The reviews highlight that the games primarily focus on interactive and humorous gameplay rather than a traditional narrative, with players engaging in guessing games that involve describing or identifying characters, stories, and objects. While some players appreciate the creativity involved in crafting spontaneous stories, the overall consensus is that these games lack a structured story, instead relying on player-generated content and social interaction for entertainment.
- “Just felt like giving this the 'outstanding story-rich game award' for the lols (as I couldn't give two awards to one title, this would have been Black Mesa otherwise).”
- “This game essentially has you trying to describe a person, story, or object using descriptors that are generally vague, but can add onto one another to make it more obvious.”
- “☑ no story”
- “Lastly, Blather Round is a game where you have to poorly describe a story/show/person, and people have to guess it.”
- “Blather Round is where you get a famous person, character, story, etc. and have to describe it using the in-game prompts, and it can be hard but it really depends on how quick your friends can be to catch on.”
