#DEAR ESTHER REVIEW MOVIE#

My favorite setting of the four is by far the caves, which gives the player a chance to explore a seemingly endless array of beautiful hanging stalactites. The protagonistвЂ™s journey is broken down into 4 distinct areas of the island, giving you a chance to revisit each one once you stumble across them for the first time.

The environments and overall atmosphere are stunning and I often found myself simply standing around, spinning in circles while trying to look at every piece of detailed scenery. This new and remastered version was made possible by a former DICE employee, environmental artist Robert Briscoe.ДЄs soon as the game booted up I could tell I was in for a visual treat. This heartfelt yet tragic tale was originally told back in 2008 in the form of an indie mod constructed using ValveвЂ™s Source Engine. As the protagonist wanders a mysterious island, his arrival at certain landmarks prompts a narrative to begin playing, segments from letters that he wrote to a woman named Esther. His memories are brought to life through thoughts and feelings that are expressed in a set of letters that he has written since the time of the tragic event.

#DEAR ESTHER REVIEW MOVIE#

Some would argue that Dear Esther barely qualifies as a game at all, only a slightly more interactive way to watch a movie or perhaps listen to a good story. In an industry where gameplay is so often the main selling point for a franchise, Dear Esther challenges the very basis for most modern video games.
