This game takes a bit to get good. I did not enjoy my first play through (boring story and characters, and perhaps I just don't understand the political climate of England). But the beauty and ingenuity of these types of games is in the replays. The more you do it over, the better it gets. This is a game for completionists; the fun is in the replay and exploring every path and ending while attempting new options each time to hunt down all trophies. I liked it a lot more after playing it for multiple hours then I did at first. I was unable to hunt down every available clip within the game, so there's more to explore although I think I'm done. One of the most fascinating parts of this game was the parallel words in two different time lines. The stories and choices are similar between the 1981 and 2021 version, and you feel a familiarity going between the two games. I love the inverse of the roles. I'm not sure I'll replay this game in the future. If you love this style of game and completing all paths and endings, I think you may enjoy this game. If you only play it once, I think you'll leave very underwhelmed. It's definitely not as good as others in the genre, but if you do indeed enjoy this genre, you will get something out of this game.

I find this quite hard to rate. The game consists of two stories and I played 1981 first and was just blown away by it. The sets. music, acting, story. A masterpiece.
Then comes 2021 and its just rushed, empty, the actors suddenly have no chemistry anymore (maybe this was filmed first?), the sets seem boring and stale.
Had it only been the first bit but a bit longer and more complex this would be the best FMV I've ever played, but like this Im hard on the fence of even giving it a thumbs up. I really dont understand how the one part could be so amazing and the other so bad.
For 1981 and Anna Popplewell this gets a soft thumbs up.
