Highly Recommended

Finished my second playthrough and reminded why I enjoyed this game so much. There's just something so enchanting about it. It's a shorter game at about 3-4hrs of play, but it packs a punch in that time. Like any good "walking sim" style game, Tacoma focuses on story, atmosphere, and characters. You play as Amy, a contractor dispatched to the Tacoma space station to collect data, as well as the AI core ,to bring back to the company that owns the station. We come into things after the station has been hit by a meteor shower, the facility quickly losing O2. Using an AR system, you're able to glimpse into the past of the ship and its 6 inhabitants. You witness not only the flurry of activity in the last few days, but going back even further into their year long mission. There are also plenty of messages and other secrets to find. All of this combines for a rich story, and a winning ending. The diverse cast of characters are delightful. The voice acting brings them to life, as you only see them in pictures and AR playbacks where they're represented by different colorful outlines. The devs have also included sign language, which was such a nice addition. My only complaint would be that they didn't have an option for viewing the text of things in an alt text format, as some of the handwriting can be difficult to read. It's even more of a shame considering their otherwise inclusive nature. Overall, I would highly recommend this to those who are fans of walking sims/narrative games. And, for those new to this style of game, I think it's an excellent place to start. This one is a gem.
