Game - The Stanley Parable
This review may contain a few spoilers throughout however they are not game breaking and will not ruin your experience while playing the game. You have been warned.
What is Stanley Parable?
'The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.
But as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance.'
Gameplay
Stanley Parable is a fantastic game that is full of twists and turns. The game thrives of it's fantastic narrator who walks you through your choices within the game. He will give you some choices and you can decide to completely go against his choice and go along your own path. Each choice you make throughout the game will change the plot of the game play. You can run through the game as many times as you want to try to get all of the different endings, all completely different to each other. The game is so well created even if you think that you have found a way to trick the game by glitching out a window, you will be surprised to hear the narrator talk about your choice to glitch out the map.
Opinion
The Stanley Parable is one of the most fantastically written games I have ever played. I can not fault this game for the amount it draws you in with the fantastically written script and the perfect narrations. This is a must have game for everyone who loves engaging story lines and making their own choices in a game. The game is currently hit by the steam summer sale, dropping its price down to £2.49, which is such a worthwhile price to take the plunge and nab this game. It's a game that is best when you have no clue of what the story line could be about and what could happen along your twists and turns. Play the game, and make your own choices, you wont regret it!
