    This is easily one of the most visually beautiful games I’ve ever played. Every scene looks completely insane, like whoever made this was on LSD.

    visually beautiful. (though personally I found it mostly odd, and that's probably the point) story = character growth only happens to the main character, otherwise the rest don't change or learn anything. the points of contention were glossed over. gameplay = it's a walking simulator whilst holding shift to 'play' a guitar, and some added kids simon says functionality. you know that kids game where the green light…
