Contradiction would be really enjoyable on its own, but for an FMV fan like myself, it's impossible to separate it from the delight at seeing a much-maligned genre beginning to find its place. Developers like Follin have taken something that, let's be honest, never worked that well to begin with, out to the woodshed, dismantled it and reassembled its core components into something that really makes sense.
Based on pure fact alone, I don't think I should like Contradiction, but I really do! This is proof positive that games can be better than just the sum of their parts. 15 minutes in, my initial impression was that this is just a cheaply made FMV attempt...
