Mini Review: 1000xRESIST (PS5) – Story-First Experience Is a Marvel

1000xRESIST isn’t just a game for the PS5—it’s a truly captivating experience with a uniquely compelling story.

This game offers more than just a story-driven experience; you can explore environments and do some simple platforming between scenes and dialogue. Ultimately, though, everything in the game is designed to move the story forward.

This story follows a society of clones rebuilding after a devastating pandemic wipes out humanity, and it’s a truly captivating and immersive experience.

1000xResist heavily features the past, letting you explore flashbacks and memories of the sole survivor of an epidemic, known as the ALLMOTHER. She hasn’t been truthful to her robot children, and you’ll uncover the truth by delving into her past – a section of the game called Communion.

This game features a lot of conversation with remarkably well-written and unique dialogue. It starts challenging right away and can feel overwhelming at first. However, 1000xRESIST is worth persevering with, as the story gradually unfolds and becomes captivating. Once you understand the mechanics, it maintains a consistently engaging pace.

The game’s strong writing and acting make even optional conversations feel worthwhile. Visually, it’s stunning, with a distinctive art style and dramatic camera work that perfectly enhance the story.

The game is intentionally light and simple, but this can occasionally become a hindrance. Your clone base acts as a central hub, and finding important ‘Communion’ points is linked to the characters you meet there. Even using a map, it’s easy to get lost and unsure where to go next, as the game offers only subtle guidance.

Communion sequences offer a simpler experience, letting you explore areas from both first- and third-person views, and even fly through short platforming challenges. They primarily serve as transitions between story moments, but they do add a small amount of interactivity.

1000xRESIST prioritizes storytelling above all else, which makes for a truly captivating and fascinating video game experience.
