It's the closest thing to a novel I have ever played. Aside from it being text-heavy, it demands your attention. If you skip things, you will get confused.

Kentucky Route Zero feels like an mid-50's surrealist Americana novella.

It's 'artsy' snd gameplay light. That's just the sort of game it is. That never bothers me - if it bothers you, you won't like KRZ.

Inconsistently between acts frustrated me though. It added variety, and added to its surrealism which are both pluses. However, I felt pacing was all over the place.

I didn't actually enjoy Act I very much, I don't think it is a great introduction into the world (it improves once you "reach the house" though).

Acts II and III were wonderfully developed in comparison, Act IV then was a massive disappointment (seriously, such a s**t chapter). Act V was then my favourite.

Thinking out loud at this point. Overall KRZ succeeds in providing its own narrative under its own terms, though, and if you're into narrative games don't miss this one.

Hmm, this sounds interesting. I do like a good story driven game, so this will be going on the wish list. I'll wait for a sale though, like I do for most games over $10

That's the only distinguishing quality from you and the others; You won't quit.

At least someone understands. Good looks on that last comment to.
