Grand views
The charismatic art style of Grand Values: Monaco is arresting, a chunky aesthetic that’s reminiscent of Valve’s Team Fortress 2, and an unusual choice for the genre. Its stripped-down look ensures that each situation we find ourselves in is immediately readable, but there’s still plenty of detail in the environments – not least the striking view of Monaco we enjoy during one outdoor section that overlooks the city. Every character is motion-captured, and while the voice acting in our demo comes across as a little brash, the cast are a likeable bunch. Amy, especially, is an appealing protagonist who eschews the usual femalecharacter design clichés for something more grounded.
