Reverie
SCORE: 64
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
download code for Reverie on the PS4. This code is a cross buy code so
it can also work on a Playstation Vita. There is a limited physical copy
release of Reverie also available on the Internet. Reverie is a 162 meg
download. So this is not a large game. Reverie is definitely an indie
game. You will understand more as you continue to read this review.
Reverie looks like Earthbound, and it plays like The Legend of Zelda. I
am talking about the first generation of those titles. Reverie might be
a bit better looking than those older games. If it does it is not by
much. The music in Reverie is okay. I was not annoyed by it nor was I
all into it. The storyline in Reverie is dark, and has some content that
families may find offensive.
What kind of content is in Reverie that families can find offensive?
There are these spirits on this island that are causing havoc. The
player must fight them off and free them from objects they possessed.
There is a strange religious system found within Reverie. For some
reason the words like to start a bit off of the screen for me. This made
understanding all of the story a bit complex.
Reverie contains action adventure violence. We whack enemies until they
poof out of existence. In my professional opinion Reverie is within the
E10+ rating and not the 'E' rating. The religious content as well as the
degree of violence makes it fit there much better. I can think of
numerous E10+ rated video games with the same level or less in terms of
violent content.
This game can be a bit on the short side if you pay attention to
conversations and stay on task. There are few swerves found within
Reverie. The dungeons made complete sense and I could always pick the
right side path. Reverie is a one player video game only. The dark
storyline is contrasted by bright graphics. I actually had fun playing
Reverie on the Playstation 4.
