About Barry’s Prison Run:
I’ve been playing rpgs since the original Zelda came out in the summer of 1987 —- and there are a huge number of them that have been available through the years, and now the popularity of the “old school” rpgs has grown enormously over the past few years and there are a great many to choose from here at Steam. So when a game, or, in this case, a group of games rises above all the rest and becomes among the best of the best, it should be written about and it should certainly be played. So here is this small review for this outstanding and hugely entertaining game. This developer has created 6 games, including this most recent one, and they are all excellent. And the games seem to take a step up in quality with each release. This latest game once again shows what CAN be done with the RPGMaker as the attention to detail is apparent in every scene. Characters are fleshed out in a way that captures and keeps your attention from each one’s first appearance to the end. The scenery is fantastic and rendered in great detail which yields a ton of things to look for, an abundance of secrets, and a fresh look throughout the game. The challenge is at just the right level so you never get bored leveling your party, and the emphasis is kept on the story and moving it forward. And I have always thought that the backbone of any rpg is the story — and this one is original, interesting, and full of humor that all combine to keep the pace right on track.
