Adios is a narrative achievement. It uses the medium of video games to tell a deeply human story that will stick with you long after you put the game down. With some of the best voice acting in the business Adios is a must play and one of my favorite games this year.

It takes just a couple of hours to play through Adios, but it’s an experience that’ll sit with you for far longer. It’s a haunting story about redemption and finding meaning in life, but one that eschews the bombast with which videogames typically approach such themes in favour of something far more grounded—and far more impactful, as a result. Going through your daily routine one last time, when you know you’re not going to see the sun rise the next morning, can be a powerful source of reflection, and Adios does an impressive job of capturing that. Adios is developed and published by Mischief.

Adios is the kind of contemplative experience that will stick with me for a long time. While I think Adios is a much better story than it is a game, I’m fully convinced this is a great proof of concept for bigger stories in the interactive theater genre. Adios could have been a one-dimensional story about a man who has nothing left to live for, but through a series of short, concise conversations, the game does an exceptional job of fleshing out this character, humanizing him, and giving meaning to his death. That’s a lot to do in just an hour, but Adios handles it beautifully. A PC code was provided to TheGamer for this review.

Adios feels personal and honest. It's a story that has seeds of remorse and capitalizes on a lot of the worst fears that some have for when they get older. The way those fears emerge bubbling on the surface of Adios's admittedly thin gameplay mechanics makes for compelling story-telling. Even in a short title bereft of many of the bells and whistles that characterize some of the best visual novel or VN-adjacent experiences, that masterful balance makes for something well worth a look for those who can look past its obvious flaws.
