Kentucky Route Zero
When Kentucky Route Zero’s final Act landed, it was four years after Act 4 and more than seven years after Act 1. The journey was full of surreal incidents, introspection, philosophy and magical realism. But Act 5 felt relatively short, staying in a single town that had survived the flood and was picking up the pieces. You learned more about the place, buried some beloved horses, sang a song with the townsfolk and finally made the delivery to 5 Dogwood Drive. It was bittersweet, seeing it all come to a close in such a fashion, or perhaps it was anticlimactic to have an ending that felt more like a new start (which is something its characters definitely earned). Either way, it ended too soon.
