There’s a clear ending to the game, but I wonder if there should have been a short final act that would allow our heroes to bring an end to the conflict for good. (You’d expect Vella and Shay to have a stronger reaction to certain things that happen later in the story when they don’t.) Closing the game without really taking care of the major conflict doesn’t feel satisfying. There are a number of small things that don’t feel properly addressed and the major conflict is essentially swept aside right at the end. Personally I think the story has a better focus in the first half in comparison to where things go in the second. That said there’s a noticeable difference between the first and second half of the game. Of course that doesn’t matter for the PlayStation release as it is simply one game and never saw a segmented release.

There’s a clear point in which each part ends and begins, but it doesn’t quite feel like an episodic game. There’s a great cast of characters to meet and an interesting world to uncover, but I think in the end it doesn’t quite come together in the most fulfilling way.ĭespite releasing the game in two separate parts Broken Age feels like one complete game. Throughout the game you’ll switch control between Vella and Shay as they both attempt to defy these established rules. Much of Broken Age is about breaking away from what’s considered the norm and forging your own path in life. Meanwhile, somewhere in the far reaches of space there’s a boy named Shay who can’t quite escape from the monotonous daily routine enforced by an overprotective mother. She’s also set to be one of the maidens at the upcoming Maiden’s Feast in which she’ll be offered as a sacrifice to Mog Chothra in order to protect the village from destruction. Vella lives in the small village of Sugar Bunting with her family. Posted by Curtis H on April 29th, 2015 | 0 Comments | Tags: Broken Age
