If nothing else, the actors go out of their way to render their interpretations are convincing. There are key revelations that are liquidated within a few minutes: the script leaves no room for any further study, and consequently also the characterization of the characters is almost nil, except for the details related to the background of the supporting actors.Īnd to be a product focused on action, splatter and adrenaline, even in this sense Bloodshore leaves a lot to be desired: the fighting sequences at the base of the title are in fact very limited and leave ample space for dialogues and interactions between the protagonists (including a couple of very forced romances without context), sometimes soporific and without concrete developments. In practice, however, completing a game of Bloodshore actually requires very little time: the development of the story is in fact hasty, and fails to create the right amount of suspense in the interval between the twists that mark the progression, many of which they are rather “telephoned”. Theoretically, Bloodshore offers FMV films for a total duration of 8 hours, an aspect that therefore suggests not only a plot with continuous development, but also a replay value guaranteed the choices made during the game. The idea itself is not evil, and in the early stages of the adventure the construction of the story is overall quite captivating, also thanks to its outline made of eccentric presenters, livestreams, live commentaries and real-time reactions of streamers and spectators. This plot from B-Movie it is in fact the beating heart of Bloodshore, which has its roots in a not particularly original narrative concept, but leaving users the possibility to decide the fate not only of the protagonist, but also of the companions who surround him. Man must decide whether to act independently or trust his companions in what remains a free-for-all challenge, where life is at stake. However, Nick doesn’t participate in Kill / Stream just to find glory, but is determined to unravel the conspiracy that seems to be hiding behind the organization of this cruel game to the massacre. The protagonist of the adventure is Nick Romeo, failed actor in search of redemption: the player will live the story from his point of view, leading him to make choices that will have consequences not only on his survival, but also on the relationships with his group.Īccompanying him in the early stages of Kill / Stream there is in fact a handful of competitors willing to collaborate to increase their chances of survival: the former child prodigy Scarlet, the podcaster Ari, the vlogger Gav, the gamer Tish, the enigmatic Eight and finally Dev, suspected of being a cannibal. With such harsh rules, the creation of factions becomes inevitable at least in the early stages of the game: we will specifically follow the events of a small group of participants ready to parachute into the unknown. The debut of the new edition also brings with it a shocking novelty: it will not be possible to retire, either win or die. The event, very popular all over the world, is now in its thirteenth season, set this time on a remote island: 50 competitors they have been selected to do battle within a wild and hostile territory, scattered with anti-personnel mines well hidden in the woods and uncultivated lands of the island. Those who triumph can completely change their lives, gaining fame and 10 million dollars. Welcome to Kill / Streamīloodshore tells of a macabre and adrenaline-fueled reality show, Kill / Stream, which sees the participation of a large group of streamers, entertainers, celebrities on the avenue of the sunset and criminals who clash in a battle to the death in the style of battle royale.

In an era in which the revival of old glories and genres is consolidated, even FMV productions have enjoyed a new lifeblood: the software house Wales Interactive for example, it specializes in this type of production, having already made titles such as The Bunker or Late Shift. Despite everything, there have been some iconic titles: think of Night Trap (here is the review of Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition), whose violent contents contributed, together with the famous Mortal Kombat, at the birth of the American classification body ESRB. It is therefore no coincidence that most of the FMV games have been rejected by critics.
