It's sad that this didn't turn out better
This is probably the cringiest review I've read in a while. First of all, that disclaimer is not only unprofessional but also weird (weirder than the game to be honest). Second of all, you are no authority on what is to be considered a game. Just because you don't like "walking simulators" or games with more cerebral gameplay does not mean they aren't part of the medium, rather that you as a reviewer chooses to ignore. Your credibility has been lost completely when you dismissed entire genres as insufficient. I have no idea why you even reviewed this.

PS: if you are one of the writters, I want you to know that you did a fine job
Mabye don't use "art" as a pejorative if you want to be taken seriously as a critic of an art form there, mate.
Also, only stupid people get bored. Perhaps demonstrate through your review that you understand a game before dismissing it like a child would.

Stop behaving like a child, dismissing this article just because you don't agree with it - act like an adult, and demonstrate how this was a good game, either with a comment, or with a review - insults don't work on me.
The review starts with a warning that ends with " whether this is more like those artsy, pretentious, storytelling indie videogames that have become quite common nowadays."
I have gamed for 30 years, and I love "artsy" type narratives done well (Gone Home, Dear Esther, Everyones Gone to the Rapture, Tacoma) and straight forward games. I feel like these "artsy" games can only exit on the medium of a computer , they are fined tuned to their storytelling and if done well are excellent. Sure, there are allot of bad ones just like bad games in general, but to dismiss every type of "Storytelling indie videogame" ENTIRELY sounds like you are very narror minded. You *clearly* won't like this game if you dislike all games in this category.. duhh. I could tell a mile away this was an "artsy indie game" but how could you not if you hate them so much? Maybe age and being open minded more will expand your horizons about what computer can do as far as entertainment goes.
I don't *clearly* dislike all games in this category - just the ones that are bad at what they do.
This is supposed to be a game about stories - it's not. These "stories" become currency too soon in here, thus it's hard to give a damn about them. This tried to impress me by claiming that's it's sth more than what it is, in other words, pretentious.
Unlike this, Virginia was a storytelling game I didn't like it very much, but it never gave me those cheesy "I'M IMPORTANT" vibes, mainly because it was what it was supposed to be.
PS: Don't really care how many years you have gamed and what do you like or not.

That´s a really impressive way to connect to your audience man. Keep it coming.
I've gamed for X number of years and I like playing Y therefore I know what I'm talking about...
I prefer honesty and logic from connecting with my audience.

Being honest is way different than being a dick man. There are ways to talk to people without being rude....

People have frequently criticized my reviews, BUT they have done so in the correct manner, and thus received equally correct responses from me.
Finally, being honest is indeed different than being a dick, but it's sometimes impossible to be honest WITHOUT being a... "dick"
Some people have super thin skin man, Ofisil your review is only one I have read and I thank you for it. I take multiple reviewers points of view before purchasing a game so I take them all with a grain of salt.
We all appreciate different things in games and you gave your honest opinions i feel. Keep doing you man, don't let the rabble rousers get you down.

You've taken some flack for it, but I for one think it was very brave of you to admit that you're not intelligent enough to understand art.
