плюсы: [/b] + Очень интересный визуальный ряд в стиле коллажей дадаистов + Разные персонажи в разных районах города, с уникальными и неожиданными анимациями атаки ([spoiler] беременная женщина, за которую дерется ее ребенок из живота — это что-то [/spoiler]) + Поначалу сложный, но ближе к концу простой геймплей, в какой-то момент затягивающий с голов...
