Yes, the plot follows closely with the TV Series but it didn’t give justice to how exciting the actual storytelling is. I played this game without watching the series and it wasn’t the experience I was looking for. But, I honestly will not recommend this game if you haven’t seen any episode yet and especially if you haven’t watched Season 3. To be inside The Stranger Things universe looks and feels surreal with careful details is really a delight. Traveling from major location to the next might bump you into a loading screen but it really doesn’t take much time. It’s actually mind-blowing that the game does well in incorporating these monumental locations in the game and did a good job at it. You cannot sell these items to Ivan nor to any stores on the map! This would’ve been a better source for credits. Mission completion sometimes rewards you with trinkets or you may find one in concealed boxes. Unfortunately, this cannot be done in crafted trinkets. Your inventory can only take up so many materials, luckily enough you can sell them to Ivan after completing his mission. In-game equipment is called Trinkets that can enhance either the party’s overall attributes such as attack, block duration, and speed or you can choose to enhance a certain character’s ability increase Dustin’s chem attacks or improving Mikes’ taunt making enemies deal more damage.Ĭrafting these trinkets requires materials that you may be able to collect upon exploration or you can purchase them at vendo machines, at Melvalds General Store or at Starcourt. I prefer long-distance attacks and damage over time so I primarily see myself using Dustin and Eleven more often. You can be really creative in creating your party, you can experiment on pairings with their abilities and decide which of them works best on your preferred gameplay. Each character is amazing on its own, but definitely greater together. Other characters also help on your survival Max can drop hearts that help heal your party when HP is low or Jonathan can use her camera to stun enemies that can surround your party. True to their series characters Dustin is the only one that can open hack-able locked doors, Joyce with her signature bolt cutters can open chained doors and Lucas who can bomb away boulders blocking your path. Some characters have unique abilities that will let you go through specific challenges. Just like the TV Series, this game features teamwork where you get to start off with only a few characters and collecting characters as you progress the game. Fans are expected to see a different kind of experience in their favorite TV show through a mix of puzzles, exploration, and combat. Developed and published by BonusXP in collaboration with Netflix brings about an adventure game that features an 80s vibe, a retro 16-bit art style that supposedly should give us a nostalgic fun. The game follows the plot of the newly released Netflix Original The Stranger Things Season 3. But this time, it’s the opposite! So nothing should go wrong, right? Riiiiiiggggght! (Facepalm) You see, when a game turns into a film adaptation – it usually sucks big time. Now to see this amazing series in a game is surreal and I was really ecstatic when I found out. I remembered viewing season 1 like it was just yesterday and I honestly couldn’t stop watching it. Ever since Netflix Original Stranger Things came out – I have been a fan ever since.
