Paws and Soul
Looking back at past misunderstanding can help meliorate decisions made in the future , and tools such as books or on-line programs can help further the physical process of self - betterment . WhatPaws and Souloffers is a restful journey through dreamy atmospheres while it advance role player to self - reflect while show how certain choices can affect one ’s living . Among the beautiful landscape and gift soundtrack , however , lies a boring and unrealistic storyline filled with clichés and bad advice .
On the open , Paws and Soulis a pretty unequalled idea . The player takescontrol of a dogwho explores dissimilar mystic sphere to gather up energy and is frequently visited by apparitions of his own past tense . The opening episode is among the swell moments of the game as plaers awake in a new wolf body and croak a cave to the pearl - rattling strums of an acoustic guitar and are foregather with an open stretch of land to explore . The only trouble is that there is no incentive to explore any orbit off the beaten track provided to players .

Over the course of the game , the player visits a number of beautiful landscape painting from impenetrable woods to aseries of floating islands , but there is no intellect to venture from the game ’s fit path . There are very few secret item inPaws and Soul , and they do not net the player anything more than extra lines of dialogue if find . There are some out of sight shrines that are few and far between among the big open landscapes , but even these can only be activated if the player has roll up enough energy orb - while still only give the player a secondary storyline of picayune impact .
While locomote along the dirt road , histrion will be come across with phantasmal figures every so often . These figures discourse with one another and secernate the story of the player ’s preceding life from birth until death . This idea is very unique , but it is squander by terrible vox acting , unrealistic dialog , and a serial of sorry decisions that are made to search like the right decision . fortunately these present moment of dialogueare not cutscenesso the player is not forced to stay in an area to listen to them , but the duologue can not be skip which is the worst part of every brush . No matter how far the masher runs aside , the voices can still be listen .
While the medicine is another firm part ofPaws and Soul , the three - song soundtrack vex old speedy . The songs meet on a loop , so in a span of 20 minute , the player will have already mind to the soundtrack a few times . Of the three songs , one is vivid , one is peaceable , and one is jubilant . These are all well - composed pieces , but they make for at random times which can ruin the humour of a scene . A joyful birdcall can be play while a character lapse away , and an intense song can be take on during a marriage proposal . This can happen a handful of times in a single run of the secret plan , and it can make for a humourous yet uneasy experience .
The storyline and gameplay ofPaws and Soulare standardised toThat Dragon , Cancer , which is an emotional story base on real events . But thePaws and Soulsstoryline plays out like a badly write Hallmark film . The main character pass dupe to every cheerless movie trope leading up to a very anti - climactic death . There are also several bit throughout the story that leave the player wonder who wrote them . The robotic dialog and horrible voice acting makes the news report feel chintzy and pull the role player out of any likeness of submergence they may have had .
Paws and Soulis a very pretty game to look at , and if it were just a Hugo Wolf - sim collect - a - thon it could be a moderately fun game . Unfortunately , the unappealing story mixed with misfortunate voice roleplay and unfitting background music are enough to stamp out what small the plot has going for it . Paws and Soulmay appeal to those who want to play as a Friedrich August Wolf roaming empty yet beautiful landscapes , but it ’s not for those who are depend to ego - reflect or who want to enjoy a deep and thought - evoke story .
