The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe review

While this game is rather simple in executing, the branching narrative and goofiness is expertly executed. It's very cheeky and fun and with the new version there is even more options and dialogue for the bucket. I think this is a great example of a game standing out and being more than just a game. The way it stretches into parody and satire while breaking the 4th wall at times is great.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a definite must play. Best to go in with as little information as possible. That is because this game is a walking simulator that lives and dies by how much you enjoy the writing. Needless to say, the writing in this game is absolutely stellar. It is a great joy to experience. Especially thanks to its laundry list of endings and little diversions that you can experience. I won't delve any deeper though, as that would spoil the game. Stop reading reviews and just go and play this one.

This game was like $5 on the Xbox store, and I was looking for a game to cure my boredom at the time, and this for sure did that.  This game reeled me in for quite a bit and I felt like I got enough out of the game to stop looking for more endings.  I recommend if you have nothing else to do and enjoy exploring endless branching narratives and walking sims.

incredible game!

Davey Wreden is a mastermind. This game takes the meta-humor of the original and bumps it up to new existential, emotional, and surreal heights. By the end of it all, I was left with an overwhelming appreciation for the beauty, and absurdity, of the video game medium. A truly one of a kind experience that is not to be missed.
