I first performed Daniel Benmergui’s Storyteller (Free) by way of its Nintendo Swap and Steam releases. Learn my unique assessment of it right here. Since then, a whole lot of buddies who performed the sport loved it, however thought it was overpriced given the brief runtime. On Netflix, you don’t want to fret about that, however does Storyteller warrant a replay or is it price revisiting with its first main replace since launch? I feel it’s, and I’ve had a whole lot of enjoyable revisiting it on iPhone and iPad over the previous few days. Should you’ve by no means performed Storyteller, I’ll additionally evaluate the totally different variations that will help you discover which one you must get.
Within the case of a whole lot of cellular ports, I’m curious to see how console and PC video games transition over with their controls, however Storyteller is a puzzle sport about placing collectively tales with already superb contact controls on Swap.that already had nice contact controls in its unique Swap model. I knew it might really feel good to play on cellular, however the Netflix launch on iOS and Android arrives with the most important first content material replace included from the get go, making it a extra attention-grabbing launch. The Swap and Steam variations have been up to date alongside the Netflix launch so should you already personal Storyteller, you may simply replace your sport and play the brand new content material there. In case you are within the Netflix model and whether it is price your time, that is the proper place.
In a whole lot of methods, Storyteller jogs my memory of Scribblenauts with its mechanics. Your intention is to place collectively tales on this puzzle sport by finishing panels in a e book with objects, scenes, and folks obtainable for a particular answer. Some puzzles included have alternate paths or challenges, however there isn’t a lot replay worth past that. That is the place Storyteller would possibly let some individuals down. The brand new replace, which is what the iOS model ships with, has seen additions to prior chapters, new content material, an attention-grabbing new character added, and extra. I didn’t suppose Storyteller was too brief or incomplete, so this new model looks like an enhanced model. The narrator is a beautiful addition (you could flip off) that elevates the expertise, and the modifications to some ranges are superb. A variety of care has gone into this replace, and I’m glad to see the sport lastly go above its potential because of this new model.
Storyteller’s precise narrative and writing are each superb. There’s humor, sorrow, and simply a whole lot of enjoyable as you fiddle with potential outcomes right here. I spent a whole lot of time attempting to play it unsuitable or do the alternative simply to see how issues performed out. In my unique assessment, I discussed how an growth or replace down the highway would assist Storyteller’s so much. That’s precisely what occurred right here. Not solely is it simpler to advocate to these shopping for it on Steam or Swap, the sport itself on cellular in its debut is admittedly nice now.
On cellular, Storyteller has no controller assist that I may see, however you don’t want it. Whether it is included, I’ll replace this, however I couldn’t get my DualSense detected on iPad, and the Kishi V2 didn’t work in-game on my iPhone 11. Visually, it appears to make use of the low high quality preset on my iPhone 11 and is crisper on iPad Professional. The Steam model runs with out points on the top quality preset on Steam Deck. The Swap model handheld is much like iPad, however not as crisp. None of those variations look unhealthy as a result of the aesthetic scales properly, however it’s price mentioning for comparability. Load instances are advantageous, and the sport is responsive all through. If I needed to choose, I’d go along with Netflix adopted by Swap in handheld for the very best expertise. The PC model on Steam Deck doesn’t have contact assist and this sport very a lot is finest with contact controls.

That isn’t a difficulty for most individuals with a subscription, however it’s price retaining in thoughts. Should you do wish to personal it, it’s discounted proper now on Steam for a couple of days extra. As somebody with Xbox Recreation Go, Apple Arcade, Netflix, and PlayStation Plus, I do know a whole lot of video games launch on subscription providers with time being the limiter nowadays, however should you do have a Netflix subscription, that is price downloading to strive.
Storyteller stays a brief (properly not as brief as earlier than this replace), however nice expertise that I like to recommend to anybody seeking to expertise one thing solely potential by way of the medium of video games. The puzzles or trial and error in some conditions might not be for everybody, however this can be a welcome addition to Netflix’s rising video games catalog on cellular. Should you do personal Storyteller on Swap or Steam, this replace elevates it fairly a bit, and you want to revisit it.
