    Rain of Reflection: Chapter 1 has a winning formula of narrative and gameplay that, despite not being a traditional pairing, form an excellent symbiosis. The systems will all be familiar to fans of interactive storytelling games and XCOM-likes, but they’ve all been implemented so cleanly that they feel fresh. The only real negative is its short runtime, which leaves you wishing the developers had waited to release the entire game at once.

They'd show him how to make a narrative adventure game that can offer a cinematic experience AND some proper gameplay mechanics at the same time, instead of filling interactive sequences with rubbish QTE.

    I don't think I've ever seen an indie game with AAA vibe as strong as in Rain of Reflections. It looks amazing on screens and even *better* in action... for a 3D game developed by an indie studio that can't afford performance capture, that is. Of course, it's not only about graphics or atmosphere. Story and gameplay (with clever hacking puzzles and well designed tactical encounters) are captivating as well.

    But enough of it, just buy the game already. Truth be told, we all need you to do it so that we can get Chapters 2 and 3 in the best shape possible... Seriously, it's just 9,99$ (or even less on sale), so stop overthinking it ;-)    … Full Review »
