Expelled! Reviews
Expelled is a wicked good time, with each playthrough of the game building on the one before it.
Playing inkle's games for the past 10 years makes me realize that I am a fan not just of their games, but of them as creators. When you engage with new content from a familiar artist, you start to sense their fingerprints. Knowing inkle’s style made me all the more delighted by change-ups and familiar methods. While Expelled! is slower and clunkier than Overboard!, it’s also richer and deeper. Now, I have to stop writing this review, because I'd really like to get back to playing it.
Like Overboard! before it, Expelled! is incredibly novel and satisfying that’s high school drama at its finest. Just getting the right ending doesn’t mean you’re done. It’s rare, but this game’s achievements will drive you towards its completion. Expelled! is anything but academic, there’s payoffs aplenty for this incredibly cunning mystery follow-up.
