The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe Free Download Unfitgirl Plenty has already been said about why 2013’s The Stanley Parable is so phenomenal – so much, in fact, that one section of 2022’s The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a literal shrine to all of the praise and accolades that have been deservedly heaped upon it. To prattle on further about how it cleverly messes with your own video game expectations or how it dissects the choices games often give us would only belabor long-since made points (not to mention risk my own words showing up in the inevitable 2031 re-rerelease). But then again, there I go doing exactly that, because despite those points having already been well made both about and by The Stanley Parable, they still ring as true as ever – and Ultra Deluxe’s new content proves it has plenty more worth saying, at a scale that goes far beyond a simple remaster. Before we get too deep, a quick spoiler warning: The Stanley Parable is a hard game to talk about because so much of its charm and delight comes from discovering its surprises for yourself. I am going to do my best not to ruin that experience while I tell you why it’s one worth having, but I will be talking about some of what already made the base game stand out, as well as the general scope and structure of how Ultra Deluxe builds upon it. So while I’ll avoid ruining the specifics of any jokes or endings, my real recommendation is that you should stop reading here Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

play it totally fresh, and then come back and see how your own thoughts compare to mine. But if you need a little more to go on before making that leap, read on. The Stanley Parable is a surreal adventure game at its heart. You play Stanley, wandering the halls of his office as a narrator (brilliantly voiced by Kevan Brighting) instructs you on where to go. Of course, the now thoroughly interrogated gag here is that you don’t have to listen to him at all. The office is a labyrinth of paths to choose from or stumble upon, each choice sending you further down its branching tree of hilarious stories and toward one of its countless endings. Every journey is full of jokes that had me genuinely laughing out loud (even years after the first time I saw them) framed within a constantly winking satire of the way games are traditionally supposed to behave – be that mundane things like getting to ignore the “correct” path, or more elaborate examples like a reset not always setting the metaphorical sliders back to zero. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe may bill itself as a long-awaited console port with some nicely improved lighting and a bit of new content, but that last part is, shall we say, severely understated. When you first start it up, Ultra Deluxe asks if you’ve played the original before, and developer Crows Crows Crows stressed to me that it’s important to answer this question honestly.

The labyrinth has just gotten bigger

Ultra Deluxe contains the entirety of The Stanley Parable, and if you haven’t played that then it’s one of the easiest recommendations I’ll ever make – but if you have, this rerelease offers far more than a literal trip into The Memory Zone. Ultra Deluxe’s new content feels comparable to the original in size and scope.Given how many secret paths and hidden endings The Stanley Parable contains, it’s hard to tell exactly how big the new content in Ultra Deluxe really is, but I feel confident saying it’s comparable to the original with four to six hours of stuff to see at the very least. There is essentially an entirely new game to play through here, and the idea that it’s being presented as anything less is probably one of its best gags. Some of Ultra Deluxe’s content takes place in brand-new areas that pretty much feel like a straight up sequel, while other additions play out as remixed or altered versions of Stanley’s usual paths through the office. (I don’t know for sure, but I assume the question about whether you’ve played before determines how early this new content will pop up, as things start off entirely unassuming.) While The Stanley Parable pokes fun at games as a whole, it seems only right that Ultra Deluxe shifts its gaze toward the concept of sequels, expansions, and DLC – as well as some pointed self reflection about both the original game and its wider reception. Halo Infinite 

I don’t want to get into the specifics, but the new writing is no less clever, insightful, or funny than the old, and the way it all meshes together is a pretty brilliant take on an extremely difficult task. Framing everything this way, as new content for an existing game rather than the standalone thing it likely could have been if Crows Crows Crows really wanted to, allows Ultra Deluxe to make many points about the relationship between modern games and their updates more effectively, which was a real treat. At the same time, Ultra Deluxe’s new stuff didn’t always land quite as well for me. It’s all extremely entertaining, but one of the drawbacks of housing this pseudo-sequel within the original is the feeling that we’ve seen many of these magic tricks before. It’s not that they don’t hold up or aren’t still impressive, and it’s not that there aren’t plenty of new ones which delighted me all their own – but even if the well hasn’t run dry, it’s hard to shake the feeling that we are ultimately revisiting it (something Ultra Deluxe even enjoyably teases itself for). Because of that, some of the new and remixed paths alike initially felt like slightly more passive experiences than the base game’s – but upon reflection I’m not sure if that’s actually true or if their impact was just blunted slightly by the fact that I better knew what to expect nine years later.What is The Stanley Parable?

A man sitting at a desk in his windowless office

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is unlike any game out there and although it was originally released back in 2013, the developers have been hard at work adding even more strange content to freshen it up for its console debut. By the way, I didn’t play the original so this review is from the perspective of a player who’s completely new to the game. In The Stanley Parable, you play as Stanley,  who suddenly notices that everyone in his office seems to have disappeared. A narrator calls this out and starts describing what the player is doing as if telling a story about Stanley. As the player, you control Stanley’s movements around the office and can decide to follow the narrator’s prompts or go your own way. Your first playthrough of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will likely be over quite quickly but that’s just the beginning. Each time you reach an ending where Stanley either dies or the game resets due to other circumstances, you start back in the same office again with the same narrator saying the same lines. Then, the choices you make in a given playthrough determine which of many branches you end up going down. Do you take the left door and walk toward your boss’s office or do you take the right door against the narrator’s direction and head into the warehouse? Do you take the lift to the other side or do you jump off mid-way and make way through a seemingly inaccessible door? HALO WARS 2: Complete Edition

Every choice you make will send you down another unpredictable path which is very clever stuff. The vast majority of decisions in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe involve choosing which door to go through although there is the odd interaction with other elements in the scenery. Choosing which door to go through next actually kept me quite satisfied for a good 6 hours or so, especially when you throw in the extra content provided with this Ultra Deluxe package. However, I would have liked to experience more interactions with the scenery to help keep the gameplay fresh. Instead, I relied on making the right chain of decisions to open up areas outside of the typical office / warehouse architecture such as when I suddenly appeared in the middle of the game Firewatch, when I found myself admiring a pretty garden, or when I walked around the halls of a conference room complete with silly gags to celebrate the launch of The Stanley Parable 2 which is currently not a real game. When you manage to unlock a new area, it’s fun to explore it even though most areas remain rather linear.The narrator in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a key part of the fun. He seems to have a strong connection with Stanley and for some reason, is intent on telling a story that involves Stanley making certain decisions. If you follow the narrator’s guidance then you’ll get one of the good endings but that would be boring

Who turned out the lights?

Wouldn’t it? It’s much more fun to ignore him and listen to him go on about how you’re not listening to him. However, sometimes he does just that: goes on and on and will not stop talking while you’re just standing there waiting. The Ultra Deluxe edition actually has a gag about this and has you press a skip button if you go down one path but even though it’s very tongue-in-cheek, it still left me desperately wanting one. Some parts of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe had me laughing out loud whether from a silly quip by the narrator, something bizarre in the scenery, or just the sheer absurdity of doing something like climbing up the same set of stairs 5 times and jumping off to kill yourself to reset the loop. When you’re in the groove and keep finding new paths, it can be a lot of fun but when you seem to be repeating the same steps over and over again while changing your actions doesn’t seem to ultimately alter anything then you might get frustrated and resort to looking up a guide to discover content that you may have missed. The graphics in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe are pretty solid for the most part although not particularly special. However, I had a lot of trouble on multiple occasions with the brightness. I have an OLED TV and I was often annoyed that I couldn’t see a thing. This isn’t that common in games and when it happens, there’s usually a brightness setting but Halo Wars: Definitive Edition

The Stanley Parable doesn’t have one at all which made me merely walk around in circles a lot or walk into walls over and over until I managed to find a light in the distance. I’ve never given much thought to the “skip dialogue” button in a videogame, but after playing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe I can’t stop thinking about it. The button (it’s a physical button in the game world, so you have to be standing in a specific place to use it) is just one of several new features you can take for a spin in the “expanded reimagining” of 2013’s The Stanley Parable. Once again, stepping into Stanley’s shoes turns the act of playing a game into a hilarious, surprising, and at times deeply thoughtful examination of games and game development, players and player choice, and yes, even the consequences of pushing a button. I’ll get this out of the way early: It feels like a trap to review The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, considering that part of this expanded version takes place in a museum of memories, where the narrator reads aloud from several reviews of the original game. Not just professional reviews from Destructoid and GameSpot, framed and hanging on walls and lit by candlelight (PC Gamer’s own 90% review(opens in new tab) is missing, I noted with some disappointment), but also Steam user reviews unceremoniously dumped in piles and scattered around a rainy dockyard

including one which suggested a skip dialogue button was needed because the narrator talked a bit too much. It really gives you something to ponder while you’re pressing the new skip dialogue button because the narrator is talking a bit too much. Back to my point: Reviewing a game so willing to shine a light on its own reviews seems a bit like stepping onto a trap door clearly labeled “trap door.” On the other hand, walking into traps you’ve been warned away from, and doing things you’re not supposed to do before finding out the game really does want you to do them, is how you play The Stanley Parable. So, why not review it? Maybe it’ll wind up framed in The Stanley Parable re-re-release someday. But what even is Ultra Deluxe? It’s not just a remaster, though the original first-person game has been so faithfully rebuilt it took me several hours to realize it was no longer in the Source Engine but in Unity. You can play through it once again as office worker Stanley, who one day realizes he’s the only one in the building and sets out to discover what happened to his coworkers as a gentle storybook-style narration guides him through the empty corridors. The simple act of disobeying your instructions and making your own choices leads to numerous branching paths, a range of reactions from the narrator, multiple endings, and the pure joy of doing something unexpected and discovering that the game fully expected you to do it.
