Description: A first-person interactive story for mature audiences, The Assembly is a long-form game designed and tailored for PlayStation VR. Play as two individuals and discover a morally challenging organisation from contrasting perspectives. Face trials, investigate the Assembly’s secret bunker and make tough decisions. Will your actions and their repercussions save lives or lead to catastrophe?
This deep story-driven, first-person adventure game places you in the role of two different scientists. One called Madeleine and the other Caleb. When they do meet, these two scientists both have their own sperate story. These two people are in fact two sides of the same story as you start to learn what The Assembly is all about and what it stands for.
Review: You learn by completing various tasks. Some are puzzles and some are murder mysteries, they will help you grow the storyline and learn what is going on. With some good voice acting and lots of really believable characters, it does feel like you are playing a cheap sci-fi movie.
While an interesting idea The Assembly is not exactly groundbreaking. Sure, it has some moments of genius thrown in there, but nothing that would make you rush out and buy a PSVR. There is just something so ‘mediocre’ about The Assembly. But having said that it is worth playing if you can grab it in a sale for half price, but only then would you feel you get value for money.
