A missed opportunity and from which much more narrative revenue could have been obtained.Īlready in its staging, both technically and in its artistic design, it again offers us a series of chiaroscuro where its negative side dwarfs the positive and it is that although the environments and scenarios can harbour a certain grace and even arouse our curiosity, the general feeling is that Those Who Remain could have appeared 10 years ago. Whether by punishment or forgiveness, the real impact on the player is rather null and we will not care much about the destinies of these characters thanks to a development that goes far beyond their background in each case.
Of course, the title suffers from a mechanic that does not finish being well resolved and becomes one of its main setbacks and is that if we perish at any point on the same level or stage, either by a false step into the dark or by one of these creatures that we must give a corner, we must restart the level from the beginning, repeating over and over the same steps and puzzles, something that can be really tedious Although the levels are not excessively long, there are some more extensive than others.įinally, adventure offers us the possibility of taking decisions in relation to certain characters that will cross our path, decisions that will have direct consequences and that will show us one end or the other among various possibilities So much so, that as a sentence, we will have to condemn or save people from whom we will discover their past through clues at certain levels and who are trapped in a kind of purgatory awaiting our judgment.
Although they are situations that are solved with some ease and do not represent a real threat in themselves if they add some tension and variety. A solution that gives some imagination to the set and in some way supplies that constant feeling of going here and there without a clear objective, something that happens more, much more, than would be desirable.Īnother of the central though not so constant axes of Those Who Remain are the stealth phases in which a nemesis type monster It looks for and persecutes us while we try to solve a puzzle or a challenge on a stage, of course, closed or delimited. Its access occurs through portals that we will have to open, recalling concepts such as “The Other Side” of the television series Stranger things So much so, that we will need to explore both versions of the same scenario to activate mechanisms or find key objects so that they have repercussions on the other plane of reality and vice versa. At least it has a differentiating element in each level that allows us to jump to an alternative reality from that same location to solve puzzles.
The adventure is divided into different chapters through zones independent from each other, leading us to visit all kinds of locations, from a gas station to a police station, passing houses, roads, supermarkets, restaurants and more, solving puzzle after puzzle, to continue on through a confusing and awkward narrative, all through small stories that they don’t finish transmitting a coherent thread that hooks the player.
