Lifeline: Beside You In Time Mobile Game Review
The newest game in the Lifeline series is already here, and it’s incredible. Here’s my review!
The first time I played a Lifeline game was in 2015. I had just started working as a QA Engineer in a small startup company that built video games for clients. The funny thing was that everybody loved it. This little game was on every one of my friends’ lips. It was like playing an RPG but on a smaller scale — and I LOVE RPGs.
And last weekend, seven years after the first Lifeline game, Lifeline: Beside You In Time, was released. This game is the fourth sequel to the original Lifeline game. It is preceded by ‘Halfway to Infinity’ and ‘Silent Night’. If it’s your first time playing a text adventure, then some explaining is required: There is an astronaut stranded in space who needs your help to survive. This time there are two of them — you help them by making choices. Sometimes you’ll fail, and they die, but if not, you advance the story.
If you want a spoiler-free review, here’s mine. In the next section, I’ll dive deeper to talk about the game with spoilers. You’ll have a callout before we dive into that section.
