Bear With Me Episode One is a great start to a series, and if it keeps up this level of quality throughout, it could be one of the best games of the year.

The first episode of Bear With Me still hints at a greater game to come, nicely setting a proper noir tone with some occasional creepy bits and a gleeful dose of snark throughout. But it sadly says a lot that the initial outing feels more like a demo for the game than an actual full-fledged chapter of the story. Except for one moral choice you get to make, there are no real twists and turns here, just nothing but a setup for better things to hopefully come and a handful of average-at-best puzzles.

Bear With Me: Episode 1 is a very intriguing concept wrapped up in a wonderfully dark world, with great narrative throughout and loveable characters. This first episode sets the stage for an adventure that is sure to get better as times goes by, but currently one that is held back by the bear's slightly off voice acting, and a few puzzles that are not solved in the most logical of ways, instead forcing certain triggers to occur before progress is made - a trap many games of this ilk fall into, sadly. So far this is enjoyable, but it has unfulfilled potential for the time being that hopefully forthcoming episodes will fulfil.

Первый эпизод Bear With Me застрял на перепутье: авторы выпустили игру, так до конца и не определившись, какой она должна быть. Одной амбициозной задумки оказалось недостаточно, чтобы получился цельный продукт, и пока до сих пор не ясно, в каком направлении игра двинется дальше.
