    The Stanley Parable isn't a dumb game, but neither is it a very smart game. This is an issue because it very clearly believes itself to be the most clever game ever made. There is little, if any, substance behind the swagger. It's quaint to imagine a time when a game like this was novel, but that time has long, long since past.

    Personal Standup

    Amm it's not a game, it's a show / performance / standup, soooo you need to know about it. I don't understand why it's in games section and why it's so overrated. So I don't want to use ordinary game scoring like visual, gameplay, story etc., but describe my feelings. So, I like the idea, but it is such a boring performance. To be honest I waste about 3-4 hours on    Personal Standup

    So, I like the idea, but it is such a boring performance. To be honest I waste about 3-4 hours on this and every time I thought that yeah narrator tell some funny "gamers insights" buuut I don't want to play in THIS, just to check some "easter eggs". Because it's totaly not working for me IMHO. Many moments are very obvios. So instead of 4 hours game, I will preffer to watch standup or show on the same theme.

    All in all I definetely can not reccomend to PLAY in this game, but you can check stream on youtube and don't lose anything. In new era of streaming when I can watch all story-based games on youtube Stanley Parable: UD feels very archaic.    … Expand

    Man that was fking bullshat. the narrator just keeps blabbering for the sake of blabbering with no direction, intent or wit. I gained nothing playing the sequel, and will not recommend it. just play the original.

    This is a game that is filled with references, jokes, and incredible endings. Oh, and make sure to get the bucket.

    I did not find the game to be funny at all. It was boring, pointless and felt like a demo. Exploring the mysterious office building was about the only interesting thing.

    Разочарование.
    Оригинальная Stanly Parable интересный продукт и кое что из нового издания меня немного возмутило, мягко говоря.

    Оригинальная Stanly Parable интересный продукт и кое что из нового издания меня немного возмутило, мягко говоря.
    Игра славится своими развилками, что игра играет игроком и проломами четвёртой стены. Этим решил воспользоваться разработчики и решили поныть о негативных отзывах к оригинальной игре в Стиме.
    1) Говорят, что негативные отзывы пишут только для того, что бы навредить разработчикам.
    Хотя видимо им невдомёк, что отзывы могут быть ориентиром для людей со схожими и разными вкусами.
    2) Утверждают, что для создания игры они потратили много сил и времени, а те кто пишет негативный отзыв вообще ничего не сделал, что бы поиграть.
    Как насчёт того, что потребитель заплатил за ваш продукт деньгами, которые он заработал честным трудом.
    3) Сначала высмеивают разработчиков которые не стараются над дополнениями и переизданиями, а потом сами ноют, что потребитель от них требует хоть чего нибудь.
    Этот сегмент был по настоящему жалким и ничтожным.
    Вся эта напыщенная узколобость просто не даёт воспринимать игру всерьёз.
    Покупайте и играйте в оригинальную игру, а не в это позорище.

    I would have appreciated some sort of way to skip the narration, as it takes forever for him to finish speaking.

    That being said, there were some legitimately amusing bits.

    You'll laugh your eyes out, guaranteed. Ultra Deluxe has new endings, new content but keeps the same sense of humour and everything that made original game a hit.

    The Stanley Parable is still an excellent, provocative and unique experience that any fan of narrative adventures and out-of-the-box game design must play. With great new content that adapts to modern gaming culture and industry, it is certainly a cult classic expanded and built upon in the greatest manner possible.

    Ultra Deluxe is easily going to be one of the finest gaming experiences of the year, despite its short length relative to most. This is a game that gets in, says exactly what its creators wanted to say, and then gets out…maybe. The most ridiculous elements of the original are still perfectly preserved here, and then amplified in the new content, letting the player experience exactly what they want to. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.
