My Big Sister is a game about Luzia and Sombria, two sisters who are trying to get back home after being kidnapped by strangers and Luzia takes it upon herself to ensure they both make it home.

I picked this game up on sale purely because of the title. In 2022 my big sister passed away and it's been something that we're still struggling with so when i saw the game titled this i wanted to experience what i assumed would be an emotional story.
I wasn't wrong, near the end of this game i was shedding tears at the parts that really hit home. The story is deep, comes with curveballs and in my opinion whether you've lost someone or not, this is worth it for the story once you follow it.

The game is a modern take on a retro influence and puzzles in each area to be able to progress further into the story, The characters are well made and each serve their own purpose in the story within each level and the progress the story makes over time.
I was also very suprised to learn that this game was also under the banner of Ratalaika games which are usually cheap, easy platinums.
Don't get me wrong, the platinum to this is easy with a guide, without a guide you'd take a while trying to find all the endings and certain places with certain actions to earn other trophies.

Although this game is quite short at roughly 3-5 hours there's alot that happens.
Each character has their own personality aswell which is something i really like in RPG games, some characters are funny, creepy, serious and there to add intruige.

I would definitely recommend playing this for the story, it will hit home alot more if you've experienced losing someone and at the end of the story when you find out what's really happening, it can be quite emotional.

Very well made game
