Gemini - A Journey of Two Stars 4+

The game is undeniably beautiful, but way too short (maybe 2 hours of playtime, if not less). The lack of any tutorial is frustrating at first, it once you understand the control scheme and the overall philosophy of the game, it’s a joy to play.

This game brought me to literal tears... The true meaning of this passionate journey is far beyond that of a mere "game". this work of art is one of very few epitomes of the sanctity of loves sacrifice, wether it be for mother, father, brother, sister, companion, friend, or even stranger. Though sacrifice contains a deep air of sadness "Gemini" still maintains a bright beam of happiness, while at the same time representing a symbolic meaning that is unique to each individual who takes the journey. To me, it symbolizes us... The everyday workers, the parents who give up they're lives to provide for they're families, the victims of depression and sickness who have to wage a war daily just to keep they're heads above the waters, the children who were robbed of parental love. To me, we are the stars, we're the glints of light that sink into the voids of darkness without the love and understanding of a fellow “star”... But with the love and understanding from another we so desperately need, we can rise... We can spread our wings and fight through the shadows. All we need is love. And though death comes for us all, it seems to me that to die in the place of Someone you love, or anyone really, is the best way to out-shine the shadows, and in the process have the comfort of knowing that the one/ones your gave yourself up for —>Will<— go on.

I really wanted to like this, but after fooling with it for the most part of a half hour, I didn’t see the point of it at all! First, there’s no tutorial at all, so you don’t know what to do! Tried this, tried that, and all I could deduce from it is that the music is relaxing and nice, but as far as game play is concerned, it seems you dance/merge with the other star, rising up, up, but then what?? What’s the reward for that? Pop some bubbles, wow... Nothing happens, and it just becomes boring. What’s there to do? Is that it? That’s not fun! It IS relaxing, but when nothing happens, it becomes frustrating! I’m done with it and am deleting it. There’s nothing to keep my interest here! 👎🏻
