having done absolutely nothing but binge this game twice in the span of 10 days creation and vengeance route each i feel very confident in saying that this game is very solid very consistent and very much worth every moment i spent wandering in it

i think my love forever lies still with the CoC True Neutral ending as i found it encompassing of the game's ideas better than anything Vengeance provided but i dont think Vengeance's goal was to replace that, per se. it felt like forcing a rogue element constantly challenging the characters in interesting ways and expanding upon the solid foundation of the lore whhhileeee providing some VERY great moments for (almost) everyone. admittedly, the retreading Vengeance route does for Creation's content can be a tad frustrating at times especially when the new content is so so strong but that may be a byproduct of having experienced both so closely together and back to back... one thing Vengeance ought to be verily praised for is the fact that technically both routes are extremely valid answers to the "problem of the world" and both are handled quite satisfyingly with stellar fights in both. aahhh fuck i was thinking about smth but i forgot cuz this ramble is taking me out. whatever, game good. it falters in that its ideas and presentation aren't as strong as the mountain of prior mainline games but this is more than a worthy endeavor that cements itself as a titan among titans standing shoulder to hip with the greatest the industry has ever offered (get it? shoulder to hip cuz its not quite shoulder to shoulder w nocturne n co! yippeee!)

SHOUTOUT AOGAMI DAS MY ONIICHAN!!!!!!! COOLEST CHARACTER EVER!!!!!
