An Unforgettable Emotional Journey Rating: 9/10 Honestly, The Heroes Around Me completely took me by surprise. It's an absolute triumph of an indie game that takes you on a deeply emotional ride. It really digs into the lives of its characters, making you genuinely feel their joy, struggles, and heartache right along with them. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3805320948 The Good For me, the absolute heart of the game is its narrative. It's surprisingly heavy and emotional, and the characters are written with so much depth that I couldn't help but get attached to them. Because the game is linear, the pacing stays super tight and focused, and the simple controls let me just sit back and absorb the story without fighting the game. Very calm and cozy. It balances the heavy emotional moments with some genuinely funny, cute scenes that had me smiling. The cutscenes are expertly crafted, and the soundtrack is completely on point. It always hits the exact right note for whatever the scene is trying to make you feel. Visually, I was blown away by the pixel graphics. It shows that retro art styles can carry an insane amount of emotional weight and beauty. The Bad I ran into two specific issues: [*]Language Barrier: At one point, the English translation completely vanished, and only Chinese text was visible. I have no idea if that was intentional or a bug, but it definitely pulled me right out of the moment. I had to translate those words using my phone, and it was no fun. [*]No Chapter Select feature: Yes, there is literally no chapter select feature. If you miss those achievements, a 2nd playthrough is the only option. For a chapter-based game launching in 2024, a chapter select is a big miss. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3805868140 Time & Achievements? 6.9 hours to 100%. I could have completed it in 4.5 hours if I wasn't roaming everywhere and talking to random people haha. There are 3 missable achievements out of 9. And as I said before, there is no chapter select feature, so keep a guide handy for these missable achievements. I used keyboard & mouse as the controller was acting weird when I started it. That should do it. Final Verdict Brilliant storytelling, cute moments, and a fantastic soundtrack make this a must-play. Just watch out for the missing chapter select if you're hunting achievements! Proves that pixel graphics can convey more emotion than AAA CGI. A flawless emotional journey from start to finish.
