Blues and Bullets Reviews

Well, it seems like the series has been discontinued, which is too bad. I do hate this episodic format anyway. But I'll still give this a positive review because it was fine as a first episode. The game is very cinematic, which is both a good and bad thing. The art direction is phenomenal, with the black-white-red color scheme, and the background graphics look great. Certain visual effects, like the rain and the part where the protagonist is walking through text, are quite original and well done. The characters are mostly fine, except for their rigid facial expressions and awkward movements, but that has a sort of nostalgic charm, so it's actually kind of endearing. But there are no camera controls, which is really frustrating when you're walking around. Sometimes you even have to make the protagonist walk toward you, so you have no idea where he's going. Also, bro walks super slow. The gameplay is extremely easy. It's mostly an interactive movie, which is fine, although the choices seem annoyingly meaningless. The story is okay. I don't think it was a masterpiece, but it was interesting enough and a promising start to a series. Too bad it was never finished, but if you can enjoy a half-finished story, the game is nice enough.
