Unfortunately, each subsequent project of DONTNOD studio more and more clearly proves that the phenomenal Life is Strange was more of an accident at work, and the regular level of this team oscillates around mediocrity. Deviations from the norm, on the other hand, are more likely to occur downward than upward. After the ambitious Vampyr, whose scale clearly outgrew the team, the polarizing Life Is Strange 2, and probably the best, although still so-so at best, Tell Me Why, we got a simply flopped Twin Mirror.
In the latest work of the French team, the key element of their games – the narrative layer – failed all along the line.
