Often, and very naturally, we don't see video games as anything more than a source of entertainment and digital adventures on which we embark on interesting journeys. Ever since I was a little kid I've played many games from all kinds of genres, from action-adventure to simulators, from psychological horror to horrible movie adaptations that none of us liked but played anyway. I have spent enjoyable hours visiting the worlds inside them and once they were finished I just cherished the time spent and moved on. But the emotional damage AND joy, the intellectual pleasure I'd felt while playing this game is unlike any other. It took me some time to get this game out of my mind and I actually stood there staring at the credits roll by and trying to process what I'd just experienced. The only other game that had me as astonished was Silent Hill II, honestly.

In this DnD campaign adaptation set in the Planescape setting, we are in control of a man who knows close to nothing about his identity; including his name, his life and memories, his allies and foes, his travels and adventures: The Nameless One. He opens his eyes in a morgue in Sigil with no memory and sense of self whatsoever and embarks on a journey to recover his identity. And his journal, of course, he for sure loves his journal. He meets some eccentric people along the way and accepts their aid and friendship. What a messy place the world can be for someone who doesn't know themselves in a literal sense, and that is exactly what this game is focusing on. It questions nearly every concept that we simplify in our daily lives, like life, individuality, death and morality, and makes the player question them as well. Because you have to give an answer. Everything and every answer is possible and has a grain own truth in itself because there is not a specific persona to judge these verdicts. What can change the nature of man? This question actually stuck with me ever since finishing the game. What can change the nature of man? This game. I can assure you, it's going to be an amazing experience if you ever decide to give it a chance.

Also, I don't want to end this review without mentioning the beautiful work of art that is the soundtrack. I think it works and harmonizes so well with the authenticity and courageous story of the game. Mark Morgan is also known for his work with Fallout I & II's soundtracks, so there's a similarity that is impossible to miss. So I would listen to a few pieces even before jumping into the game if unsure, because trust me, the game feels exactly like it sounds. Happy gaming!
