This is a good game, but I don't think it's for me. I like the vibe and the story and the actual plot of all the different alters coming to existence is cool, I just don't really care for a management and base building game. Everything it is trying to do it seems like it is doing well, but it's …

I like the vibe and the story and the actual plot of all the different alters coming to existence is cool, I just don't really care for a management and base building game. Everything it is trying to do it seems like it is doing well, but it's just not really for me from the time I played it. Solid 7/10.

This is going to stay with me. The Alters is a treasure.

The writing and performance is so strong.
I am sick to my stomach to have
I'm invested still but oddly hesitant to play from the building intensity. The title isn't pairing well with the stresses of life these days.

The Alters continues to climb further into my top 10 games of all time. I'm unsure where it will land and what game it must remove but its presence is soon to be mandatory.

The games pace is a taught string carefully plucked. While the cadence of play fits perfectly in my limited schedule. One or two in-game days to enjoy during a lunch break is a snug, sci fi fit.
I imagine the emotional core of alternate lives may be lost on a younger player. The protagonist and I share a similar age, so it feels to be explicitly made for the pre-mid life crisis crowd.

I haven't been this enthralled with a video game in a long time.
While I'm only past the prologue, every corner is enormously interesting.

Every time you feel like everything is smooth sailing you get smacked with some awful choice or event that derails everything and forces you to re-evaluate every one of your past choices. This thing is like an anxiety disorder simulator, and I'm asking myself why I volunteered myself for this experience 🤣

I made the surprisingly guilt free purchase of The Alters on PS5 a few days ago.
I thought it would arrive yesterday but discovered the physical release wont be for another month! (July 19th)
Buying physical is more appealing these days, for the sake of resale (when the time never comes). Waiting a month knowing it could be a download …

Buying physical is more appealing these days, for the sake of resale (when the time never comes). Waiting a month knowing it could be a download away is a strange ache. I saw a comment somewhere saying how this could be a marketing push to prioritize digital sales.
Please lets this not be a thing now. :\

Wow, what a ride. I think this is the first game in a while that had me losing time and playing for hours on end. I also normally reload previous saves when choices I make have consequences I don't like in games like these, but this made me want to see them through (I did reload once... when a certain …

I was kinda hoping there'd be an endless mode at the end somehow; I would have to keep playing and help the
