Aug 31, 2022I have never seen – or played – anything like it. It’s not a game that everyone will love, but I do think it’s one that everyone should play.

Aug 30, 2022Immortality is Sam Barlow’s magnum opus and the best FMV game ever made. Manon Gage is a riotous force of an actor, accompanied by just as capable a cast, all capable of blowing up. Deep and rewarding investigation mechanics mean you too are rewarded by more of these very performances. Forty years ago at the genre’s start, ideas this broad, sweeping and memorable were inconceivable. Now they’ve arrived, serving as the mastering of technology, writing and acting, all wrapped up in a momentous and moving package. Immortality is a game-changer, utterly needing to forever be immortalised in gaming and art history.

Aug 30, 2022Immortality is Sam Barlow’s best, most thought-provoking game yet, and a barnstorming debut for Half Mermaid.

Aug 30, 2022The most ambitious and intense Sam Barlow's game is a brilliant interactive mockumentary about movies and our relationship with the sense o narration. Thanks to a sleek and precise game mechanic and a clever management of a very thin fourth wall, Immortality plays with both cinema and video game languages, using them both to deliver a deep story with different layers. If you like FMV adventures and Sam Barlow's games, it's definitely a groundbreaking game.

Sep 5, 2022Immortality is Sam Barlow's masterpiece, a great drama that revolves around life meaning and the real role of art.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 25, 2024All I can promise you is that if you start looking for Marissa Marcel, you won't be able to get her out of your head, which is actually a pretty big compliment in today's blizzard indistinguishable games. [Issue#322]

Sep 1, 2022Immortality is the antithesis of the belief that games are an art form, as its lofty attempts to establish prestige are built upon the language of another medium entirely (cinema). It relies on the spectacle of the project alone and not the substance, leaving an empty shell confident in but not convinced of its own self-importance.
