The game’s UI is in need of some quality of life improvements, but the team has overall done a great job translating it to the Xbox scene and for use with a controller. There have also been some notable bugs encountered, such as music not being loaded in, the in-game clock freezing until I re-watched a random video I had already seen, and the in-game cursor highlighting entire paragraphs instead of words when going through video transcripts for terms. For the most part, Telling Lies looks great, although there are the odd dips in picture quality, particularly in the opening scene. He does brilliant work, and the fact that his work went unrecognized at many major gaming award events last year is a genuine shame.įinally, I’d like to touch on the performance of the game and other miscellaneous factors. All actors do a great job, but it’s Logan Marshall-Green who truly makes an impression here, perfectly portraying his character David throughout all of his highs and lows.

Others include being unable to search videos by date, having to “log out” of the in-game computer to close the game, and an incredibly inconsistent in-game clock. This is just one of many quality of life features that Telling Lies is lacking. The end result is not unlike rewinding a DVD or VHS, albeit with only one setting – and it’s slow. Speaking of unnecessary frustrations, in order to skip through some of the videos’ long pauses (sometimes upwards of 2 minutes), or to scroll back to an important line of dialogue, you have to use the triggers.
Unfortunately, however, only up to 5 videos will be shown, when sometimes upwards of 60 to 70 potential videos exist, which adds an unnecessary level of frustration. Searching Pookie generates additional results). one character uses the term “Pookie” as a term of endearment for another. One of the easiest ways to do this is by highlighting key terms and phrases in videos and searching for others that feature the same phrase (i.e.
