Great story
I love choose your own adventure stories
United StatesWell-Written
A classic telling of a superhero who also happens to be your long lost twin siblings. The story has plenty of action, romance, and justice. This game gives your choices value and has great writing. One criticism of the game, however, would be how linear the plot is. The story’s writing is great until you keep running into the same scene ten times. No matter what, you’ll always end at the same place, with maybe a few things changed at the end. I wouldn’t buy this for $5.99, but it’s still a good game nonetheless.
United StatesNot worth the price.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the game. The choices felt like they mattered which is always important, and you really got to craft how your character felt, which should be done more. I just feel like the plot wasn't engaging enough to warrant the high price of 6$. It felt too linear, predictable.
United StatesSo fun!
I hope to see more from this writer.
United StatesVery Well Written; Only One Real Flaw
Out of all the COG I've played; this one is by far the one with the least "railroad" feel to it. It's very refreshing. The basic plot points are there- clearly- but there's so many options with different outcomes that lead you to the next point. It makes replays much more enjoyable. Leading to point #2... There's SO MANY achievements. I LOVE to (attempt to) unlock all of the achievements in a COG. I've played through so many times and still haven't found the keys to unlock them all. Which leads to my final point. My greatest, and really only, issue with the story is the Stats. They don't do much and after a number of replays I'm still not 100% sure how to play them to get what I'm aiming for achievement wise. Honestly a few choices are made at the start and then the stats just sit there. I don't mind having to work to achieve my desire stat to get an achievement but it's very difficult in this game.
United StatesPlease make another!!
The game is amazing, it has a great story with plenty of twists and turns. I would love to see more by this author.
United StatesExcellent Choice game
I've played a large number of CoG titles, and this one is one of the most responsive--a surprising number of things will change based on your choices, and even in what other games would be critical failure states that require a restart, you are instead given alternate scenes that still allow you to continue and make a comeback. Worth replaying to see just how much variability there is!
