Dear Esther. Yay or nay?

 

[Dead(+)Sight]

Nah

Who picked that name? Very unappealing

Isn't Dear Esther the "game" where you just walk around a small empty world? Everything I've read and heard about it is that it's a beautiful "game" with just nothing in it or anything to do.

I've heard the same thing. It looks great but....what the hell do you do?

Damn it. Thanks for the video Meg. I still don't know if I should get it. It looks amazing though.

i think its about either your ship wreaked or your plane crashed and you can explore the island and find things....its like a simulator almost of you actually got stuck on an island...think of the Tom Hanks movie Castaway, but with no FedEx and no rescue and no volleyball.

I wouldnt say its a game, I played it, it was very nice but its not for everyone

 

[Bad Brain]

the setting looks exactly like where i live, theres not enough games set in scotland

That location in Meg's video would make for an interesting (but creepy) DoD map.

mmm Yogscast videos

I don't know if you could classify it as a game. It has no plot or really anything you can do. You're limited to where you can go, it has invisible walls and such that won't allow you to fully explore. You basically walk around an island and just look at the pretty textures.
