    The story is amazing! it's an emotional rollercoaster for sure and it's probably not for everyone. But I got hooked by the surprising beginning and forgot the time for 3h. The characters really come to life with some great voiceover performances so I was really sad at the end that i had to part with Louise and Mitch. I guess you can replay it for new endings but I probably won't. HoweverThe story is amazing! it's an emotional rollercoaster for sure and it's probably not for everyone.

    Great story, that warms heart. If you want to cry, laugh, this game is for you. It's like a movie, that beautifuly explains the 60s time in USA.

    Cool adventure game with great writing and memorable characters. With more coverage it may become a new classic on par with The Whispered World and Full Throttle. Will definitely play it again to unlock more endings.

    It is important to remember that Best Month Ever is a student project. Therefore it shouldn’t be put in the same bag as a product of an experienced studio. Either way, I feel many of the game’s faults came from inadequate writing. It wants to say a lot but by the end it doesn’t much at all. If all the logical and realistic inconsistencies can be ignored. The game’s overall story isn’t that bad. Even thought they have failed to explore most of the themes, there are still some heartwarming moments.

    Best Month Ever! is truly unique in its premise and setting. Stepping into the shoes of a terminally ill single mother was gut-wrenching, and navigating 1969 through the eyes of her biracial son gave me anxiety. Although I do wish my choices had a bigger impact and that more focus was given to preparing Mitch for the future instead of hanging on by my fingernails to what felt like Louise’s wild last ride, Best Month Ever! was different enough to keep me going. If you love narrative-driven games and have plenty of patience, Best Month Ever! is worth the road trip.

    BEST MONTH EVER is not only a game, but it’s also an experience that can teach us a thing or two about the troubles of our societies.
