story
20 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story aspect of the games, particularly "reversestory" and its sequel "ruinsstory," is praised for its engaging narrative and lore, enhancing the overall experience. While "reversestory" is described as nearly perfect, "ruinsstory" introduces unique gameplay mechanics alongside a compelling story, making it a worthwhile addition to the series. However, some players note frustrations with long corridors and lack of checkpoints in the gameplay.
“I love reversestory, I really do; to me, it's perfect in every way.”
“The music in ruinsstory is great as well, with some songs and their respective locations being taken from reversestory and remastered. Nanase did a great job at music once again.”
“All in all, ruinsstory is a great game as well, totally worth playing.”
“The third story also likes to throw you into very long corridors that spawn multiple rooms with absolutely no checkpoints in between.”
“And while with a controller you can at least aim without troubles, the keyboard is a completely different story.”
“Ruinsstory also has an actual story, as well as some lore pieces you can get easily while playing!”
