Hello, ladies and gents. This post is about The Stanley Parable. You can find all of your favorite Youtubers playing it: Pewdiepie (love your videos), Markplier, Tobuscus, you name it. Originally a Half Life 2 mod, The Stanley Parable was released as a stand-alone game on October 17, 2013, and could be one of my favorite games by far. But enough with the boring facts on what I think and who plays this game. You want a review. I thought this game was absolutely amazing, with great graphics, easy to remontrols, and a fun story line that made me feel as if I were actually inside. This game is a first person game where you, Stanley, are part of a story that is being told by a narrator. You can choose to go along with the story or to forge your own path, with the narrator responding to your choices you make. The narrator is a cheery fellow, with witty comments and cheesy compliments and reprimands at the ready. For those of you who’ve already played the game, you can find more of the Narrator in an announcer pack to Dota 2, or so says everyone’s beloved Wikipedia. (link here) It also has multiple endings, which kept me running around for a while trying to find them all. IGN stated that, "Sometimes The Stanley Parable feels like an exploration of the peculiar madness of boredom." (link here). My favorite ending of this game would have to be the one with Minecraft and Portal. I love both of these games, and seeing them both together under one of the greatest puzzle games I’ve ever played just made me feel that warm, tingly feeling that gamers get when they see references. Some of my other favorites are the baby game ending, where the narrator has you play a game in which you have to save a baby, and eventually a puppy, from dying for four hours, the freedom ending, where Stanley escapes the facility, and the ending with Stanley being crushed to his death, with the option of saving Stanley’s life. Spoiler Alert! But for all of you guys that enjoyed the Portal games, Antichamber, or Nomic would definitely enjoy The Stanley Parable. But enough of what I’ve said: go out and play the game for yourself! It costs $14.99 on Steam (link here) for both Microsoft Windows and OS X. What should I review next? Tell me in the comments.
