Samuel Isaacson - The Altimer: An interactive story

The Altimer: An interactive story by Samuel Isaacson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one was a blast. What an incredible story this was. And it was an actually good gamebook, too. It gave you choices that weren’t just random goings somewhere as many other gamebooks are. You have to not only get every piece of important gear, but also act right, because if you do not, death is waiting for you.
And the story aspect of this gamebook was awesome too, with lots of smaller and bigger twists that I didn’t see coming.

Still I gave it 4 stars. Why? Because I think sometimes the story is way too harsh and that the writer thinks that we have infinite time. There are pages where there is only one way to do things and all others lead to death and starting over.
Other than that there was one other problem and that was a missing keyword. Because at one point I was stuck in an infinite loop looking for the right keyword, and I’ve checked all possible pages, but still didn’t manage to find it. Could be a translation error on my end, but I really don’t know what did I do wrong.
