    A rare experimental game that gives a huge importance to the player's choices, and that 's not bad at all.

    Teenage Exocolonist rounds out to a moving, challenging coming-of-age story with genuine stakes and exceptional replayability. If you don’t like the way things went — and in early playthroughs, you probably won’t — there’s always your next life. There are more friends to be made, more crises to avert. With 30 potential endings, the options abound. [Polygon Recommends]

    -A bit repetitive sometimes.
    -There were some really tragic moments where i was like: ok, ok, whatever... and I consider myself a very emotional person, so...    … Full Review »

    This game is incredible and offers a unique and new experience that you must play to appreciate. A beautiful game that you will find yourselfThis game is incredible and offers a unique and new experience that you must play to appreciate. A beautiful game that you will find yourself obsessed with and thinking about even when you’re not playing, it has been a completely unexpected joy since I picked it up shortly after release on a whim. The characters are incredible. If you’ve found yourself playing an RPG, gotten bored with repetitive gameplay elements that descend into tedium, and wished you could move on to getting to know well-developed characters and making story-impacting decisions, this is the game for you. Don’t let the “teenage” in the title fool you, this game has an emotional maturity games typically lack.… Full Review »
