The Isle Tide Hotel Review (sineb521)
I had been waiting for this game to be released. Bought it the first day. Was concerned a bit because I read some negative reviews. Surprisingly, I liked it. You will not love this game at first sight. I was keep cringing and regretting on the very 1st play, not knowing whats behind of all. You have to KEEP RE-play in order to actually understand EACH characters' stories and find the bigger picture. So far, I completed Hennessy, Jordan, and D's stories (not going to tell you her real name lol). Saw five different endings. But still missing some portions on the collection pages and can't seem to find a way to reveal Christopher's story. I am dying to know more about him but there is no walkthrough or guide yet so I will be the pioneer and going to keep play.
ONLY SUGGESTION I HAVE FOR THIS GAME IS PLEASE HAVE AN OPTION TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SELECTION!!!!!!!!! Or perhaps, have chapters or an option to restart the game, at least. I OFTEN accidentally click wrong button and now I have to go with the flow that I already went in the previous plays. I don't want to waste my time and play the same path all over again. Wish I can either select a chapter or re-select previous choices so I don't have to force myself to rewatch or replay the same ending all over (Hate that four door room. It's painful to replay. So I kinda created my own map but anywho, still painful).
Other than that, I like it. I can feel that the production and the developer teams had put a lot of efforts and love in this. The atmosphere, design, colors, stories of each characters, actings (wasn't bad to me like what others said. I'm not here to watch a movie anyway), gameplays, etc. Overall, I will give a solid 7/10. There are really good FMV games so can't really say this is the bestest but good enough and didn't regret buying.
