You'll find it pretty difficult to close the book on this fast-paced RPG adventure. Its story after multiple playthroughs may feel a little tedious and encounters may lack challenge, but its charmingly addictive gameplay will see you returning again and again to the gorgeous world of Boreas in an effort to unlock all of the available endings.

Stories: The Path of Destinies Review

Upon hearing the title: Story: The Path of Destinies, many gamers alike may roll their eyes and tut at the unartistic name. However, I implore you not to judge a book by its cover – or rather in this case, a game by its title. Beneath its cliché exterior is something that brings a new light to that age-old classic: choice-oriented storytelling, and jeez does it come in with bells on.

Originally named Stories: The Hidden Path, Stories: The Path of Destinies is an action/adventure RPG built in the Unreal engine by Montreal-based indie developer, Spearhead Games. We follow the story of Reynardo, a clever, anthropomorphic fox with a bit of a hero complex and a touch of bad luck as he gets sucked into a rebellion against the emperor. His major problem is that, not only is he torn by different decisions to defeat the mad monarch that risks his friends and loved ones, but he also has a ton of terrible ways to mess things up and fewer to be successful.

The concept is not original, nor is Stories: The Path of Destinies‘ mechanics but there’s just something so endearing about it that makes me love the game that much more. I needn’t insult anyone by commenting on its replayability. Safe to say you’ll get about 24 games out of it depending on whether you see it through or give up, and for the current price it’s not a bad deal. For a game that’s well-structured, well-planned and well-designed I could hardly be more thankful that I was fortunate enough to cover it. In such a short space of time Stories has rocketed onto my list of favourite indie games and if that’s not compliment enough then I don’t know how else to phrase it. It’s not perfect, but it is perfectly charming.
