1/1/2023 0 Comments Bloodshore endingBLOODSHORE ENDING CODEThis review of Bloodshore is based on the PS4 version the game (played on PS5), via a code provided by the publisher. It’s a disparity that never redeems itself – not even by seeing terrible internet personalities meet their grizzly demise. It doesn’t work as a black comedy, instead never quite deciding if it wants to be funny or horrifying. But Bloodshore never quite hits the mark. We thought very highly of The Complexand Five Dates, and the recent Night Bookweaved an enjoyable narrative, too. Unfortunately, Bloodshore is Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media’s most disappointing collaboration yet. Ultimately the person you’re in control of feels little more like a face in a crowd, and so you’ll likely not care whether he lives or dies. But it also means that there’s little time to waste on plot-building and establishing a relationship between the player and the character. But when it’s hard to care at all about your character, those decisions don’t carry all that much weight.īloodshore‘s short running time is ideal for a game of this type – it should feel like an interactive movie, after all. (Though the option to enable ‘streamer mode’ in the menu effectively pauses the game while decision-making, giving you time to mull over your choice if you’d prefer.) Those decisions usually relate to which character you want to side with in a discussion or argument, or which way you want to move when travelling across the island. Fail to choose and the game will decide for you, taking your fate out of your hands. Though maybe you’ll enjoy seeing fake YouTubers shot in the face just enough to warrant it.Įvery decision you make in Bloodshore comes as a this-or-that choice that must be made quickly. Despite being only being about 80 minutes long, Bloodshore never left enough of an impression to make a second viewing feel worthwhile. Whether you’ll be inclined to, though, is another matter. In one playthrough, you’ll see about 60 scenes of Bloodshore‘s possible 300, meaning there’s plenty of scope for multiple replays. Of course, this isn’t just a movie, it’s an FMV video game, where you’re able to make your own choices and steer the outcome of the narrative – or at least change a few things along the way. The push-and-pull between comedy and thriller/horror never really lands, making much of Bloodshore‘s story feel like an incoherent mess. Even as someone who thrives on watching horror films I found Bloodshore hard to stomach at times. This is rather brutal at times, so if you’re not a fan of violent horror, you’re going to find this a hard sell. There’s a disparity between its jokes and its propensity to poke fun at streamers and influencers, and the joy it takes in seeing them shot dead. But once the next morning rolls around and the new rules are laid out, things quickly take a turn for the dark.īloodshore can’t quite decide what it wants to be. It’s an opportunity to gather some media attention – and the ability to drop out at any time means many of the contestants aren’t really taking it seriously. Of course, everyone knows why they’re there. They’ve got an evening to set up camp and prepare themselves before the ‘game’ starts. Like a real-life PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Bloodshore starts with a group of streamers parachuting onto an unknown island. The result is a messy, dystopian take on celebrity obsession one that makes for very uncomfortable viewing. And so, Bloodshore intermittently cuts between focusing on its characters and showing scenes of Kill/Stream’s presenters and viewers. There can only be one winner, and it’s whoever is left standing at the end.Ĭalled Kill/Stream, the event is a global phenomenon, with millions of fans tuning in to potentially see their favourite internet celebrity shot dead live on air. The latest FMV game from Good Gate Media and Wales Interactive sees the top influencers from around the world come together for one ultimate contest: a fight to the death. If you were an influencer, would you risk your life – and potentially take others – for ultimate fame and glory?
