Rate top games7/10. First game I ever played, and it was so mind-blowing at the time. Still might be to some people. Either way, very fun and funny with amazing narration.

A different game, is very confusing at the beginning but when you start feeling what the game can offered you will enjoy it a lot!
The Stanley Parable. Quite a quest. What an adventure. Walking. Paths. Endings. Top humour. A genius narrator, and we mustn't forget our dear Stanley.
It's a walking simulator, but its EXCELLENT. Recommended without hesitation.

I can't say much here, as I don't want to spoil it. Play the game. Just do it. The gameplay may not be exhilarating, but it never needed to be. The story may not be exhilarating, but it never needed to be. This is one of those games that will make you stand back in awe, multiple times, before diving back in for another run. It will blow your mind open, and make you think about games in a way you never had before. This game is the father of meta-games, and does what so many others have tried and failed to do: make you question your own reality as the gamer.

Yeah . Started awesome . I got bored after finding 7 endings. maybe I'll check them slowly one by one. Great concept and the narrator's interactions were funny and awesome.
The Stanley Parable is more than a video game, it's an existential essay on video games themselves.
One of the first in the genre of "walking simulator" games, The Stanley Parable follows the titular character, Stanley, as he explores an office devoid of other people. His job had been to watch a computer screen and push the buttons on the keyboard as the screen directed. A direct parallel to what we do when we play a video game.
However, once you've broken out of the rote actions of responding to the output of the video screen, you can explore the true nature of narrative construction and presentation that only the Video Game format can provide. There's 18 different endings, and each play through the game exposes another layer of genius.
You can beat the game in less than five minutes, but it can take hours to explore the whole thing.
Unfortunately, to talk any further without spoilers really requires you to have played the game already. So do it! It's easy to throw around terms like "Exceptional," but this game is the cream of the crop.
It's a perennial Steam Sale classic and deserves a slot in everyone's game inventory.
