AsDuskFalls' motion comic-like presentation and compelling crime drama narrative help it stand out in the narrative adventure game space.
As Dusk Falls MSRP $29.99 Score Details “As Dusk Falls is an atypical narrative adventure game with a compelling story about family.” Pros Cons During the last two gaming generations, developers like Telltale and Quantic Dream redefined the narrative adventure genre, putting less emphasis on point-and-click puzzle-solving. Instead, they focused on making the game like an interactive movie with many player choices that have a direct impact on the game’s narrative.
Expansion isn’t as consistent as Collision because its on-the-run criminal and PTSD storylines are a bit less intimate than the tensely written hostage situation. However, Collision’s strong groundwork kept me excited to see these characters’ journeys throughout. Thankfully, the writing is consistently compelling and entertaining. Quantic Dream’s narrative adventure games, in particular, often suffered due to some problematic characters and awkward dialogue.
Of course, if you don’t like motion comics and want more detailed animation, As Dusk Falls won’t be for you. Still, this atypical look never got in the way of my adventure; the cursor controls and quick time events are what did that. Typically, the only interaction in As Dusk Falls is you moving a cursor around the screen to pick a dialogue option or interact with an object in the environment.
Our take Even if As Dusk Falls doesn’t feel great to play on a controller, it’s a compelling crime drama narrative that remains exciting even as the scenario ramps up and becomes increasingly outlandish. If you like crime dramas or narrative-driven games, it’s worth checking this out on Xbox Game Pass at the very least.
