So why does the overall score seem so low? Well, the score doesn’t truly reflect the game as a whole and should not be a reason to miss out on it (considering its low price point). The score is more indicative of the taste the ending will leave in your mouth. You will invest a lot of time and care into this game and while you will enjoy the trip, the ending is so overwhelmingly disappointing that you may find yourself hating the entire product just for that. Yes, Hollywood movies have given us similar endings, but after the game has taken so much time to carefully and painstakingly create a perfect mystery for us, leading us to expect an intelligent and satisfying conclusion, it feels shallow (at best) to finally see what Still Life amounts to. This may sound harsh, but it is a reality. I can only hope that a sequel had been in the works. Should this stop you from enjoying Still Life? I hope not. It is a lovingly crafted game that just falters slightly under the weight of its own greatness. A mediocre game with a similar ending would have worked, but a great game with a mediocre ending just doesn’t. Still, if you’ve help Guybrush in the past, do yourself a favor and help Victoria and Gus now too. It’s nice to see where adventure games are going.
