It started off with a bang, which is exactly how Skyrim started.įor the most part, the civil war questline was a fairly well done dillema. BioShock is the first to come to mind, which gave you a stellar introduction to the world of Rapture, allowing you to step foot inside it's wondery world without having to worry about weapons and other gameplay facets. At this moment, you get an introduction, not a full fleshed-out history lesson, to the world, its inhabitants, and its politics, all within a reasonably short amount of time. From there of course, you'll progressively be introduced to other key components, but you're also not bogged down by them now, so you can enjoy the moment. This way, you're only options are to move and look around. It also avoided the pitfall that many games fall into: overwhelming the player.
It's strengths lie in its perfect balance and being of proper length, whilst still introducing the player to key aspects of the game naturally with subtle pacing. Before I tear into this game and all it's shortcomings, I did want to talk about a couple of it's strengths that I felt deserved a mention. As always, I like to get the good news out of the way first, so I can save the soul-crushing criticisms for last, leaving you miserable wretches of fanboys heartbroken.
