![]() ![]() You do have the ability to block attacks though and that’ll take some good timing to pull off, but overall most enemies don’t put up too much of a fight. Everyone plays in their own way and mixes up ranged and up-close attacks so there’s something different to see with each one, though I will admit that a lot of the times it’ll just take some button-bashing to beat most foes so you don’t need to worry too much. ![]() Most character’s abilities are tied to combat – Mike has a bat to dish out some up close damage, Dustin has his long-distance spray (though I don’t think it is of the Farah Fawcett variety), whilst Nancy can use scissors to dish out some hurt. There’ll also be times when both characters need to work together to get through a puzzle (hello, random pressure pads on the ground) whilst the additional character can work as a good distraction when taking down enemies too, so having two characters together never feels like an unnecessary tacked on feature but an important part of gameplay. Everyone you’d expect from the TV show is playable, but the way that their abilities work means some will be more useful in different situations than others. You’ll have two party members on screen at a time that can be switched between freely (the AI or a local co-op player can use the other), with every character in the game having their own different abilities. Gameplay-wise, Stranger Things 3: The Game plays like an old-school brawler with a few top-down RPG-like mechanics thrown in for good measure. To get the most out of the game though, I’d probably recommend watching the TV show first. Obviously, it isn’t as in depth a narrative as you’d see in the TV show, but the game does flesh things out in its own way with a few different scenarios to be found that you wouldn’t have seen on the show. Just know that Stranger Things 3: The Game follows the full story arc of the season, with each episode represented with new quests to head on. So I don’t want to go into detail with the narrative too much – I don’t want to spoil anything about the new TV season for anyone, especially since it’s SO damn good. You know what? It’s a pretty fun game too and one that fans of the series are going to enjoy, though it lacks the depth to really stand out as a ‘must play’ experience. Based upon the third season on the show, Stranger Things 3: The Game sends players on an old-school adventure with the gang as they look to bring an end to the latest threat to hit their home of Hawkins. That’s why I was excited to see a video game tie in for Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things. Still, it’s a bit of a shame that we don’t get to see different interactive takes on the latest blockbusters and TV hits, especially when you consider the quality of the content that has been hitting the big (and little) screen. Perhaps it’s not necessarily a bad thing I remember the old days when every movie that came out would be guaranteed to have a video game to go with it, but said video game would be a bit crap. We don’t really see movie and TV show video game tie-ins so much anymore. ![]()
