Instead, Genesis Noir is a long, drawn-out experience that I suffered through just to see if it has a satisfying payoff at the end. Genesis Noir is certainly “one trick” but it doesn’t have a fun one, nor is it short. They don’t have much substance because they’re just a “one trick” sort of experience. Games like Genesis Noir tend to be short. I would have appreciated Genesis Noir more as a short film than in its current form.

I didn’t know what it was about then, but I knew I wanted to play it. My first impression of this game was its visual style-those gorgeous blacks, shades of gray, and whites over impossible, mostly space-like visuals.
