Few game developers have ever ventured such an open-hearted project about human frailty – and knocked it out of orbit.

I cant recommend this game enough simply for the experience of a totally unique game unrivalled in the games from the past, present and future. A must buy for those wanting an emotional connection to the developers themselves.

The true challenge of The Beginner’s Guide is understanding it in its entirety.

The Beginner's Guide addresses a lot of heavy issues in its 90-minute journey: Depression, loneliness, self-doubt, and the need for validation are but a few of the topics touched upon. Despite the inherent veil of fiction, Wreden's narration is well-written and feels honest.

It’s easy to have mixed thoughts about The Beginner’s Guide, but as a game that aims to make you think, it does accomplish this goal.

This is a nice way to tell an interactive story, and even though not everyone will grow fond of it, it's worth a try.

It sensationalizes the concepts of the misunderstood creator and the misguided audience and begs pity from the latter.
