A Story About My Uncle (The video game. No family stories here.)

   

      A Story About My Uncle is one of my favorite games of all time. Published by Coffee Stain Studios, creators of the popular and ridiculous Goat Simulator, ASAMU is a beautiful 3D puzzle made in Unreal Engine. The primary mechanics of the game revolve around swinging through caverns and the inside of mountains using a strange power suit, with the light beam-type thing that you shoot at things to grab on resembling the same core ideas as a grappling hook. Later on in the game, you can grapple more times before touching ground to recharge and can even get a boost in a direction through the usage of rocket boots.
      The story however, is quite awful. The voice acting isn't very good at all and there are clearly some translation issues (the game was written in Swedish). The story is short and ends abruptly, without much explanation or build upon. The story is the only thing stopping this from being my favorite game of all time. The graphics are stunning and the game play is to die for. But the story just sucks.
       I included this because I love it, and highly recommend the game to anyone and everyone. Do yourself a favor. Buy this game. Here's a link to the game's Steam page.
