![]() It also feels natural - and depressingly on point - to see Daniel exploited by religious folk trying to cash in on his “miracle” abilities.Īh, that well-known casino game, "Spaghetti". Not only does it give Sean the necessary motivation to find his brother, it lets them tie in threads from earlier chapters such as the appearance of the Diaz brothers’ mother, Karen. Making Daniel the unwitting centre of a cult was therefore a stroke of genius by the game’s writers. Daniel may only be ten years old, but some of the things he said and the actions he took in previous episodes stretched credibility far more than his telekinesis. It might seem odd that having one of the central characters absent for three-quarters of the game raises its quality, but Daniel has been getting progressively more annoying since discovering he had powers back in Roads. Let’s start with one of my favourites: a lack of screen time for Daniel. There are so many great things going on in these two hours that it’s difficult to pick a highlight. To my surprise I don’t have the slightest idea how this rollercoaster ride will end or how the supernatural events fit into the story but I sure can’t wait to find out and really am hoping for a happy ending.Life Is Strange fans should also rejoice because Faith is a return to form for a season which stuttered badly after its brilliant first chapter. It hits you hard with emotions and leaves things looking grim. I felt worse.Įven with the low points in this episode it’s one of the strongest in the saga. When the teaser for the final episode played I didn’t feel any better. Instead I needed time to take everything in. I usually skip the credits so I can see the teaser for the next episode sooner but I didn’t this time around. Not long after was the shocking twist ending. It made my heart sink and left me feeling uneasy. When I did put the pieces together Max and Chloe immediately headed to the location and that’s when the tone turned dark. At least with the clue puzzle I was making progress until I figured it out. It simply took too long and reminded me of when I hunted everywhere to find the last bottle in the junk yard. It’s obtuse and I had to wait for Max’s voiceover a few times to help me out. You reach a point where Max has to sort out and connect everything from Nathan, David, and others in an attempt to locate where Kate was taken. What I did mind, and the lowest point of episode 4 for me, was relating the clues you’ve gathered. ![]() ![]() Regarding pacing the beginning of Dark Room is slow but that’s due to it being full of narrative which didn’t bother me. Does Chloe still have posession of the gun? Were you able to help Kate a couple episodes back? Did you decide to spare Frank’s aggressive guard dog? All of these choices reveal their consequences to you throughout this episode. With that said the between Frank, Chloe, and Max revealed how much your decisions in previous episodes matter. It felt out of place….especially when he sends Max a text towards the end of the episode wishing Max and Chloe luck. Dark Room doesn’t have much action and generally moves at a snale’s pace with some of the moments, one in particular with Frank, leaving me scratching my head in disbelief. While the alternate reality carried a weightless choice it was interesting to see the what if scenario. After giving it some thought I made my decision but in the end my choice carried zero weight since you end up reverting back to a point before the events happened. I put the controller down and pondered for a bit how my choice could ripple out. ![]() The first major decision you’re met with is gut wrenching. Saving one life takes another if you choose to do so and doesn’t leave any characters better off. A reality where saving the life of one person doesn’t really save them because they end up drowning in the alternate consequences that take place. Without spoiling much episode 3 ends with you in an alternate reality. ![]() The latest installment to what is becoming my favorite episodic game and contender for game of the year cranks it up to eleven throughout most of its duration. The twitterverse exploded over the unforeseen twist ending in episode 4 Dark Room. ![]()
