I like the premise. The story is interesting but certainly not riveting. The voice acting is good, and the art direction is great. The gameplay itself is ok with a few great ideas interspersed. If I were judging on these factors alone, I might give the game a 6 or 7 out of 10.

What really impacted my judgment was the technical issues that still have not been resolved. I had constant traversal and loading stutters when I started playing the game. It took far more community discussion reading and tweaking than it should have for a game that is so well reviewed. Vsync seems to be broken in this game: anytime I had it turned on, I got stuttering issues. I finally figured out that I could use Adrenalin software's features to remove screen tearing with Vsync off, and finally I figured out that Radeon anti-lag does not play well with the game. There were still quite a few stutters, especially when any new scene was loading (e.g. walking through a door, transitioning to 3D, etc), but I could live with that. It's just really distracting and ruins what could be a very beautiful game. Perhaps if these issues are ever sorted out, I might change my recommendation.

Un jeu à classer dans les platformers cinématiques, mais avec des séquences en vue à la première personne selon le personnage qu'on contrôle. Le gameplay est assez simple à prendre en main et le jeu très chouette. Niveau difficulté, c'est assez facile, excepté quelques passages qui m'ont donné un peu de fil à retorde.
L'histoire est assez prenante, mais un peu trop présente vers la fin du jeu où on a droit à quelques longues séquences d'exposition.
Les graphismes sont très bien fichus, la musique et les doublages aussi.

在两三年前就在b站上看逍遥散人玩过这个游戏，当时就觉得非常精良。这几天自己重新玩过一次后，更是觉得震撼。无论是主题/画面/背景音乐/互动形式，都非常的沉浸有趣。游戏有轻微难度的解谜，不是很烧脑完全可以驾驭，逃跑的过程也非常的惊险刺激，一些关卡需要快速操作其实会比解谜更难，好像自己也魂穿到特雷弗身上一样。向自由的灵魂致敬~Don't be a fool!

What. An. Incredible. Game!!

The acting is incredible, the story is so well-crafted and unpredictable at the same time. The charming dialogues, the vibrant colors and thoughtful scenes. Every cutscene is just incredible. A strong recommendation from me.

My only complaint is that the puzzles are sometimes a little disruptive to the storytelling. I am not a hardcore gamer and I came here for the story. I wish they either have an easy mode where I can just have an easier time enjoying the story, or they tone down the puzzle or control a lot more at times (especially some chase sequences are definitely annoying).

Regardless, what a great game.

4/4: The gameplay is light, but the presentation is superb. The world flows around you, dialogue responding to your pacing so naturally that it's hard to believe it's not static. The story kept us guessing the whole time and it made great use of 3rd/1st person perspective. Felt like an interrogation of the attention and steaming economies, which most modern-set games don't really engage with. The whole world was beautifully designed too: retro futurism as far as the eye could see. I kept wondering why we don't have lobbies like that. And where their noses were!

It is a very fun take on the Truman show trope. There were multiple times where I thought I was sure of where it was going and it pleasantly subverted my expectations. At times the gameplay can either be a bit finicky or annoying, but it is mostly good and works to tell the story quite effectively. The POV switches I think are particularly well done, while being frequent enough that you get variety.

[h3]Parkour/Side Scroller[/h3]
A kind of Story-Rich/Novel game but very quickly becomes a Platformer with Parkour which destroys the immersive and fun story of the game. The only "point and click" yes it has that tag still is that you have to click on things, often while running away from the "Tour agents".

It's not a bad game, but it's just not my thing. I just could not even remotely begin to complete this game, jsut far to much wild click timing and clicking about the screen while mashing the CTRL, the SHIFT and the right-arrow keys.

Games like it, but that actually were my thing can be found here https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/90678

I always like these sorts of cinematic platformers, but this one takes it up a notch by introducing an extra layer of controls and interactions, befitting of the setting. I'm still in the first half, but I'm really enjoying my time so far.

Story+ending get a 10/10 from me. What a thrilling, disturbing, colourful ride! I have seen some passionate comments about the ending not being what they expected, I have to heavily dsagree.
No spoilers from me, but the ending fits perfefectly for this story, if you consider the setting, the world state and that, no matter how beautiful, colourful, upbeat and super fun is the adventure we are having (it really was!) this is still a dystopia. The story lingers in my mind just because of what the ending left me with, Thank you Out of the Blue team for always finding that unique point of view in your stories.

I went in blind and it was the best idea ever. Took me 7 hours to complete and I'm still missing a few achievments. I didn't feel the game dragging, I was never bored, the puzzles kept their freshness, and while I would prefer "more", at the same time it already feels like a very well-rounded experience.

I had so much fun! Amazing, moving, smart, immersive, keeping the tone light and not forgetting the reality of it all. And I was on more than one occasion laughing out loud from the dialogues, the character reactions, what the game threw at me and it was a solid ride until the end.

Extra points for the Game art (so beautiful and cool!), the puzzle design (I love me some variety!), the voice acting was top notch, keeping the story light and thrilling and also scary / urgent is no easy feat!
I noticed from the Call of the Sea that this team knows how to set the exact tone and mood to keep the player confident and actually having fun while dealing with situations that are really dire if you think about it!
Unique stories from a unique team.

American Arcadia is a a step up over similar games of its type. An adventure game where you control Trevor Hills, running and platforming, with some light puzzle elements, as you try to free him from a life that he had never realized was a lie. This, interspersed with some first person moments as you control Angela, a woman on the outside who wants to help free Trevor, and all of the citizens of Arcadia. Arcadia, a city whose citizens are unknowingly filmed 24 hours a day for the entertainment of the masses, who are never permitted to leave, who are never aware that the choice to leave has been stripped from them.

The fun trick that American Arcadia manages to pull is in combining the side scrolling platform with secondary controls involving use of CCTV cameras in a way that feels seamless. I wasn't even aware of the idea that I was, on those occasions, utilizing two different types of controls at the same time. without even really having to think about it. The control scheme just felt natural.

No single element is especially new. Even the premise has been done before to some extent in various media. That said, what the game does with the presentation and story is done very well, so the fact that it's not a new idea as a story concept doesn't even matter in the slightest. Even the payoff of some of the
more predictable elements were fun to experience. The world is interesting, the characters are fun to follow, and the commentary that is injected along the way made me smile.

"Made me smile" is probably the best way to sum up my experience. I was happy. That happiness stayed with me after I turned the game off, and definitely after the ending. The last hour or so was a particular joy.

Oyunun hikayesi, sanat tasarım kısmı, esprileri ve iki farklı bakış açısından oynamamız çok güzel. Özellikle bu ikili bakış açısı sayesinde hem Arcadia'nın içinde hem dışında olan olayları görebiliyoruz ve hikayeyi daha iyi anlıyoruz. Şahsen iki karakteri de sevdim. Oyun başarımlarını tamamlamakta zor değil. Fakat bu güzel yanların yanında bazı olumsuzlukları da barındırıyor.

Bazı aksiyon kısımlarında bir yandan ana adamımızı hareket ettirirken bir yandan da CCTV'yi açıp yönlendirmeler yapmamız lazım fakat bu kısımlarda ne yapacağımızı çözüp uygulamak zaman alıyor ve başarısız sayılıp o sahneyi yeniden oynamamız gerekiyor. Aynı zamanda ara sahnelerin uzunluğu da herkese hitap etmeyebilir. Bazen 5 dakika ya da daha fazla ara sahne izleniliyor ve bu uzun ara sahnelerin sıklığı bir yerden sonra oyuncuyu sıkabiliyor. Son olarak ne yazık ki finali de beni pek tatmin etmedi. Hani oyun içinde saçma bulunan bazı yerler bu finalle anlam kazanıyor ama gene de bana yetersiz geldi.

Ben genel konsepti ve oyunun çıkış noktasını sevdim. İyi yanları benim için kötü yanlarına baskın geldi. Deneyecek kişiler oyunun biraz film vari olduğunu ve bolca ara sahne izleyeceklerini unutmasınlar. Eğer yok ben buna katlanamam diyorsanız şansınızı başka oyunlardan yana kullanın derim.

S'inspirant de l'idée fondatrice de [i]The Truman Show[/i], tout en s'en émancipant avec audace, [i]American Arcadia[/i] déploie une narration dynamique et débordante d'inventivité, pour porter une aventure dont la qualité de l'intrigue suffit déjà à happer le joueur.

Le jeu alterne avec brio et fluidité les phases de gameplay, via des transitions particulièrement judicieuses entre la 2.5D et la vue subjective. Dans les deux cas, les énigmes qui rythment la progression sont aussi accessibles que plaisantes ; seules certaines phases d'action vous demanderont probablement plusieurs tentatives pour comprendre ce que le jeu attend de vous.

L'ensemble bénéficie en outre de doubleurs talentueux, parfaits pour rendre nos protagonistes attachants. Si la bande sonore reste oubliable, la direction artistique est une véritable réussite. L'ambiance [i]seventies[/i] est ainsi absolument charmante, oscillant entre formes arrondies et couleurs vibrantes.

Certes, [i]American Arcadia[/i] n'est pas exempt de quelques pirouettes scénaristiques ou de limitations techniques (pas de support 21/9 ni d'affichage des boutons DualSense). Sa rejouabilité reste par ailleurs limitée, faute de fins alternatives. Mais [b]ce serait faire la fine bouche : jamais incarner un comptable insignifiant n'aura été aussi plaisant.[/b]

This game is one of the most pleasant gaming surprises I’ve had in months. The slightly simplified yet richly detailed graphics create a wonderful, immersive world. It has an engaging story with a cool retro-futuristic vibe, told with great humor throughout. And above all, the incredible, fully voiced narrative is absolutely outstanding.

Those looking for advanced puzzles may be disappointed, but that’s really not what this game is trying to be. Overall, after two evenings spent with it and its wonderful story, I can only say it’s a bit too short — once you immerse yourself in its world, you just want to soak it in a little longer.
Next to Inside, this is the best side scroller with a little twist that I’ve ever played. 9/10.

先说个人认为的缺点，不过基本上无伤大雅：
中间有些过场剧情有点无聊，看得想睡觉；
检查点要是能多些就好了，有的地方前面过了中间没反应过来死了又要重来；
女主视角要是能有个大概的任务指引就好了。
优点是剧情很喜欢，结局不是俗套的个人英雄主义情节，很符合现实，同时又以男女主拍摄纪录片给反派的结局留白，个人认为这样确实才是较为合理的结局；
美术风格很棒，尤其是最后一章男主重新洗脑的部分，各种隐喻和艺术表现都看爽了；
综上还是很推荐的。

OK this is a phenomenal game. Closer at times to a walking sim than an action platformer, so know what you're getting into, but the story is incredibly and beautifully done, with vibes and music and acting that are pitch perfect. Some genuinely clever puzzles, and a bunch of things I've not ever seen presented in this way before. Fresh, engaging, really loved this one.

Честно сказать, больше 6-ти глав не ожидал. Скучно стало уже ко 2 главе из-за большого количества кат-сцен и диалогов. Сюжет классный, но из-за малого количества экшена продолжать играть совсем не хочется. Загадки слишком заезжены и в моменте непонятно, куда что двигать. Спойлер: [spoiler] Я только за минут 20, обойдя весь главный офис, где есть шлем 3d visi-o-rama, понял, что от меня требуется сменить частоты волн у Тревора. [/spoiler]

Я бы рекомендовал эту игру для тех, кто любит поверхностно-глубокий сюжет и 2,5D игры. Мне не зашло.

Buena historia y ritmo perfecto. Podría ser una película y, de hecho, se basa en varias, tomando cada elemento con acierto.

A nivel jugable tiene destellos de genialidad, con algunas momentos donde tienes que controlar de forma simultánea a ambos personajes, centrándote en dos escenas a la vez. Pero en general es bastante repetitivo (sobre todo la parte que manejas a Trevor). De hecho, un defecto que le veo, es que hay momentos en que parece que estás jugando al Dragon's Lair, sacando los resultados por prueba y error. Me habría gustado algo más dependiente de la habilidad que de la repetición.

Los puzzles, cuando llevas a Solano, son más variados, pero en ocasiones algo confusos. Hay uno de drones que lo saqué sin saber realmente lo que estaba haciendo, por medio de prueba y error.

Pero, pese a todo, me parece un gran videojuego. Los personajes rebosan carisma, el ritmo es el adecuado, el guión está muy bien montado. Lo disfruté las 7 horas que duró. Duración, por cierto, que me parece perfecta: ni muy largo para hacerse aburrido, ni demasiado corto como para quedarte con ganas.

De los juegos de desplazamiento lateral de puzles estilo Limbo, Little Nightmares, etc que más me han gustado. Narrativamente es directo, nada críptico como los anteriores; y la historia está bien, los actores de voz son buenos, así como efectos de sonido. Visualmente tiene muchos detallitos... se le nota mucho más presupuesto que en los anteriores.

Jugablemente casi todo el rato será con esta fórmula, y un ¿20%? Será en primera persona con otro personaje realizando algunos puzles o investigando.

I thought this was a really fun little story rich game. Some platforming, some puzzles, all relatively easy but tricky enough that I'd need a few tries to find the right path/answers. Honestly, this game felt weirdly hand-tailored to someone like me - an embarrassing Disney adult that knows entirely too much about company history and absolutely abhors the current state of the corporation. I think that made it a bit more fun for me while exploring Arcadia - especially the chances we get to do a bit more exploring.

I'm going to rate this based on story as this is a story game. I would recommend playing it since it's fun.
STORY IS 2/10
SUCH a cool concept! Fantastically executed, perfect! Character dialogue was fun and unique, didn't really drag on. Kept me at the edge of my seat. All these great things, just to be ruined by a absolutely abysmal ending. Not going to spoil of course of course but the ending basically undermines your entire efforts throughout the game and makes the entire story retroactively awful. There is Some amount of foreshadowing to it, but it kinda feels glued onto the end to give it more meaning. In that process, it ruined the game. If you couldn't tell, I am VERY upset with the ending of this game. I have this squishy toy and it actually burst all over my desk because i was squeezing it too hard from raging at the ending.

首先吐槽一下全成就太坐牢了，重打的时候过场动画太多人走的还慢还不能快进跳过，不过可以分选场景重玩已经比某些游戏好太多了。本作过场动画挺多的像在看电影一样，叙事感很强，就是一部可交互的《楚门的世界》。美术风格很有质感，全程都在疯狂截图。男女主的人设也挺有趣的。男主的形象让我想起了《风骚律师》里的索尔。第六章的怪诞风格又很像《人生切割术》的片头。

这种较大的地图加上弱引导加上微微晕3D对我来说很不友好，一直在跑图探索找哪里有黄点，甚至2D视角的引导也非常弱，一般来说一直往前走就行但还是有几处会get不到路。3D视角没认真听旁白只要稍微走神一下就不知道要干什么了。

游戏里有许多在很多游戏都出现过的经典小谜题，例如在绣湖和机械迷城都有的跳棋解密。部分解密设计的还是有点小难度的，好多不看攻略我自己研究真过不了。[spoiler]例如汽车华容道那关不看攻略都不知道车还能先移到左边最高的平台上。[/spoiler]3D视角的玩法还是挺多的，印象最深的一段就是拿着手机的移动检测找路线那一关，很刺激，在管道里只能通过振动寻找方向，最后进门的一长段路还有时间限制需要先记下路线。手柄在进入危险区域会震动，这游戏更推荐手柄游玩，但用我用手柄玩依旧晕3D，用键鼠就好很多。追逐战和躲视角也很刺激因为容错率很低，基本一个失误就要重来了。

第六章是我最喜欢的一章，每一个片段和场景都很有创意，光怪陆离，充满迷离时空阴阳魔界的荒诞感。
最后一章我们在观众视角看弹幕，很奇妙的视角。如果Trevor停下了弹幕还会一直飘别停别停动起来，弹幕也很有节目效果。[spoiler]因为看过楚门的世界，在最后几章的对话中和穿插的采访中其实就能猜到真正的结局了，六先生的声音出来的时候还是让我小小的震惊了一下，其他的并没有惊天大反转，都在意料之中，铺垫了很久其实也就那样吧，重要的是享受逃亡的过程。[/spoiler]Finally, Trevor真是个传奇耐杀王。

Este juego es la P*lla.
La historia en general está guapísima, y las miles de referencia a pelis (la mitad seguro que ni las he pillado) hacen que tenga ese puntito de más.
Los personajes son bastante carismáticos, les acabas cogiendo bastante cariño, haciendo que me quedara con ganas de más. De hecho creo que justo ha sido lo único "malo" del juego, ya que al ser tan tan bueno durante todo el comienzo y la mitad del juego, el final se me quedó un poco corto.
Por poner algún apunte mas estaría bien un poco mas de jugabilidad, algún puzle mas quizás..

En cuanto a rendimiento he de decir que en ciertos momentos he tenido algún tirón sobre todo al inicio.

En resumen un juegazo que es obligatorio jugar y encima hecho por un estudio ESPAÑOL.

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a beautiful game with an overall really interesting story and well fleshed-out characters. However the game was plagued by crashes basically every chapter on my Steam Deck (in between chapters, all of a sudden the screen would go black and the message 'fatal error' would appear). I also found some of the puzzles quite annoying to work out: in earlier puzzles, sometimes a character would step in to make some comments in the form of a hint that would help figure out some non-obvious quandaries in the world. However this hint system was missing in later areas which resulted in a quite a bit of repetitive trial and error.

All in all, the concept of the game is super unique and I would still advise anyone who likes story-based games to give this a try. Just prepare to be somewhat bothered by the implementation of the ideas....

Muito bom o jogo, historia legal, a única critica que tenho é que em alguns momentos a historia fica muito "modernizada" com aqueles clichês de narrativa, mas de resto recomendo muito.

Just started playing, good game but the voice tracks are just bad. "Kovács" WITH AN "Á" and a "CS" pronounced in the game as just kova-c-s. It is a hungarian name for the hungarian scientist in the game. At least research how to say a name before putting it into the game!!!

American Arcadia feels more like an interactive story than a traditional game. While there are a few puzzles to solve and some light action-platforming sections, they’re generally very easy and seem designed more to keep your hands on the controller :)

Where the game truly shines is in its storytelling and visuals. It’s simply beautiful. The environments are packed with detail, and more than once I felt like it was a shame to “run through” certain scenes. I could easily have spent five to ten times longer just appreciating the artistry and atmosphere. There’s so much care put into the world that rushing past it almost feels like missing the point.

In a way, that contrast feels intentional. The game amazes you visually while pushing you forward at a steady pace... almost like life itself! We move quickly toward goals, rarely stopping to absorb the details around us. American Arcadia captures that feeling perfectly.

Buen juego, buen twist del [spoiler]show de Truman[/spoiler] , sin el final (hasta cierto punto obvio) pierde mucho la verdad, los graficos de personajes dejan muchisimo que desear aunque el arte y la atmosfera sean muy buenos, siempre esta bien jugar juegos hechos en España. Rejugarlo (aunque solo sea para los logros) te hace ver ciertas escenas de otra forma (estaria bien poder skipear cinematicas), sinceramente ojala el diseño de los personajes no hubiese sido flow low poly/muñecos de plastilina, por lo demas corto y sin dejar nada fuera del tintero

This is by far and without a doubt one of the best indie adventure puzzle platformer games I have ever played. Great premise and story, lovely artstyle, good humour and some nice lightweight gameplay elements.

I bought this game without knowing anything about it. Then I started playing it, and it was so addictive that I finished it without even noticing. Everything about this game is just awesome, one of my favorite experiences ever.

A fantastically well realised puzzle/chase platformer with a very likeable protagonist in Trevor, mixed in with a fair share of clunky and frankly sometimes frustrating 3rd person sequences with "Angela" (some will like her, some won't, I chose to stay in the middle) makes American Arcadia a good, albeit flawed, game with some truly brilliant moments, not perfect by any means, but 100% worth playing.

Jeu assez agréable, qui vaut surtout pour son histoire plus que pour son gameplay.
Du côté des +: l'ambiance est réussie, la mise en scène également, le jeu a de l'humour est la durée de vie est juste ce qu'il faut.
Du côté des -: quelques soucis techniques (un crash, quelques ralentissements), peu de diversité dans le gameplay, peut-être un peu trop simple.
Recommandé!

Pretty basic gameplay with dual-protagonist split gameplay styles: arcadey platforming vs first-person puzzles. Lots of holding ➜, or simple first-person navigation/interaction...

...but, it's got a cool story and a wraps itself up in short order! It's a bit like an interactive movie. And it has an absolutely banging headline track.

Why does Angela hate Kendra so much? Kendra was always nice to her ingame.
And even though Angela herself took the Job way before she was contacted by Number 6 (which means she must have been ok with what was going on in Arcadia)
she acts all "holier-than-thou" againts the whole system.

Also how do you convince more than 20.000 inhabitants that it is the seventies for more than five decades?
And how is it possible that no one in Arcadia knows that is a TV show if its inhabitants voluntarily moved to American Arcadia after the success of the TV show about "old" Arcadia.

This just does not make sense.

Really gotta recommend this one. It's mainly a narrative focused game with a mix of platforming, puzzle and stealth elements. Pretty damn fun for the few sittings it might take to beat. As many point out the premise shares certain details with The Truman Show, so if you're down for something like that, it's worth checking out.

Mi calificación: 9.5/10

Lo bueno:

La historia: es extremadamente interesante, divertida, emocionante y única. Podría decir que es como El Show de Truman en videojuego, pero esta historia es mil veces mejor. No encontré nada malo en la historia, me gustó muchísimo, de las mejores que he visto en un videojuego.

Arte: el arte del juego es simplemente impresionante. Todo está bien hecho y a conciencia, de verdad se nota que le pusieron mucho empeño en hacerlo bien.

Gameplay: el gameplay es muy ingenioso e innovador, es algo que nunca había visto. Es muy divertido y entretenido.

Humor: el humor que se maneja dentro del juego también es bastante divertido. Le queda muy bien al tipo de narración que tiene la historia.

Personajes: son muy buenos e inolvidables. Todos los personajes me gustaron mucho. Son de esos personajes que se me quedan en la memoria para siempre.

Lo malo:

Apartado técnico: es lo peor del juego. Se cierra de manera inesperada constantemente, los frames tienen caídas horribles y a veces el juego simplemente no responde. La unica razón por la que no le pongo 10/10.

Este es el último juego que me quedaba del paquete de Raw Fuiry y sin querer dejé el mejor para el final. Se nota que está hecho por los mismos que hicieron Call of the Sea, se nota su toque personal pero mejorado 100 veces. Es un juego innovador, entretenido y muy divertido. Me pasé el juego casi todo en una sola run y ni lo noté. Hasta ahora mi juego favorito de Out of the Blue Games. Por favor sigan haciendo más juegos, hasta ahora los dos que he jugado me gustaron mucho. Y este se convirtió en uno de mis juegos favoritos en general.

this game is paced, shot, and written like a movie. all the way up to the final act. you can tell they really committed to the story throughout the game. it makes for a gripping tale.

it had better be, because some of the puzzles are tedious at best and teeth-gnashing at worst. it's not always like that. but the story makes its worst parts worth it, and the payoff at the end absolutely does.

Out of the Blue has officially been cemented as my favorite present-day game company. Love the humor, wit, the detail, and the research they do into all of the games they've put out so far. Call of the Sea is still my favorite from them, but I loved American Arcadia for its wacky world and satire on reality TV and Hollywood entertainment. Don't be a Fool, check out this game if you like puzzles, mystery, a well-written story, and satisfying end. One warning is that some puzzles are on a STRONG time crunch. The nature of the game is high-stakes and constantly on-the-run, so it makes sense in-game, but I'm already anxious irl I was NOT ready for some of those lol. Would be cool if there was a difficulty setting for that in their future games (if there isn't already - I wouldn't be surprised if I goofed and there was something like that already built in).

so much pointless talking, waiting, running... it's lacking in so many ways.the devs should have watched a youtube video of how other games look and maybe played some of them because everything feels clunky, climbing a ladder in a sidecsroller requires the press of another button which means when running away from some one your chrtcter stands still for a sec lol. just avoid it and watch some one play it on yt
