4.5/5 ★ – Daninrl's review of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.

The Stanley Parable rightly owns its place amid indie gaming royalty. Its deconstruction of player agency, narrative and game design is effortlessly brilliant and expertly avoids the trap of self indulgence. Any worries about it maybe having lost itself with its Ultra Deluxe subtitle are thankfully unfounded. Ultra Deluxe preserves and updates the brilliance of the original whilst adding substantial content that satirises re releases, content creators, clueless executives, poorly thought out sequels and The Stanley Parable with just as much success as it did in 2013. I laughed more than I have at any game for quite some time and feel like I'll be back, trying to find every possible ending with my emotional support bucket until I've found everything and played for the entirety of a Tuesday.
