This is arguably one of my all time favorite games. I love philosophy and utilizing it in game play was a phenomenal idea. The execution was on point. You certainly have to think, but it wasn't frustrating or off-putting. I most definitely hope to see more like this!!!
Reviews for "Socrates Jones: Pro Philo"
This was, to put it simply, awesome.
It forced me to discuss deeply my system of values and to think a lot on all the question presented by the thinkers...
Moreove, Kant growing a beard was priceless.
Thank you.
I'm so glad someone finally made an extremely thought out, well made Ace Attorney style game!
I love all of the little quirks that the characters have, and the animations fit really well.
The music flows nicely with the progression of events, and I'm really excited to finish the game.
Excellent job guys, I can't wait to see what you come out with next!
I feel like I accomplished something with this game. When I beat it, it felt like I earned it. I will elaborate further on why this has occurred, but the sheer fact that it happened is a very good sign that you have made a great game.
First off as a writer (or I call myself that, at least) I appreciate your ability to bring out character traits. This should have been harder for Socrates and Ari as people in dire situations tend to act in black in white but somehow you were able to give character to them is amazing, at least to me.
I'm not going to credit you for "creating" all these points and counter-points because I could just find this stuff on the web instead of thinking about it myself (though if you did do that, DAMN) but the ability to adapt it into the general storyline is a nice trait that should be noted.
The game also got me thinking about my choices rather than blindly choosing them. Though I regret not insulting people's faces the payoff was that I really thought about things and played into the game. I felt at times lost and frustrated but usually my instinct to use the amended piece of the argument, question everything and to use the most recent statements (unless they have already been used). At other times I actually was able to figure out flaws in arguments, and it makes me feel good and not stoopid.
There really isn't much to the game apart from writing so there isn't much else I can praise. Someone could like the humor but for me it was hit and miss and there were times I knew the counterpoint but I couldn't figure out which statement to use. I liked the use of NONSENSE! as a verbal and visual confirmation you picked the right option.
And that's it.
The fact that the accident was caused by running into a deer caused me to give this game an automatic 5 stars.
Also: Calling the Arbiter ugly results in an instant game over.
