Yeah if the other acts were as interesting as the first it would be one of my favourite games ever. As it stands it is just really good.

I loved act 1. I really enjoyed the horror elements. Using the pliers and the knife for the first time was brutal. The meta puzzles were just right for me and I enjoyed finding out about more of the layers and the characters.

Act two was interesting, I enjoyed meeting the other characters there was just enough puzzles and challenge and change up to be interesting.

Act 3 I found frustrating, the robot world game and the away from the table elements I found dull it didn’t do anything different particularly with the game mechanics. And whilst I enjoyed the real world aspects it irritated me that I had to watch 40 minutes of YouTube to find out the “true” ending which was really quite underwhelming. I kinda wish I hadn’t bothered and just left it with the goodbye boss fights.

I really don’t know how I feel about the game as a whole. I enjoyed parts, the first act was one of the best games I’ve ever played. The rest dragged on a bit.

I seem to remember it had something to do with twink Ryden and the child solder training he got rather than the cold war of MGS3.

I really enjoyed my time with it. Played it all on my phone. The touch controls work surprisingly well.

I guess the assassin’s creed games mostly fit your criteria. The plot largely takes place in the past so has already happened and is effectively fixed. The current day plot moves at a glacial pace for most of the first 3 games but does have some development gradually to something bigger.

Can’t really speak for the meta/ modern day plot of the later games as I stopped playing them.

There is at least 1 metal gear game where the premise is it’s a training simulation. I don’t remember the title, I think it’s a spin off of MGS2.

Both of them are excellent, blood and wine especially as it really nicely ends Geralt’s story. Also Tuson (sp?) is just beautiful.
