A brief walking simulator/first-person game that is priced accordingly. Tonguç Bodur is a master of "trying different approaches" with all his games. Different storylines, sometimes preachy but often deep in scope. And, as always, beautiful graphics and pleasant background music. The game was well-optimized with visual settings maxed out, even on my 5 year old desktop PC.
As stated, it's very short: five chapters (give or take) that only take about five minutes or so each to complete...if you don't take the time to stop and enjoy the scenery. I would take the time to stop and enjoy the visual masterpieces in each chapter, as loving care is always taken by Tonguc to provide splendid environments, dark or light, indoors or outdoors, in all his games, and P 1951 has some gorgeous environments to wander around in, even if attimes you're railed in. SO many moving parts and just so lush. Tonguc is a master of environment creation.
The controls in this game are also different from his other walking simulators, and I think they're an improvement in this game (especially for those older gamers like myself who have some carpal tunnel issues). For instance: using M/KB with P 1951, clicking right-mouse and letting go means you don't have to hold down any walking/running/bike riding buttons to progress: once you press right-mouse, the movement is automatic; all the player has to do is steer with the mouse as you continue forward movement (in this case, nicely done; because you are usually riding a bicycle in this game). Well done! You can always click right-mouse again to stop and look around or backtrack if need be. Cleverly done!
The only negative in my opinion is the lack of "chapter replays" once the game is finished. The scenery and environments are so splendid to look at, I'd have loved to replay certain (albeit short) chapters just to take everything in....without having to replay the entire game from the beginning. Also, if you don't finish a chapter prior to quitting the game, you have to start from the chapter you left off at from the beginning. Not a big deal, as the chapters are brief.
There's also a mini-puzzle at the end of a couple of chapters (lining up visual scenes in circles in the sky...you'll know it when you get to it).
Finally, the voice over talent, while pleasant to listen to, could have been more professional in that it felt, to me, like the (English speaking voice over person, in my case) was simply reading a script when narrating. Very little emotion. As a former professional voice over person myself, I always tried to emote properly and effectively, based on the storyline and/or script presented to me. This guy was simply reading what in some cases was a very touching storyline, and with what little emotion was given to his narration, it was a bit cringe-y to listen to. Not that big a deal for a short game, but I have to be honest.
Overall, a beautiful game. Well-priced; cheap, in fact. I look forward to every game Tonguc creates. This one did not dissapoint. Well worth the small price to pay.
