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.
