![]() ![]() Think of a First-Person Bionic Commando, or Spider-Man, and you’re on the right track. What makes it special is the use of the Adventure Suit which basically give you gives you superpowers perfect for traversing the world. It’s all about platforming and figuring out how to get from point A to point B. But unlike DICE’s title, this game has no combat to speak of. There’s just this sense of speed, momentum, and vertigo inside of the game that rivals experiences like Mirror’s Edge. ![]() Although the plot is fairly rudimentary, if these family members all felt more real and connected, the entire game could’ve been lifted a little higher.īad acting and mediocre story aside, once you make your first jump in A Story About My Uncle, you’ll be hooked. ![]() The thing that makes it so disappointing is that these characters could actually be endearing. It’s all really noticeable, and really bad. The narrator, who has more lines than anyone, has the worst performance of the bunch as he creates awkward pauses and breaks throughout his sentences. Characters feel more like they’re reading lines than actually acting. Then there’s also the problem with the voice acting. You’ll understand what’s going on, but I always felt a weird disconnect when the characters in the game would speak to you, and the narrator would respond indirectly. As the narrator, he describes everything that’s happening. Your character, all grown up, is telling the story to his daughter. The plot is actually the least interesting piece of the game and the way it’s presented is even worse. I mean, it’s a “story” after all, right? Wrong. Based on its title, I felt like A Story About My Uncle would have a deep focus on its narrative. ![]()
