It is impossible to think about something else, a child with a madness. When I was really in skateboarding, every piece of architecture was full of tricks that I could never take off. When I was on the quest to complete Super Mario Bruce 3 For me, any piece of paper became a new surface outline.
For eight -year -old Julian in the new game DevoteeThis madness is football, and it becomes a sweet, and short, life drama background about passion and memory.
Devotee Founded in Queto in 2001, just as Ecuador is on the way to qualifying for the men’s World Cup for the first time in its history. The story follows Julian in qualifying stages, as soon as he goes about his life – or at least he tries. A lot is going on at the moment, why the country is still dealing with its effects An economic crisis. Soccer becomes a relief valve, which is a hopeful story to follow during difficult times.

The game plays from the first person’s point of view and occurs in several days, each of which is an important match in Ecuador. The scenes are small but amazingly open, often young Julian – and the player also compels where to focus. He may be playing a 16 -bit football game while his mother tries to give him a lecture, or watching the window watching people watching a ball kicked around when he is listening to a lesson.
Sometimes it has a goal, such as going home for a meal or keeping an eye on your younger sister in the park. But there is always a disturbance. And it’s almost always a football ball. Most of the time, Julian has a ball on his feet, either kicking it with friends, or everybody’s party itself. When there is no ball, he kicks anything from a glass bottle Participant On the DVD
It has a real feature Devotee It also creates a very universal feeling of being a baby. The choice is tough between what Julian wants to do and the choice that he has to do, and often when his mother gets messed up, he lets her come to her. At one point, while playing hidden and searching, I lost his sister, and if I didn’t find me on time, I became a target of reaction. There are also moments where control is taken from you, and Julian’s mother will be dragged by her hand wherever she is considered.

The mutual interaction of these moments really puts you in Julian’s shoes, and there were key scenes that brought me back to my childhood. (Especially a little sibling bothers you while playing the video game.) All this is presented with characters such as unrealistic, exceeded back drop and comedy book. It seems that you are in a memory that has been enhanced by adult Julian – the game was developed by designer Julian Cordo and Animator and composer Sebastian Walbuvina – describing the scene at the beginning of each chapter.
Every time, stress is being developed as an Ecuador inch near the ability. (In most places of the game you can find a TV way to check the score in the current match.) All this ends in a beautiful fourth wall breaking moment that puts the story of this self in a big point of view.
Devotee Only two hours lasts, and most of the time is just kicking a ball around. And yet it manages to achieve many childhood emotions and every kind of childhood feelings.
Devotee Available at the works, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC with the switch version at work.
