FUN: If you like story driven games and comedy with a side of drama, then you will enjoy this game. This game is straight forward with what you need to do next and it is on the short side (about 2-3 hours depending on if you non-stop play it), but the witty banter and how you can change it when choices pop up will leave you with chuckles in each Act and Area. FUN - 1.5.
REPLAY: Since this is a kind of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure with the choices you make when given. I say this does have slight replay value since the story is short and if you choose one path in one playthrough you can choose the other in the 2nd playthrough as well as if you what you hear the witty voice acting of the story. REPLAY - 1.
STORY: Since this a story driven game, I will only say the beginning to not spoil anything. You play as Stone, a Koala, who wakes up after a major hangover and gets a call from a mystery caller saying that Alex, his lover, is gone. Now it's up to Stone to try and find Alex. STORY - 2.
DIFFERENCE/ORIGINALITY: This game Is like many other Nior type games. Search for clues, question people, go from place to place. However, The way that the characters are and how Stone is is quite unique due to everyone is Animals from Australia and that the voice acting fits each character well enough to be relatable. Also the areas you go to are more present day instead of classic Nior era dark tones. DIFFERENCE/ORIGINALITY - 1.
GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is short and sweet. No signs of any from of difficulty whatsoever. The only controls you use is the Control stick and the A Button (I played this on the switch mind ya). GAMEPLAY - 2.
TOTAL - 7.5/10.
There you go. My review for Stone. Hope this review peeks your interest to try this game out. I would like to thank Convict Games for giving me a copy to play this game. This has been Nostalgic Gamer 89. Until Next time, Keep on Gaming!
