i'm gonna go ahead and call this my favorite game in the series, which i'm aware is not the popular opinion
i liked the ending of the trilogy, it felt appropriate that rufus, of all people, shouldn't have the happy ending, as someone like him can't really grow without learning to sacrifice, and that last choice he makes at the end was the biggest sacrifice someone as self-centered as him could possibly make
it ruled!
but it sucked that goal had no closure, especially since she was treated as nothing but an object (a literal "goal") throughout most of the series, the subject of jokes, the victim of rufus' bullshit, but you know, it's a comedy, so we allow for the fact that she falls in love with him anyway, because, well, i do anyway, guess i can't speak for everyone
but... then he disappears from her life, and the last thing we see of her is cletus pretending to be rufus to the elders on elysium, as she walks out the door
she gets nothing
but this game, despite starring rufus as the protagonist once again, is much more about her coming to terms with everything he did, good and bad, and i admire the developer's commitment to the original trilogy's ending, while finally giving goal the opportunity to move on
it's also remarkably less sexist in tone, although the shit with lotti sure did amp up the transphobia angle, unfortunately... a case of some steps forward and some steps back, i guess
puzzle-wise, i found a lot of the time travel loopy stuff to be too tedious in ways even clone-rufus didn't bother me, but i'm such a fan of the plot in this one that it doesn't even matter!

no one really asked for this one
The one that was totally unnecessary
Another fun-filled adventure, but this time, in time travel! Anyone who has completed the last game would guess that this would have to have come into play, as there really was no other way to continue it without bringing back certain characters. Not much I can say about the story besides that it gets confusing and would leak into spoiler territory.
There are many moments of laughter, but I certainly don't believe this was as good as the previous entries. It feels like this was made as a response for people who were upset with the ending of the last game, more than anything else. Either way, if you enjoyed the series so far, check out this ending and I hope you won't be disappointed. I kind of was at the beginning, but more I think about the ending, it fits well.

Extremamente fã da série mas Doomsday é decepcionante. O humor e os puzzles mesmo que em menor quantidade está lá, mas a história que conclui tudo não ficou a altura.
La gente no se puede estar quieta y quería una secuela para una trilogía cerrada y con buen final, así que les dieron un juego con puzles e historia sin sentido, con un personaje secundario horrible que se parece al puto bbno$, con literalmente transfobia para hacer un chiste con un buen personaje de los juegos anteriores y, para colmo, descanonizan todos los juegos anteriores. Y es que el juego apenas es gracioso siquiera, me duele que esta sea la conclusión de mi saga favorita y deseo que ojalá nunca hubiera salido. El juego se ve bien duro porque tenían más dinero, tiene muy buenos fondos y música la verdad.
Should have stayed a trilogy but stillfun
no hacía falta y los creadores lo sabían
Couldn't really catch me for a reason
Ok, fuck this.

Minha sensação que esse jogo é uma grande chacota com quem reclamou do final do terceiro jogo, não sei é uma boa ideia criar um jogo pra cuspir na cara de quem criticou, mas tá aí, vale a pena jogar? Na minha opinião não. Tenho boas lembranças do primeiro e segundo jogos, mas provavelmente depois desse 4 nunca mais revisitarei essa série, uma pena.
The worst game in the series
