  • Summary: Dear Esther immerses you in realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. As you step forwards, a voice begins to read fragments of a letter: 'Dear Esther...' - and so begins a journey through one of the most original first-person games of recent years.

    Dear Esther: Landmark Edition - переиздание с обновленной графикой и с обновленным саундтреком. Экспериментальная компьютерная игра,Dear Esther: Landmark Edition - переиздание с обновленной графикой и с обновленным саундтреком. Экспериментальная компьютерная игра, разработанная независимой студией The Chinese Room для Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X и Linux. Изначально Dear Esther представляла собой модификацию на движке Source к шутеру Half-Life 2. Dear Esther вышедшая в 2012, стала игрой своего времени, расположившейся между The Stanley Parable (2011) и The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (2014). Симулятор ходьбы, который ставит в первую очередь историю, а не захватывающий экшен, не дающий времени на размышления. Музыка и графика действительно хороши, особенно если играть в переиздание 2016 года (Dear Esther: Landmark Edition).

    Симулятор ходьбы с приятной музыкой и авторскими вкраплениями
    Эпизод с пещерой был красив, а больше мне понравилась концовка - ночь, ветер, вышка.
    Так же советую играть с русском озвучкой от GameVoice

    To fully appreciate Dear Esther, you have to let go of what a game should be, and embrace the pacing.

    Things can be mysterious, but there is no mystery to solve. I think the most important thing is to not try to make "sense" of the island, but become like a paper boat on water, wander where the paths lead you, and feel different emotions.

    I think is not possible to fully experience the ending if you don't let go beforehand.

    great atmosphere - the music and narration were both excellent, and the visuals complemented the story really well. Unfortunately, I nevergreat atmosphere - the music and narration were both excellent, and the visuals complemented the story really well. Unfortunately, I never really felt like I had any significant grasp of the story, so it was hard to feel very engrossed in the game at any point.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Expand

    Five Word Review: Walking simulator, not much else.
    Favorite Thing: The caves were quite beautiful. Also, the narration is quite well done.

    Favorite Thing: The caves were quite beautiful. Also, the narration is quite well done.
    Least Favorite Thing: There was no intrigue; nothing to keep me going or make me care what was next.

    Playtime: 1h
    Enjoyment: 4/10
    Recommendation: Try Firewatch or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter instead.
