Dust: An Elysian Tail

theedangle's Dust: An Elysian Tail (Xbox 360 Games Store) review

Dust my first XBLM Experience

To open this review I should state that this is not the type of game that I normally play but it won me over right from the start. This is the first action adventure RPG type of game that I have played in quite some time but being home sick for over a week I wanted a game that could enthrall me with its story more so than the usual sports games that I play. The look of the game is fantastic with each chapter having its own unique style of color and art and I kept finding myself really looking forward to the next chapter just wondering what it was going to look like. The story was surprisingly deep for only having about 15 hours to tell it and I thought the main characters were great. The challenge arenas were a great addition as well and it added a whole separate game play experience to the package. This was the first game I completed to 100% (or 117% as this game would tell you) in a long time. I got much more than my 15 dollars worth.

It surprises me nearly every year with Xbox Summer of Arcade that my favorite games this generation and even Game of The Year came from a small $15 package made by a small group of people or primarily a solo effort like Braid, and Bastion. Dust: An Elysian Tail is no different from this phenomenon and could very well be the best game out this year. If you have a 360 and can stomach the “furry” content of the game, then you should stop reading and start this amazing journey of humor, sadness, and...
