The Beginner's Guide review
A peculiar experience thats personal, sincere, and full of questions to unpack, though it asks them far too bluntly.

It’s easy to have mixed thoughts about The Beginner’s Guide, but as a game that aims to make you think, it does accomplish this goal. It has some features you don’t see too often, such as narrator intervention during unplayable sections, and each level has something unique about it. I still don’t know whether I truly like it, but I’m not sure it’s meant to be liked, just taken for what it is.
