The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - PS4 Review
More games have been releasing with a focus on narrative of late, and I consider that to be a good thing. Click and point adventure titles have been making something of a comeback, and even games referred to as walking simulators are more about the story than the gameplay mechanics. It would be easy to call The Vanishing of Ethan Carter a walking simulator, but that would be selling the title short. There is plenty to see, but enough to do to justify thinking of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter as a complete game worth experiencing.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - PC Review
In The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the player takes on the role of Paul Prospero, a faceless narrator with strange powers and a gravelly voice. He calls to mind the hard-boiled PI of noir fiction, but the actor’s delivery of his lines sounds more like Watchmen’s Rorschach to me, in tone if not in content. Paul has been summoned to the countryside by a letter from a boy named Ethan, and it's soon apparent that there are secrets to be uncovered and hidden details to be found all over the landscape.
