Review
#79 – Free Video Game
Test
Subject saga, Blue's Voyage
This is
the thing. Some games have stories. Maybe good stories. And some
games are fun to play. Challenging. Now, doing both, that's pretty
hard. Why? Well, because most games separate gameplay and story. So
you play a level, and then a wall of text or cutscene tells you what
happened.
The Test
Subject saga beautifully accomplishes both. You take control of Blue,
a blue slime create by a scientist. We are not really clear on why,
but that's the point. Blue is part of an experiment bigger than it.
And a giant scientist head looking down on us as we jump to impress
him reminds us of that.
Blue's
story doesn't really kick in until the second game, but from the
first one onward we can feel the story's atmosphere. We have a tiny
window to peer trough, but it's hard to tell what happens to us. I
can't stress enough how well this game makes you feel like that small
blue blob, so just play it and experience it for yourself.
You
might have noticed how I haven't told you what kind of game this is yet.
It's not really that important, but if you must know, I'd call it a
puzzle platformer. You'll be using teleportation devices to move
around the stage, trying to unlock the exit and then reach it.
So, half
mental challenge, and half dexterity challenge. I want to talk more
about the game's story, but I also don't want to spoil it. So check
out my next Babble after you've played the game. Go! Go meet Blue!
I'll be waiting here. See ya!
