Kentucky Route Zerois such a special game, a magical realist adventure telling the story of several people travelling along a strange subterranean route, all Americana and bluegrass and oh so literary.
The journey started in January 2013 and we’ve reviewed Actsone,two,three, andfouralong the way. The most recent episode (acurious late-night TV interlude aside) came out in 2016. “I don’t think I could name a more beautiful game,” our former Alec (RPS in peace) said - and not just for its beautiful sights and sounds.
“In fact there is beauty woven through the core of KRZ: its love of images, its love of words, its love of the American landscape, and perhaps most of all in its preoccupation with the warmer side of the human mind.” I can confirm: it is very nice.
