Nevertheless, with that to the side, it’s certainly interesting enough to maintain traction for a few good completions. Instead, it all feels a bit heavy handed. The choices are often quite hefty, which would have worked wonders if I gave a rat’s behind about those that these choices impact. Personally, as an outsider looking in, I cant really say that the game does a tremendous job at making you feel connected to its cast. I say that lightly because I’m specifically referring to Reynardo’s outlook here. The choices tend to consist of meaningful beats. It’s a simple but very effective mechanic. One run-through is broken down into five sections, in which, as aforementioned, you’re given a choice at a section’s beginning to determine where the plot will be driven next. The campaign takes little more than an hour to complete, but given that there’s over twenty different combinations of storytelling, it’s fair to say that there’s some replay value to be found here. It’s up to you to guide Reynardo’s story in new directions, which is dished up via a collection of branching choices throughout play – not too dissimilar to how Shadow the Hedgehog worked.Įach and every choice that you make, including that of your very first choice, will ultimately alter the course of the story. That’s the baseline foundation as far as the plot is concerned, and I cant really go any further than that due to the way the storytelling works. Reynardo finds himself up against a mad Emperor and his army of evil and nefarious ravens. The game serves itself as an action-RPG, one that throws its players into the role of ex-pirate and unlikely hero, Reynardo. It’s far from perfect and it has annoyances, but overall, it’s pretty solid. Why are we talking about this? Because Stories: The Path of Destinies houses a very similar structure, and to its credit, it works quite well. It was a neat gimmick that stuck with me for some time. Said choice would tell me to turn to a specific page to continue the branch of my story from that point onward. I’d read them, I’d get to a certain section, and would then be met with a choice. Going back to my childhood, I recall reading books that allowed me to bend the narrative.
