Tin Star

Tin Star was the first choicescript game to cross one million words, and was the only member of the million plus club for quite some time. That said, quantity isn't the only thing the game has going for it. With solid writing which conveys the western setting and a wide range of encounters from the massive wordcount, you'll find yourself immersed in the game for quite a while.

There is an extensive stat system, with plenty of opportunities to raise and test those stats. The game's structure is broken up into a set of stat-changing activities you can perform, before a chapter mission picks up. The missions are interesting and really provide a sense of adventure, as you work to discover the enemy and uncover their plot. Furthermore, there is also a good bit of branching here, with hidden content and branches for players willing to try something different.

Still, the prose tends to be heavy and ramble at times. There is no doubt plenty of content here, but sometimes, it's hard not to feel that the wordcount was partially the result of over-long prose. Nevertheless, I'm not taking off a star for this, as there is certainly still an extra large dose of quality content here.

There is also an interesting cast of characters, along with romances. There is quite a bit of variety in the characters you can romance. Won't spoil anything, but there are also two other unexpected characters you can marry as well.

When it comes to the ending, the game also leaves on a strong note, with plenty of detail of what happened to different folks and places, as well as a recounting of your own achievements. This is another part that allows the end to feel satisfying.

Overall, this is a solid game which provides as much in quality as it does in quantity. It's a solid recommendation if you want a long adventure in the choicescript world.
