    730 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the Netflix interactive games has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the engaging and immersive narratives that allow for personal choices that shape the experience. However, numerous users have reported significant technical issues, including glitches that disrupt gameplay and prevent them from progressing in stories. While some stories, like "Virgin River" and "Emily in Paris," are highlighted for their captivating plots, there are concerns about the linearity of choices and the lack of meaningful impact on story outcomes, leading to frustration among players who desire more varied and dynamic storytelling.

    • “I love how interactive it is— I get to make choices that actually shape the story, which makes it feel so personal.”
    • “An amazing story that made me feel like I was in the world and part of the story, with beautiful art that made me laugh, cry, and want more!”
    • “I really enjoy playing Netflix story games—the storylines, drama, characters, and settings are all fantastic.”
    • “The choices for outfits are lacking (which may have made it more bearable) and the storyline doesn't change too much regardless of the choices you make.”
    • “You don't actually get to choose yes or no for options, and even if you replay the story and choose a different love interest, the entire storyline stays the same.”
    • “The chapters are really short; there is little uniqueness to the characters - regardless of which route you take the conversations remain the same; you can't re-play a chapter, only the whole story; you get few options as the main character, so your own contribution to a scene is actually limited.”

  • monetization
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Useless application; only ads work every 20 seconds.”
    • “I get this app for 5 stars because we play without ads interrupting, without keys, tickets, or anything to pay for. The wardrobe is also available for everything they had for free without having to pay to unlock those damn dresses!”

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Good idea and started out great but has gone downhill, riddled with bugs that mess with the gameplay. There's no ability to replay just one chapter, so if you encounter a bug, you have to restart completely.”

  • character development
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding character development, with some players noting improvements in character designs and animations that could enhance storytelling.

  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the reviews indicate a mixed perception of replayability, with some users finding the game fun and entertaining but lacking significant replay value due to repetitive storylines and limited character interactions. While a few stories are noted for their replayability, many players express disappointment in the lack of varied scenarios and the inability to revisit endings without replaying entire chapters. Consequently, several users report a decline in interest for multiple playthroughs.
