Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the video game Red Line on Not
0:06
Now Mom, I'm Gaming. These are short
0:09
videos featuring gameplay clips or
0:11
screenshots so as not to show too much
0:12
in the spoiler department. Links to this
0:15
review are in the description below. Let
0:17
the reviewing begin. Pros: Great
0:21
character art. The character art is
0:23
really good, both as the person talking
0:26
and in other scenes throughout the game.
0:28
It's also just really nice to see a half
0:30
character portrait to know who's
0:32
speaking as opposed to maybe a headshot
0:34
portrait or none at all. You kind of
0:36
understand a character more by seeing
0:38
more of their outfit and body stature.
0:41
The pixel art is nothing to scoff at
0:43
either. Cons. Puzzles may be slightly
0:47
confusing. Maybe not the actual puzzles,
0:50
but more like the investigation portions
0:52
of the game, which are kind of puzzles
0:54
in my mind. There's one that had a real
0:57
world versus underworld and you have to
0:59
circle the clues that belong together.
1:01
The problem is the game makes it look
1:03
like you have to match the statements of
1:05
the real world with ones from the
1:07
underworld and that's not the case. I
1:09
wish they could have made that clear.
1:12
Story line a bit confusing. Don't get me
1:15
wrong, I like the direction they were
1:16
going with the story line, being able to
1:19
converse with someone from an alternate
1:21
world than us and solve a mystery to
1:23
help us and everyone else. But there
1:25
were parts I just couldn't understand.
1:28
Like the relation between both the Chin
1:29
girls. Is Swan being manipulated into
1:32
thinking she's being haunted by Swinning
1:34
or is it her own fault for these events
1:36
happening? Is it all happening because
1:38
the pills or because she doesn't want to
1:40
deal with the reality of what happened
1:42
and come to terms with it? I think there
1:44
was supposed to be an aha moment, but I
1:46
still didn't quite get it. Black screen
1:50
bug. There's a moment in the game where
1:52
you have to run from an enemy, and if
1:54
you run into them, the game starts again
1:56
right before the small chase, but the
1:58
screen's black. It remains black until
2:00
you reload before this moment.
2:04
Can't skip talking scenes. One of the
2:06
more annoying cons just because this
2:08
game has multiple endings and you might
2:10
have to spam click a lot depending on
2:11
when you save the game. I mean, I
2:14
understand why you can't skip as they
2:15
aren't scenes, just conversations,
2:18
but it's something to remind yourself
2:22
And that's the end of a pros and cons
2:23
review of Red Line. And if you're
2:26
interested in a longer podcast review of
2:28
this game, there's another link in the
2:30
description where you can vote for it.
2:32
Thanks for watching, everyone, and don't
2:34
get in too much trouble when you say,
2:35
"Not now, Mom. I'm gaming.
