Game Ratings for The Gap Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
The Gap may suffer from some overly basic puzzle design and visual ticks, but this is ultimately an enjoyably mysterious narrative that's still worth the few hours it takes to see through. Its launch price feels a bit high for what’s on offer here, but we’d suggest scooping this one up the first time it goes on sale.
Rectify Gaming: 10 / 10
The Gap is an extraordinary and awe-inspiring creation that transcends the boundaries of conventional gaming. It is a testament to the power of interactive storytelling, offering players a unique opportunity to explore the intricacies of memory, emotion, and the human psyche. The game’s ability to seamlessly weave memories, emotions, and alternate dimensions into a cohesive and immersive experience is a testament to the creative genius of Label This and the skilled craftsmanship of Crunching Koalas. The Gap is not just a game; it’s a work of art that challenges players to think, feel, and reflect on their own experiences. The minimalist ambiance, the exploration of parallel realities, and the themes of self-reflection and trust all come together to create a gaming experience that is unlike any other.
WayTooManyGames: 7 / 10 by Oliver Shellding
The Gap doesn’t drop breadcrumbs to lead players to the end, it uses megaphones to scream answers at you while also keeping you completely in the dark. It’s like if Verbal had started his conversation with “I’m Keyser Soze” but then been frustratingly vague about what he was doing on the day in question. The result is something that’s an interesting and big swing in the world of game storytelling, but it only gets a piece of the ball: it doesn’t connect enough for a homerun.
