Anamorphine

Product received for free The narrative related to the elaboration of mourning, which crosses delicate nuances such as depression and the sense of loss has now been cleared also in video games. There are now far the times when the medium in question was reserved exclusively for the role of a mere entertainer, relegated to a range of users who sought only an easy fun. Those who today affirm the opposite are simply ignorant, bluntly. The genre of walking simulator has strongly embraced the autorial and/or social approach to video games, giving us pearls of incredible narrative and sensory beauty such as Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch; Anamorphine wants to be alongside the major exponents of the genre with a delicate story, centered on a couple who are victims of an unpleasant but trivial event, but which will lead to a disastrous epilogue. The debut of Artifact 5 tries with all its strength to become a classic of the genre, presenting an important story, a staging of good level and an interesting form. Unfortunately for them, not everything went as planned and what we are facing today is a title that only works in the middle. Let's start immediately by saying that Anamorphine is not born for virtual reality; The support to the VR has been inserted post launch and does not support neither Roomscale nor motion controllers (if not used as a simple joypad). If we take into analysis the title flat, Anamorphine is like a good walking simulator, thanks to incredibly suggestive moments, a story not particularly original but effective and a good artistic direction. Played on the screen, the title of Artifact 5 can easily become one of the best walking simulator you will play this year, since despite not absolutely touching the peaks of the genre maintains from its a discreet interpretation of the theme and a handful of Interesting flashes.
