This game managed to tick so many boxes for me, from the themes, story, gameplay, and even the little things like how each new chapter that started with a cutscene, would neatly transition into the chapter's name. Though there was a few down points with the gameplay... having to move boxes around during chase scenes was a bad decision in my opinion, as it resulted in the most frustration I had with the game where I had to look up a gameplay video to progress. So I understand when some people comment that the gameplay was the weakest part. When you compare the 2.5D sidescrolling sections to something like Limbo, it really tries but just doesn't hold up as well. But there was just too much else that I thoroughly enjoyed for it to detract from my overall experience. Half of the gameplay is done from a first-person perspective as a different character, which helps to break things up. There was one part of the game where you had to play both the first and third person parts simultaneously while under pressure from both sides, that was interesting and done well. If you like, [*]The Truman Show [*]Limbo (and similar games) [*]Puzzles [*]Story-based games [*]A narrative set in and grounded in the present day [*]The idea that what if Disney (a media company) actually made EPCOT, then took it to the extremes [*]Retro-futuristic And other things I can't think of, then you will very much enjoy your time with this game as I did.

Great experience! Fun if sometimes a little predictable story and the genre shifts kept if feeling fresh.

This is such an impressive game! Try to avoid reading anything about this, including the game's Steam page. They spoil some things unnecessarily and things work better IMO if you come in completely blank. The varied gameplay, the great story, the interesting characters and the VERY cute pettable cat all work in unison to make a superb work of art. Highly recommended.

American Arcadia is a delightful experience that serves as a good alternative to a fun book. From the moment I started playing, I was drawn into its unique world and compelling narrative. The game offers a refreshing change of pace with its simple yet engaging puzzles that never feel overly challenging but are still satisfying to solve. One of the standout features of American Arcadia is the dual perspective gameplay. Switching between Trevor and Angela provides a dynamic shift in storytelling and gameplay mechanics, keeping the experience fresh and exciting throughout. This alternating perspective allows for a well-balanced pace, ensuring that the game never feels monotonous. The artistic style of American Arcadia is another highlight. The visuals are beautifully crafted and fit perfectly with the overall theme of the game. The environments are rich in detail, and the character designs are charming, adding to the immersive experience. The sound design and music also complement the visuals, creating an engaging atmosphere that enhances the narrative. The story itself is compelling and well-written. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions feel genuine and heartfelt. The ending is executed well, providing a satisfying conclusion to the journey. It's clear that a lot of thought and care went into crafting the narrative, making it one of the game's strongest aspects. Overall, American Arcadia is an entertaining game that offers around 6 to 8 hours of enjoyable gameplay. It's a perfect choice for those looking for a captivating story-driven experience with a mix of puzzle-solving and exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good narrative adventure. You won't be disappointed!" 👍 Recommend

What a fantastic find! I'd originally got this game on a steam sale after reading a couple of reviews and seeing the accolades it acquired. Absolutely hands down lived up to the hype - the graphics are pretty without being pretentious, the voice acting is on-point, with interesting character, musical score, story-line and a unique combination of puzzle solving and side-scroller adventuring. It's not too challenging in terms of the puzzles, but most still give you that "eureka!" feeling/dopamine hit when you solve them without giving you sleepless nights and grey hairs trying to figure them out. The story is well paced, layered and riddled with a few "wait - what!?" moments that keep you intrigued. The only "negative" thing I'd say is that it's a short game - lasting about 6-8 hours, so it's not a game you buy for it's longevity, more-so it's a game you buy for the experience and storytelling. But that's totally fine in this game's case, because I can check off my list of finished games (which is small, thanks ADHD) with a smile on my face, a sense of accomplishment, and gratitude to the devs for the time, love and effort they put into this brilliant game. Well done folks!
