Another beautiful game that follows up on Kyle Hyde’s character from Hotel Dusk very nicely. The cast isn’t as great as the original’s- there are a few characters in Last Window who feel as though they’re out of place, which is something I never would’ve said for Hotel Dusk- and the story is good but lacking that personal feel that I really enjoyed about its predecessor. Taking place over a week rather than a day means that it’s not as tightly-written but that objectively more is going on, and I don’t think one way of telling a story is better than the other, but it simply just is the way it is. And I really liked Last Window’s story! I feel as though this review is giving the impression that I’m disappointed with it, and I’m really not. It had some really, really good moments, and even if the overall cast is lacking there are some stellar cast members. If you played Hotel Dusk, you should definitely find some way to play Last Window, because it’s well worth it (with perhaps all of the same mildly frustrating aspects of the gameplay as the last one).
