GamerDad's John Pollock reveals his rather remarkable and rather realistic recent review re Microid's Still Life...
This is a story about a serial killer of women. Though there are a few positive characterizations, including the main character and her mentor, all the victims are prostitutes and the treatment they receive in-game is far from uplifting. Furthermore, the initial cut-scene depicts the murders of several different naked or exposed women, including the killer callously dragging the body of one completely naked victim by the legs through underground sewers. Several other gruesome murder scenes are also depicted in great detail, often with disturbing or misogynistic imagery. In addition, the language in the game is often foul, leaning towards over-the-top. The gameplay itself encourages problem solving and is generally easy enough for older teens, but don't expect anyone to get the harder puzzles without hours of trial-and-error or resorting to a walkthrough on a cheat site. |
