We get to learn a lot more about other cultures, societies, and how things operate on Versus. We also get further development on characters that were only touched on in the Last Ones, as well as incredible new ones that you meet along your journey.I think it should be noted that most of your time IS spent with new characters instead of the old ones (with a few exceptions). If that bothers you then you might not like this game.The mysteries Zack set up in the first book also get explored more here in a very satisfying way. You find answers to some things, but they often create even more questions. It doesn't feel jumbled or overly confusing though. It only serves to heighten the tension.The last thing I think is worth mentioning is the overall tone of the game. In The Lost Ones, I could create great relationships with all the people I liked and have a more or less "happy ending." But things get very political in this game. A lot of people that I really liked had VERY different views and opinions. Eventually you have to make a choice on where you stand, and no matter what you decide someone will get hurt. It's just a matter of who. In this manner, it reminds me a bit of Heroes Rise: The Hero Project. This is the kind of game that really makes you think about your ideologies and why you choose them. Even more amazingly, it doesn't make a judgment on your actions or push you towards a certain way of thinking *cough* Hero Project Redemption *cough*.Overall this game builds on the complexities of the last one in every way without becoming confusing or preachy. Versus is an increasingly fascinating world, and your character has the opportunity to become even more unique and customized to your liking.But the cuss words still suck.. it's pretty good. it follows the stories and allows you to make some major choices.not a lot of combat scene and character relationship scene, hopefully they could improve on that.but the storyline is solid.. The game definitely requires you play the first, and if you like that, this is a very dedicated and expected sequel in the same vein with continuations of most of the themes and threads from that. I saw some people disappointed the game didn't make a sudden turn in its contents and themes which seems a bit strange considering how it laid itself out in the first, but I suppose that's something to beware if you expect something else going in when playing this game. Love it to death, a romp of meta-scifi goodness quashed in a lot of morality issues.. I just finished this game and holy\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665was that good. Loved every minute of it. If you like Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games or books, you'll love this. VERSUS: The Elite Trials was a fantastic work and something I will definitely play through again and again. I will also tell as meny people as possible about how genuinely fantastic it is. Thank you Choice Of Games for another wonderful experience. And most of all, thank you to Zachary Sergi for writing such a great piece of fiction!. In general, if you enjoyed VERSUS: The Lost Ones, you are bound to enjoy this one even further. The continuation develops on itself quite neatly and the author's gain in experience is shown in the game's more intricate nature - gameplay and story wise.That being said, VERSUS: The Elite Trails is an amazing story, still one of the best from the Choice of Games platform, and it explores the universe imagined by Zachary Sergi quite well, deepening on its lore and creating new relationships with new characters. However, it can be lackluster, depending on what you are looking for.Following the trend on most Choice of Games titles (as opposed to some of the greatest Hosted Games titles), this game still attempts, and expands on, putting players in labeled boxes, trying to fit them on criterias instead of allowing their personality to flow. Taking further steps in the Mastery and Growth concepts utilized in the first book, you now have more stat variants and more goals to focus on, which, while they give you plenty of replayability, they also complicate your freedom of choice, since if you want to actually succeed and thrive in the game's world and score systems, you need to follow a role, an idea, a specific path which the author believes most closely matches with a personality type.Instead of giving you choices with consequences, the game gives you specific paths to follow, and while it allows you to diverge on those paths at any point in time, it also doesn't let you thrive if you do so. Most times, those paths are not even clear enough to the player, as even your choice of food may affect your stats, your character's personality and power, and this may generate apprehension as the player must wonder whether his choice falls in lign with whatever path he was forced to choose or not, or even fight against his intuition and desire to choose an option he feels is right for his character, but the game disagrees.It is disappointing to see a CoG game at this stage still being so limited in this matter, especially taking into account how experient Zachary is, having released more than 5 books in the platform already.Combat, while we are still on the matter of gameplay, is short, predefined, and generally speaking, weak. If you like to engage on combat as much as possible, you'll not only be disappointed with the lack of variety, you'll also be disappointed by how weak your character seems, being so near of ever-powerful beings. Though that might just be the circunstances you find yourself at in this story.As to the story itself, without bringing any margin for spoilers to the table, it expands on the VERSUS universe, ties some loose ends, creates more loose ends, the main story unfurls wonderfully and continuously, and leaves you wanting more. Exactly what you'd expect from one of Zachary's games. If I have any critiques about the game's story, they are those:First, if you are a heterosexual male, your romance options fall short. As in, they fall into an abyss. The game seems to give a lot more attention, detail and focus to homosexual, agendered and non-binary players and characters. If you are a heterosexual player, your options pale in comparison, giving the sensation that they were rushed and undeveloped. To keep it short, romance is not a strong suit in this VERSUS book, as it where in the Heroes Rise original trilogy.Secondly, this game - as in others written by Zachary - tries and introduces his imagination of societal concepts to the reader, and these new concepts are often well introduced, being part of the game's world and provoking emotional responses within the player through events. In this game, the author attempts to do the same with even more concepts in a much grander scale, and the experience may cause the player to feel disconnected by how abstract the descriptions are, how unconnected to the main story they seem, and especially, by how the emotional responses are provoked (more like forced) into the player's character, instead of the human reading the story. Breaking the main story to introduce politics many times over actually detracts from the experience.Finally, the game leaves a lot more room for the development of the story. So much so that I can't really feel it will be over in the next book in the series... Hopefully that's an indication that more than one will come, and that we will have plenty more of the planet Versus to explore.Ultimately, VERSUS: The Elite Trials feels like an experiment. First and foremost, the continuation to the story presented in book one, but an experiment into something new nonetheless. Some features worked well, others, not as much, and we can only hope that the next title will have thoroughly learned with its predecessor so we'll all have an even grander experience in the next to come.If you are already a fan of Zachary's games, or the Choice of Games platform, this is one of the gems worth taking. If you are looking for a feature not commonly found in a CoG title, or which goes against what I described in this review, then you are probably better off looking for a Hosted Games title instead.. Moves leaps and bounds foward. The author keeps track of a vast array of information, shows considerable foresight, and makes a truly epic fantasy tale.. The story seems a bit short (I read it the first time through in 4 hours) but it does do a good job and expanding the story and moving forward. However, I feel like the gender-bending in this series has too much focus. There's a lot, and I mean a lot of focus on different genders and new vocab that I cant even really bother to understand. Also, this story has a section in it that... doesnt really make sense. Quite frankly, it feels like the structure is a bit off, but then again this does seem like it is going to be a long multi-book series. Therefore, the story probably feels like the structure is off because it may be setting up as a background for a future chapter.Overall, it was an enjoyable expereince.. I loved it. I just wish the romances were fleshed out a little more. Perhaps that's not the main goal of the story (seeing its high direction toward ethical and political conundrums), but if the romance portion is available, I'd like more! :)
