‘Dear Esther” is a curious game, its more like a journey, you do have to find the right paths to finish complete it. This type of game takes me back to the first time I “played” “Ceremony of Innocence” in 1997, which was the first narrative style “game” I had experienced. Many of us want to be transported to different worlds and experience narrative interactive experiences and fantasy, and the graphics on some of these new type of games is really incredible if not yet lifelike. “Dear Esther” is a lovely example of the talent and diversity of gaming, that I hope grows and grows, developed by the folks at “ The Chinese Room”.Īs 1980’s and 90’s gamers turn into adult gamers, not everyone wants to kill something or someone. This is a game hosted on Steampowered an online gaming platform.Ĭalling this a “Game” is not really correct its more like an digital interactive visual experience. “Dear Esther” PC and Mac hosted on Steampowered The added bonus of distracting me for an hour or so is that it gives me a bridge of understanding into my kids gaming, they also love it when I ask for them to help me when I get stuck….and I really really enjoy it! Anything that is visually beautiful will get me in…. I prefer the adventure or mystery type non-violent games. I play both offline and online games, usually on the weekend for an hour or so just to have a bit of fun and a bit of escapism. It’s a long time since my last review of Minecraft, and it’s now getting a LOT of hits as it’s getting more and more popular amongst kids and parents are trying to work out if Minecraft is ok for their kids to play. (and who knows they might themselves become fans of some games!). I recommend to parents during my talks, that they “have a go” at some computer games, especially if they can play them with their kids, to gain an understanding of what kids love about computer games.
I’m going to start posting some more reviews of the online games I like to play. A computer “game” for Dreamers and Explorers
