    The Longest Walk is a deeply personal biographical documentary walking simulator game about my father's experience of living with depression and suicidal thoughts. The game was created using audio recorded from a 54-minute-long interview that I conducted with my dad, which was then edited into this approximately 9-and-a-half minute long playable experience.    … Expand

My only real complaint is that with walking sims like this the environment can play a large part in the experience and in this case it was strange. I liked how the world around you sort of sprung up as you traversed through it but it seemed to lack detail. I actually thought it was a graphical glitch until I looked at more screenshots. This didn’t ruin the game but a stronger environment could have added to an already great story. As it was this could have been reduced to an audio recording with a black screen and almost had the same effect. I also would recommend to not have the Esc key quit the game as most games use that key to bring up a main menu instead. When you have no save system this is a bad idea.

    I played The Longest Walk on Linux using Proton. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any spelling errors. There is no saves at all nor is there any options at all. You can’t disable subtitles either. Since the game lacks a v-sync option some people have noticed that their GPUs ran at 100% and got very hot because it was rendering the game at high frame rates. I saw these high frame rates but I also saw some very low ones that was strange given the visual quality not justifying them.

    Game Engine: Unreal Engine
    Graphics API: DXVK

    CPU Usage: 18-26 %
    RAM Usage: 2.9-3.4 GB
    Frame Rate: 34-210 FPS

    Overall I do recommend The Longest Walk. Despite some technical short comings the strength of the story carries it and made it enjoyable. I finished the game in twenty minutes.

    5,5/10 - Średnia
    (po graniu 15 min i ukończeniu gry)
    Chodzenie przed siebie i słuchanie monologu narratora o jego depresji.
    Za mało treści, za mało morału, za mało gry.

    Raczej bardziej do wysłuchania i trochę obejrzenia, niż zagrania.

    Wizualnie ciekawa.
    Ładne miejsca, ale bardzo małe i jest ich tylko kilka.
    Gra jest szalenie krótka.

    Nie ma tu menu, nie ma ustawień, a "ESC" wyłącza grę, więc można się zdziwić próbując pominąć napisy.
    Z jakiegoś powodu odpala mi SteamVR przy starcie, mimo że gra nie jest w VR... a szkoda, że nie jest.

    Źle się z tym czuję, że oceniam niezbyt dobrze grę o tak poważnej tematyce    … Expand
