Atmosphere and Sound Design
The atmosphere in "The Wreck" is nothing short of masterful. The visuals are impressive, with a stunning art style that blends realism and dreamlike sequences. The environments are meticulously crafted, and voice acting is impeccable, especially our protagonist, it was a joy to listen to her throughout the whole game.
Performance and Technical Aspects
I played "The Wreck" on Lenovo Legion Go, and the performance was largely smooth, with only occasional minor hiccups. There were some weird low textured or low poly patches in models, but nothing immersion breaking. There are no lip sync and bare minimum of animations but I didn’t mind that at all.
Conclusion
"The Wreck" is about emotions, internal monologue, dealing with psychological traumas, toxicity in people and loss. But it is also about love, support and hope. It was an emotional rollercoaster for my brain, a feast for my eyes and music to my ears.
