Tyler: Model 005 / JTGA – Review

JTGA: Tyler: Model 005 leans more toward the puzzle and exploration end of the spectrum, with an endearing central character and intriguing premise. The tutorial is presented as a dream sequence, introducing you to basic traversal and combat mechanics. Once the game begins anew, your mission is to scour your surroundings, and search for your creator.

Unfortunately, this is where things start to fall apart. There’s an unshakeable sense that this feels like an experimental tech demo; a proof of concept pitch and not quite a full game. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the character or world design, but the experience falls short in a number of areas.
