The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe review

Exceptional

by Pavel Vasilev

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.

oh yeah, we stan

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.
