Kentucky Route Zero is an interactive story. There is very little actual game in there to discuss. ​It is a poetic, magical-realist experience: light on plot, but heavy on themes and imagery. I understand how it can evoke a strong emotional response, but it simply didn't work for me. While I could appreciate the framing and the soundtrack, overall it left me bored. I recognize this doesn't make it a bad story, but from my perspective, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Great American Novel but is a video game. Hardly a "game", hardly even a "story" this may best be described as a digital art exhibition that rumbles on from stop to stop like the roadtrip that frames it. The atmosphere is nicely dreary and melancholic, the characters are *somehow* likeable and it felt like I got to know them in some dense and intimate moments. Recommendation for artsy types who like Cormac McCarthy and Jim Jarmusch and Kurt Vonnegut.

One of the all-time greats in terms of writing in video games. Feels closer to literature than video games, in a good way. The ending made me cry.

My favorite game of all time. Transformative work that so many of your favorite games were inspired by.

Closer to a work of art than an adventure game, with a haunting plot and an incredible atmosphere. Go in with the expectation of soaking it all in as a narrative experience and you will be rewarded.

I really wanted to like this game. It's very ambitious and the bluegrass music is quite enjoyable. However, parts of it (especially the second half) are so long and so slowly paced that I got very bored. Spoilers ahead: The first two acts are intriguing. You start in a gas station and have get by a group of ghosts playing a D&D type game. The man at the station insists that there is no one else there. What a start! I also enjoyed driving down the highway more than I thought I would, wondering if the titular route actually existed. But somewhere around the halfway point, it loses the thread. The pacing becomes glacial. In Act V, you play as a cat chasing a dragonfly. You run around the town and overhear people's conversations. And it goes on FOREVER! I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over and over again.

This game is a lot like a dream. It's ambling, abstracted, somewhat vague, confused, detached, haunting, sombre eerie, tranquil, maudlin, with some standout moments of magical realism. It has a clear overarching objective with no clear way to get there, characters that fade out and pop up at different junctures and a runtime that feels both like it dragged and was over too soon. None of this is a criticism, this is obviously a very specific tone and method of storytelling that was consciously chosen by the dev team and they absolutely nail it. It's probably not for everyone, but for people who can appreciate gameplay-lite, story-heavy games and are tired of all the cookie-cutter visual novels and walking sims out there, I highly recommend this!!!

Вроде, и персонажи получаются живыми, и дизайн необычный. Но, господи, какая же это затянутая нудятина. Вроде, и пройти хочется, идея хорошая. Но... Прокликивать десятки повторяющихся действий, за которыми ничего не стоит. Типа: встать, взять кассету, вставить, просмотреть, вытащить, положить и т.д. В чём смысл такого? Набрать игровых часов? Продемонстрировать "жизненность"?
