Take Twin Peaks Season 2, and make it a silent film. Aesthetically pleasing, but not for everybody. Recommend completing in one sitting.

Definitely a walking simulator game that you experience over play. But what a HELL of an experience.

I first played this game as a teenager in 2018. I didn't get it. I thought it was pretentious, trying too hard to be abstract and its plot pointlessly obscure. I came back to it 8 years later to collect the achievements I was missing and fully strike it off my backlog, and I wasn't looking forward to the process. In revisiting it, though, I was left very taken aback. Behind the pretty scene design, beautiful soundtrack, and minimalist gameplay is a profound story about systemic corruption and its appetite to survive and spread at any cost. The game is heaving with symbolism and detail I had completely failed to notice when I was younger; I think you could spend longer analysing the plot and each metaphor than you would for a full playthrough or even two. Perhaps what is most divisive about this game is that all of this is communicated non-verbally, and necessitates patience and careful attention to understand. I definitely wasn't the right audience the first time I played, but I'm glad I seem to have grown to be it by the time I tried again. This game is, I think, a prime example of horseshoe theory - some people like it because it's a "trippy" 90s detective story in Suburban America. A lot of people don't like it because it's artsy and tries hard. And on the other end are people who like it because it elegantly and originally gets its point across: as is put in one of the achievement descriptions, "There are no passengers ... we are all crew." If we do not actively make the hard and scary choice to resist corruption, we have no choice but to become complicit and further it. Yes, it's a walking simulator. Yes, there's no dialogue. Yes, you can finish it in two hours. But if you are somebody keen on literary analysis and meaningful storytelling, I think you would love Virginia. I'm very glad I gave it a second chance.

Gaming equivalent of an acid trip, if you enjoy that sort of thing in real life, you’ll probably enjoy this, if not, it’s a toss-up.

I can sort of see why it got a mixed review. Though I honestly wonder if it has something to do with the fact it has PoC as a protagonist. Honestly, I liked the experience, although I don't think the story was suited for a dialogue-less game. There were several points where some dialogue would have helped to follow the story. Because most of the characters look alike. I wish it ended earlier, at a point, but then it kept going a bit. The music was great! The style, while very rudimentary, was distinct enough to make it its own thing. Definitely liked the use of colors here. Very warm and inviting, but also slightly autumnal. You can see Twin Peaks being an influence here (the bar scene definitely showcased that).
