Written By: JP Developers: Grant Wilde & Co. Platforms: PC, Mac and Linux Genre: Romance, Fantasy Release Date: Aug. 9, 2013 Official Website | …We need to have a talk about Anvils and why I hate them. Look, I know for a fact I have a wide spectrum of readers here and that’s exactly what I want. What we believe about politics or religion shouldn’t be a factor in the games we like. The idea of it even being a factor is just ridiculous to me and, to be clear, I say that knowing what many of the people I cover believe about politics. So, where do Anvils fit into that? For the purposes of this website, an Anvil is a visual novel that’s focused on hammering the reader with its ideology and little else. That isn’t to say you can’t have politics in your game: that would be stupid. But if that’s ALL your game is about, then I don’t want to play it and I don’t care what side of the spectrum you’re on. It is the absolute laziest type of fiction to me and I have a very visceral reaction when I see it done. This is all a very fancy way of saying I’m sorry if I start foaming at the mouth in this review. It isn’t my fault; it’s just what Always the Same Blue Sky did to me. Come on, I’ll explain a bit better within. And if you're the type that cares, there are spoilers inside! |
