    Despite its ups and downs, the whole mystery surrounding Marissa Marcel is fascinating and deserves to be discovered in order to understand how video games, even supported by cinematic techniques, remain the best plastic material to mold unique ideas, stories and sensations. [Recommended]

    Sam Barlow's epic mystery of self-reference and cinema is an elaborate, ingenious enigma - one that would be even better if it didn't want to be solved.

    Immortality, the latest from Her Story creator Sam Barlow, is a game that functions like a movie. Its excitement lies within clever or opulent shots, lines delivered with pleasurable believability, and an alluring plot. But it has a real bad attitude about art.

    The only way to fully appreciate the scope of this project, flaws and all, is to throw all expectations of story and structure out the window, and realize that the simplistic divide between film and games is holding us back from doing so much more with either medium. [Polygon Recommends]
  5. You can like it for the formidable performances and the unbelievable replications of different periods of cinema, for the sets, the artistry, the surprises, the big thinking and the weirdness hiding just the other side of the curtain, for the attention to detail and the vaulting ambition, for the way it's thoughtful in how it stages certain things. But, for me, Immortality wasn't as thoughtful about other things. Perhaps I've just had enough of Sam Barlow's ideas about women on camera for a little bit. I'd quite like him to have ideas about something else next time.

    Immortality gets under your skin; flickers subliminally in your head. It becomes a part of you, whether you want it to, or not.

The mistery, the movies, the characters, everything absorbed me and obsessed me. Recording 3 full movies, extremely well-acted and with a great plot, just as the backdrop of a bigger mistery is mindblowing. Full Review »
