Dec. 2025

Atmospheric similar to Firewatch, mystery, but low stakes as it is mostly an exploring and following the story. Fairly short play as well, but I enjoyed it.

Tacoma is well made for what it sets out to do. Unlike Gone Home, which leaned heavily on mystery, Tacoma focuses more on the people aboard the space station, slowly building toward a reveal about the corporation behind it all. The world building and characters are honestly more compelling than the main plot its biggest weakness is that the story holding everything together feels a bit underwritten. It’s a low stakes, very guided experience, and I can see why some players might lose interest early on. But the AR segments are absolutely the highlight. The amount of effort it must’ve taken to script and perform every overlapping conversation so cleanly is wild, and as a mechanic it’s far more engaging than the letters and audio logs from Gone Home. Choosing which threads to follow makes the story feel more alive. Basically, everything Gone Home did well, Tacoma improves on except for the core narrative, which feels almost incidental even though it fits with the world it builds. Still, if you enjoy walking sims, Tacoma is an easy recommendation as “another one of those,” and a well-crafted one at that.

An interesting game to play in our current technological climate. I can't say I outwardly disagree with any of the ideas posed in this game, but the position taken is a seemingly dated one. Either that or this entire thing flew way over my head. There is also the caveat that I have very mixed feelings about the way the player interacts with the game itself. I had very little agency in anything that happened and my personal curiosity and interest were never met with any kind of response. That isn't overtly negative as I think the idea is you as the employee are an onlooker, but it would have been cool to have a little more happen in response to my active participation in all the little dots being connected. By engaging with the gameplay mechanics like viewing chat logs and work station messages I learned things and then that was it. This game took me about 3 hours to beat because I really wanted to look into all that I could with the hope that the game would reward me in some way. Instead I just kind of learned more about the characters, but much of it had little to do with the plot. I hope to play through this once or twice more because I feel like there is some bigger idea I'm not picking up on. I say all this, but the game is still spectacular. Coming from the studio that made Gone Home this is a very decent and competent walking sim that surely any fan of the previous game would enjoy.

March 2025

This game feels very surreal in our current political climate (2025). Please everyone, remember we're all human. Take care of one another. Stand up for one another. Don't let corps take advantage of you!

TLDR: A well constructed story experience Pros: - I like the way Tacoma tells its story, it's very fun to pick through an event over and over while following a different thread each time - the writing holds up, people feel realized, and you can intuit the gaps in the recordings, and the parts you need to fully understand the story are all there if you look, I never felt lost or out of the loop - it's got a fun undertone, looking for the cat in each room or doing some of the other extra stuff for achievements highlights this - While today, AI as we know it is lightyears away from what is present in the game, the themes of how people's lives are controlled by and intertwined with corporate power, has only aged like fine wine Neutral: - I wish there was an additional interaction button, since LMB is how you grab and drop items, as well as how you open doors, I kept accidentally dropping stuff i was trying to carry into another room (you could say skill issue though, because as long as your cursor is on the interact prompt you can open a door without dropping stuff) - I forgot to check if there was an option to enable subtitles in the menu, but if there is it seems like it should be on be default - in rooms with multiple conversations, I sometimes struggled to hear what was said in the overlap. Granted the spatial audio has very short fall off, so as long as you are standing right next to the character you want to focus on, you'll be able to hear just fine Cons: - I sometimes wish I could move a tad faster, a toggle sprint or light jog would have been nice, but then again I went back and forth a lot more than a normal playthrough when trying to get all achievements
