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.

It’s been a little over a day since I finished The Gap and I am still processing everything that I experienced within the walls of Joshua’s mind, and if you choose to enter it, it will likely draw you in akin to the way What Remains of Edith Finch or your favorite narrative based walking sim would. Despite suffering due to a lack of direction on a few of the puzzles, it’s a game that you won’t forget. 9 out of 10 Pros - Outstanding Visuals - Intriguing Narrative - Ability to Skip Some Puzzles If They Prove to be Too Difficult Cons - Some Puzzles Lack Proper Direction The Gap was developed by Label This and published by Crunching Koalas.

The Gap is a very pleasant surprise, and a great amount of praise needs to be showered onto its developer, the two-person team of Label This. This is a clever and engaging thriller, brought to life with believable characters and a very grounded approach to science fiction that we can really get behind. It isn’t without the odd hiccup, but they’re easy to forget once you’re absorbed into Joshua’s compelling story.

The Gap on Nintendo Switch was a fascinating experience in its structure as a walking simulator. It brings in quite a few elements you don’t see in the genre and tackles some interesting and important themes. My only complaint is that it was a bit annoying to move the cursor with the right stick to a specific location to interact with some objects. It needs a snapping option. -Mikhail Madnani SwitchArcade Score: 4/5 New Releases Botany Manor ($24.99) Well, Mikhail did a whole review of this one up above there.

For my slights with the overall narrative, however, The Gap offers real problems, giving a more sci-fi glimpse to the world of genetic and neurological disorders and how it impacts dreams, ambitions, and our families. For those that love to delve into the mind and its inner workings (with a bit of stretching done to the science behind it), look no further than here. ∎ The Gap Played on Xbox Series X PROS - Beautiful presentation and solid controls, puzzles aren't difficult and are well-paced throughout. - Narrative presents neuroligical problems naturally and how it can affect one's life in a serious manner. CONS - Joshua's relationship with his peers feels one-sided, like he's always the enemy.

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. It’s worth seeing and playing with someone to discuss ideas and theories, but this isn’t something I’d revisit.
