Expecting any other superhero interactive fiction to live up to that would be crazy. And compared to that, I'm not afraid to admit this is more of a lighthearted romp. But heck, I still like it.. This game is way too preachy. Do anything that the author doesn't agree with and be prepared to read paragraphs of condemnation about how you are contributing to a system of oppression.. I'm a big fan of the previous Heroes Rise games, and I've reviewed all the previous ones positively, but I'm not sure I can do the same for this entry in the series. My biggest issue with this story is that it very much feels like you're only playing half of the game. It ends extremely abruptly and without much resolution. It is perhaps, the longest of the 4 games but that only serves to add to the annoyance when you come to the end and it feels so rushed and incomplete. Obviously we're aiming for another trilogy here. Also, this may be an unpopular opinion but I feel as though the constant focus on 'gender indentity' takes me out of the story somewhat. Words like 'ze' and 'hir' just served to become more annoying as the game went on. On the plus side, I very much enjoyed the 'power set' of this new hero, and whilst there are a few typos the game is fairly well written, but let's cut out all of the gender fluid/ gender neutral bs.. Maybe not the best compared to the previous ones, but I enjoyed it a lot.. First of all, I'm a huge fan of Choice of games. I've only played a few, but these are among the best storytelling I've ever seen, no matter the media.Second, I played the Heroes Rise trilogy, and I loved every moment of it. So I had rather high expectations about Redemption Season, as the sequel to one of my new favorite licence.And I was kind of scared, seeing this only rated as "Variable" (in French), compared to the other games, which all have received really good reviews.I just completed my first run, achieving almost the best score of Legend possible, and I'll most certainly replay it.I get why so many peoples seems disappointed in this episode. ** minor spoiler here ** As some said, the game revolve heavily around the segregation among the Powered, and mostly toward Ani Powered, Morpho Powered and Disembodied. And some find you actually barely see it in game. I completely agree. Though, it's a logical and good narrative choice. Inside of the Hero Project, heroes are secluded and receive as less as possible informations from the "outer world" (like in most reality show). It's actually only logical, that you can't go on the streets and see this by yourself. ** end of spoiler **As usal, the narrative is extremely good, the story really got me to actually care deeply for characters, a thing that happens more than often with Choices of Game, and particularly Heroes Rise. So far, in my opinion, it's the storyline that offer exchanges with the most characters (and they're all unique and deep). I'm kind of discouraged by some aspects of the story, for personnal reasons. As such, would I rate it as my favorite narrative game? No. The first trilogy of Heroes Rise is still too fresh to let its place goes. But it's by far one of the best I played (as a text based game), and a top tier game in general (still in my opinion, obviously).Plus side: if you've played the first trilogy, many informations about what has been going on behind the scene can be foud here and there. To me, it explained a lot of situations I found rather dubious, and seems a bit more logical now. If you have one, I highly recommand to load one of your previous game, seeing the consequences of your choices and getting news from your previous self (and his/her group) is really a plus.9/10 to me (Heroes Rise as a whole being a 10/10. Individually, I have my favorites, and some I would have some concerns to express, but it's really designed to be experienced as a whole). First of all let me say, that in general I really like the Choice of Game games. I really love interactive novels where the reader forwards the plot by conscious decisions. Also I really like the superhero genre. The preceding trilogy, Hero's Rise, was great.However THP:RS falls flat. Somehow heroic deeds of superheroes are only second to the social commentary. Social commentary per se are nothing bad. But here it feels artificial and academic. You are being told that people are oppressed several times, but this oppression rarely is ever shown. A dystopian scenario with real oppression like slavery, forced labor, ghettos would have been a wonderful basis for a "rise to greatness" superhero story, where the hero manages to actually change something.Instead the "oppression" is constantly talked about in sermon-like expositions and seems oddly out-of-character and out-of-place.Ironically for a game that for a good part deals with identification, it is rather hard to identify with the main character. The hero powers are a great idea per se, but the daily changes are so radical, it's as if the MC constantly changes with them. Also, in a game where you want to drive the plot with your decisions how the MC should act, it is very obvious that the MC is often "nudged" into the "right way". If you don't walk that path, it could lead to punishment and a dissatisfying resolution.All in all, I'm missing the superhero story here, with all the cheese and stereotypes from the superhero genre. Conluding: I really can't recommend this game, as my high hopes after the really good first trilogy were not met.A similar interactive novel from Choice of Games from the superhero genre which I do recommend is: Community College Hero: Trial by Fire. Check that out instead!. The original trilogy was epic and this one is like meh.I didn't get attached to my character or any others one. JK annoy me as hell. Relationship are boring. It's all about political stuff like we don't have enough irl. I just want my heroe to be cool, win that stuff, get the muny and go home. Slugger.Happy to see my last character and black magic, tough. I will buy the next games hoping and crossing my fingers it will be much more better.. I've played the first 3 Heroes Rise games and am I very big fan, however I almost didn't by this one because of the number of very persuasive negative reviews. However in the end I found the prospect of a cameo from my hero, Specs, in a new series too hard to resist so I took the plunge and gave the redemption series a try. I am very glad I did.strangely, depending on your perspective, this could be both the strongest and most flawed entry in the heroes rise series. After playing it I can certainly see why there is a split between positive and negative reactions. While the negative reviews are not without merit, I can safely say that the flaws they highlight are not as severe as they make it seem.Let's get right into it: There are definitely author tracs in this game. Heroes Rise has always been a particularly progressive series and issues of discrimination and underrepresented persons are obviously very important to the author. While these themes have always been present in ther series, In The Redemption Project, they are now a dominant element of the story. Fans who just want a superhero/scifi adventure might find themselves disappointed with these political issues being so prominent this time. There's still plenty of superheroic action sequences and reality show drama to be enjoyed, but they now share equal stagetime with your character grappling these issues.While these issues don't feel out of place, since the game has given you a main character who is practically guaranteed to have a reason to care about them at least a little, there are points where I couldn't help but feel the game was lecturing me a bit. These segments aren't nearly as jarring as when it happened in Heroes Rise: The Hero Project, but this is still a game that needs you to meet it halfway more then any of the others did since while in the previous series you had a rather typical comicbook superhero with a familiar backstory, this time you have a superhero with an unusual powerset that is also heavily disenfranchised. So even though your hero is still quite customizable, unless you are an underrepresented person yourself, you might find it'll take more effort on your end to care about your character and put yourself in their shoes than in the previous series. At least I found it took a little while for me, but once I did I became utterly hooked.This game is bigger and longer then any of the previous in the series. The interesting, well developed characters that have a way of forcing you to care about them and hard decisions that I've come to expect from this series are all still here. (in fact I get the sense that the writer has actually improved quite a bit!) There were several times when I was faced with a decision that was so tough that I had to stop playing and leave my chair to really think about what I wanted my character to do, which has always been my favorite part of this series. The writing, characters, and the game's ability to present you with tough choices that make you second guess yourself after making them are the biggest strengths here and I found myself even more engaged by them then I was even in the previous series.The biggest weakness has been touched on in other reviews, at a few points I had the game wagging its finger at me a bt regarding some of the choices I have made. One was when another character was explaining how they are forced to sacrifice their ideals to survive in the competition and I was presented with 2 previous "bad" choices my character could use to realize how him and this other character are alike, and 1 previous "good" choice that he could use to reflect on how he acted differently. The other instance was near the end where a character with similar ideals as my main character railed into me for falling short by voting the way I did in an elimination. For a game about choice it feels weird to be judged in this way, and I don't know if it was due to the choices I made early on but I definitely felt nudged in a certain direction, particularly when my character had an epiphany and became highly motivated to start breaking down barriers near the end of the game. Personally though I thought it was alot of fun for the game to confront me about my earlier decision like that. It was an opprotunity for my character to realize that while he is still confident that he made the right call, it was still very much not a perfect decision, and he is not perfect either. There are no easy answers here.The bottom line is that I came into the Redemption Season expecting myself to not like it and I was very surprised to find that it is actually now my favorite of the entire series. If you are a fan of heroes rise I definitely recommend giving this one a shot, if only just to see if you end up liking it as much as I did. It's definitely a bold and different direction from the previous games but alot of what made them great is still here and I found myself warming up to the new elements as i got more invested in the story and the new main character. However, If you are new to the series, I recommend trying the previous trilogy first.If this game is the first in the series, (I always feel the necessary introductory nature of first installments makes them particularly weak) then needless to say I am very excited.. Edited on 12/04/16 for grammar/punctuation and adding a few more thoughts.)I'm a big fan of the Heroes Rise series and of Choice of Games in general. It's wonderful to be able to go back in time to the days of reading through a CYOA book as a kid.The Heroes Rise trilogy of games followed your own individual character who you coould customise with a few options such as gender, sexual orientation, codename, powers, etc. Throughout each game, you'd be faced with choices, some critical and some not so much, which would further tailor your character in terms of their sense of justice, their morals and their opinions on how powered individuals fit in society at large. It was a great story told over three games and there was a real sense of being a small cog in a big machine as other characters in this world evolved alongside you throughout the three games. In short, you should definitely go and play those three games before playing this one.If you have played the Heroes Rise trilogy, you can choose to carry your save data over to this game (though I did encounter a very annoying bug which meant I had to play through the whole of the last game again to make a fresh save which could be uploaded) which means that even though you're playing as an entirely new character, you'll get to encounter some fun little callbacks and some additional worldbuilding, courtesy of the choices you made in the HR trilogy. But what about this game? The Hero Project (THP from now on) has you once again take on the role of a customisable super hero who, in short, is tasked with saving their sister's life. It's a classic story made much more interesting by placing your character in a reality show environment. I got some real Hunger Games vibes from mingling with my fellow contestants and delivering interviews with my answers playing a role in whether or not I'd be going home or advancing to the next stage and it's this which is my main issue with this game. Although THP is a CYOA game and the choices, big and small, do indeed carry weight throughout the game it is pretty clear that the writer wants you to follow a set path. There is a theme running throughout the game of the oppression of the downtrodden and how as a member of the downtrodden, you could take it upon yourself to use your new reality show platform to reveal the true plight of your kind or, in theory, you can ignore this agenda and focus on helping your sister. Only you can't. Maybe I've not made the right choices but I was greeted by three game over screens (you can imagine my frustration after spending around an hour combing through the text and deliberating over my choices that I was told I'd failed and could either restart the whole game or sacrifice my legend score (a stat which tracks your hero's fame/notoriety) to go back a few choices and try again. No checkpoints, no save state.) after trying to pick three different sets of choices which followed the beliefs I wanted my character to have (a straight-talking, private person with a soft spot for her sister. Her only motivation for going along with the contest being to help her however she could. She had no particular interest in any political message and was just there for family). On my fourth go at it, I decided to have my hero take a much more vocal approach to her thoughts on the political landscape just for the sake of trying to get past this one part and was rewarded by being allowed to progress through the game. I can only wonder why the option to not have a particularly strong opinion on the plight of 'ani-powered' heroes was included if you can't actually progress through the game by going down this route.Although this decision by the writer has soured my opinion on this game, I still recommend it. At least to those familiar with the series. THP is a nice spin-off to the main HR series and it's pretty neat seeing decisions you made there coming back in some form here. The writing is great, characters are varied and memorable (JK is truly endearing) and this game will keep you hooked if you're a fan of the source material. If you're looking at this game and think it might be for you but haven't had the chance to play any of the other three then I highly recommend you look at those first. Pros - - Customisation. Name, codename, gender, sexual orientation, costume, sense of justice and more. Though do bear in mind that most of your potential enjoyment from this feature will come from your imagination. You can't choose your character's appearance or even something as basic as the colour of their hair but to me at least, that wasn't an issue. - The ability to upload your save data from the main HR series (though this game will only take a completed save from the final part of the trilogy).- An engaging story with twists and turns and memorable characters. JK, Weaver and a certain blast from the past definitely helped convince me to recommend this game.- Some truly creative super powers.- All of your stats are kept in one easy to find place where they can be readily referenced at any time.Neutral -- This is a text-only, CYOA game. There are no images and your enjoyment of this game will derive entirely from how much you enjoy reading and using your imagination.Cons - - Some illusion of choice. - Hidden stats that affect whether you'll be able to progress through the game, get to try again at the cost of a huge chunk of your character's fame score or have to restart entirely from scratch resulting in you having to click through a bunch of text you've already read and typing in names that you've already written.- Personally, I wasn't a fan of the main character's superpower. ///SPOILER/// You get to harness the abilities of a different animal every day. And also their appearance. You literally spend some of the game as a chicken man/woman. And as a wheelchair bound bumblebee person. ///SPOILER///In summary, THP makes for some nice worldbuilding in the thoroughly enjoyable universe of Heroes Rise. If you've played that trilogy or will be playing it in preparation for playing this game then you're going to enjoy THP a lot more than you would if this was your first taste of the series. £2.09 (until April 15th) for a very well written book that you can influence the outcome of is a very good deal indeed. Just give the main series a look first.
