Lo rejugué después de 8 años. Un ejercicio en nihilismo que muchas veces me hizo pensar en el valor que tenía jugar a juegos en primer lugar. Al mismo tiempo, siempre he tenido la sensación de que, en su afán por cuestionar una de las facetas más elementales del videojuego, el juego que representa Stanley Parable se resentía en última instancia. Creo que, como ventana sobre la que cuestionar prejuicios y convenciones, esta obra es perfecta, pero que como herramienta para construir alternativas estaba condenado a quedarse corto. Esa falta de resolución es la que creo que me dejó intranquilo en su día y que aún me deja.

Replayed it after 8 years. An exercise in nihilism that made me think about the value of playing games in the first place. At the same time, I've always had the feeling that, in its quest to challenge one of the most elemental facets of gaming, the game that Stanley Parable represents ultimately suffers. I think that, as an opportunity to challenge conventions and question prejudices, this games does exactly what it purports to do. But as a tool to build alternatives, it was set to failure from the start. That lack of resolve is what left me restless then and still leaves me now.
