    Endling conveys a necessary message through a moving story and entertaining and satisfying gameplay. The Herobeat Studios video game is a must play.

    Although there are some extremely heartbreaking moments in the game, and I found myself ugly crying during parts of it, Herobeat Studios created a beautiful game with cute foxes and a really important message. I have not been this emotionally moved by a game in a long time. Many of the things shown in game are based on current real-world events, and a lot of it was hard to stomach. Enthusiastic social commentary, a compelling story and beautiful graphics really gave me something I wasn’t expecting from a game with cute foxes at the forefront. Even with the slightly basic gameplay and repetitive nature, the game (and particularly the ending) hit hard and will leave a lasting mark for some time.

    Priced at $30 and only lasting two or three hours I wouldn’t normally recommend the game unless it was something unique and special. As a father of two, this story hit me in a way that few others have, though. If you’re looking for a game that is gorgeous, heartbreaking, and that tackles the most serious issue our and future generations will face then Endling – Extinction is Forever deserves your attention.

    Endling - Extinction is Forever is an important game that tells a tale of the environmental and man-made destruction that is happening around us.

    I was very surprised by Endling – Extinction is Forever. I enjoyed it for the most part, with a lovely visual style and story, although the gameplay felt a bit repetitive at times which held it back slightly.

    Establishes its world and its harsh realities very effectively; Gut-punching, emotionally draining story; Extremely effective storytelling, done completely wordlessly; Exploration can be fun thanks to the way the 2.5D sidescrolling environments are crafted; Gorgeous to look at.

    Bad-
    The price is a bit of an issue, considering the game's length; Can feel a bit repetitive and grindy; Some minor technical issues.

    Thoughts-
    Endling – Extinction is Forever isn’t for everyone. That’s not because it’s a particularly hard game to play or because it’s mechanically complex- no, in terms of gameplay, it’s actually really quite accessible and easy to get into. Its oppressive world and brutal story, however, might not be the sort of escapism that everyone looks for when playing a video game. If, however, you’re on the lookout for a short, well-told, uniquely captivating experience, Endling is well worth checking out. At roughly three or four hours long, its $29.99 price tag might seem a bit steep, but if you’re the sort of player that can forgive a game’s brevity because of its quality, Endling is certainly not lacking in quality.    … Expand
