I don’t want to start a new topic for The Council because I know a lot of you will not play it so i just write a short review here for it.
It started pretty slow but interesting, episodee 3 was the peak in quality, story and writing. Ep 4 and 5 contains a lot of puzzles which are 1) Hard af 2) I am baked most of the time during the game and i am stupider by the minute 3) the puzzles are complicated, i mean i needed the famous yellow legal pad to write notes because i was lost and confused 4) i am a noob. Either way that was my main issue with the game. The face animations were ME Andromeda level bad but the voice acting made it okay. I had some random bugs with lighting and random appearing models but nothing annoying andd game breaking.
The main positive point for this game is the ending. Because during the five episodes your choices really matter not like in a Telltale game. It has 16 endings i could find. Of course they are alterations of 3-4 main endings but still. You miss an item or conversation in ep2 and boom you already have a different ending. Loved this. I won’t rate games this year but anyone who wants an evolved telltale experience with some occultism, puzzles, some chat with Napoleon or Washington, give it a try. Or until the end of episode 2. You will know by then if its worth playing.
BTW Episode 1 is free on Steam
