Thomas Was Alone - PS4

Now, Thomas Was Alone, was a phenomenal title that I stumbled upon back in 2013 when it was released as a PS Plus title. I have to say I didn't expect much to begin with for a game just about shapes, but let me tell you I was surely not disappointed. Thomas Was Alone, makes great use of story telling and fun platforming that will continuously keep you going back. Thomas, is a represented by a red rectangle, and during his story he meets many others,Chris, James, Laura, and Claire. It is deep, rich and full of emotions. The narrator is at times comical but others very sincere.

Thomas Was Alone, its a simple puzzle-platformer, you go through the different levels using each character you meet along the way to help you solve each puzzle as you will see they all have their own purpose and abilities that help get through the task at hand. This was something I never found truly difficult, but I did find myself dying a couple of times due to unexpected traps. The controls work really great and are even better introducing the dualshock 4.

I have to say if you have yet played this game, buy it, it is visually stunning on the PS4 and the story will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. If you have already played the game, it is free as a cross buy title and you can even import your old saves if you never completed it.

Let me know what you guys think of the game, and how the story made you feel in the comments below.
