Worth Every Echo – Sunless Sea Review

Excellent game. Beautiful, clever puzzles, quick advancement to ever more interesting challenges if one is bold and clever. I've had this game for several months and I am still finding whole new adventures, new avenues. It is cool that the way the game evolves as an experience, it continually opens new perspectives of play. At first, it is a simple exploration, figuring out how the boat works, finding strange, and sometimes finding unbeatable opponents (I remember how proud I was for fierce sea [I mean zea] battles... backing up a very damaged ship through a narrow curving channel, while shooting at an opponent four times my size). Then it was learning the commerce of the zea and how to improve my ship, thrive, and then excel. The stories are a lot of fun, the choices are clever, and bring in some self reflection about the ethics in games decisions. The scoring and rewards is clever and subtle. One can create interesting characters through the choices, and thereby attract unique challenges and rewards. Clever interface. The writing is good. Clever. Funny. Once in a while I have to look a word up. That is surprising. :)
