  8.0

  Kentucky Route Zero isn't for the twitchy action gamer bent on blowing things up and going for combos or kill streaks. (In fact, any adventure game isn't for them.) Kentucky Route Zero is more for the gamer looking to slow down a little bit, and simmer in the odd mystery and atmosphere of a delivery in a parallel America.

  9.1

  Act II of Kentucky Route Zero provides another sharp walkabout into a beautifully surreal world. Though it poses more questions than it answers, it still left me pining for the next chapter. If the final three acts manage to be as powerful and evocative as the first two, Kentucky Route Zero is going to be looked back on as a tremendous and singular accomplishment in gaming.

  8.0

  When Conway and Shannon's investigations finally lead them to a way to move forward on their journey, that step forward is unexpected and wondrous, and the final scene plays with time and space in a way that feels dreamlike and magical. The act draws to a close with an image that leaves you eager to learn what other wonders await Conway and company along the Zero.

  8.5

  There were some hitches along the way, like the Zero being a bitch to navigate, some sound popping, and even a typo, but nothing too game-breaking to really deter the overall experience of the brief second episode. Each scene is a sight to behold and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of this brilliant adventure.

  Was das Spieldesign angeht, hätten diesem Adventure ausführlichere Dialoge sowie mehr Interaktionen an weiteren Schauplätzen sehr gut getan; der Einstieg an der Tankstelle hat das Potenzial leider nur kurz aufleuchten lassen. Dafür demonstrieren die Entwickler immer wieder ein Feingefühl für Beleuchtung und Sounds, so dass knisternde Situationen entstehen.

  Cardboard Computer nous livre avec ce second acte une suite à la hauteur du premier. Pour cela, il en conserve toutes les qualités puis les transpose ingénieusement dans une intrigue plus poussée et plus intéressante, toujours enveloppée de cet onirisme sous-jacent. Seulement, le titre se révèle vraiment très court, plus encore que l'acte 1 qui ne constituait déjà pas une itération très longue.
