Truly a good sequel to the original installment. I loved all the little quality of life changes and playing through each chapter grabbed my attention and kept me wanting to find out what happened next. Of course, the game did have a few issues and I didn't like how there aren't really no checkpoints and if you forgot to save you kind of got screwed. The last boss was a bit of a "Payne" too. (Heh Heh, see what I did there). One thing that bothered me was the enemies would always be shouting "BAM!! BAM!!" I guess they were practicing with their guns for when they would run into me. Damn fine game, definitely would recommend it.

Had gotten this game for my birthday two years ago and just now was able to play and complete it in the past week. This one was a doozy. To be honest, the dungeon crawling and combat become very repetitive and monotonous, however even with the added party members and special moves you can learn and chain together I often found myself just running through a bunch of areas to see what would happen next. The dungeon layout and gameplay seem like something that would fit a psvita title. However where this game really shines is the art and the characters as well as the story. Wasn't expecting this to be a jrpg in regards to the length, even so, the story and events that kept occurring were enough to keep me invested. At first, I was almost ready to toss this to the side, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Sen is best girl! Holler if you hear me!!

Wow I can't believe I played the whole thing!- Jack Nicholson's voice.

This game was quite disappointing and the type of game you can get bored and burn out on very quickly. Started playing with a friend which made it more bearable for a few parts. Tried to do these repetitive side quests for the first 2 Acts and completely just said fuck it and started running through main quests only to finish the game. Worse thing is when you try to get through a game and ready for it to end and it just drags on and on and on. Cutscenes were pretty comical looking though. Glad im done with it and honestly hope Dead Island 2 will be way better. I did like how the environment was changing every once in awhile unlike when I played Dying Light and just saw the slums 24/7. All-in-all, you can clean a turd all you want, but a turd is still a turd.

Finished this one this morning and the thoughts of it still linger in my mind. This game was nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions and the disclaimer at the beginning of booting the game definitely threw me for a loop as I didn't think it would go that deep about the subject matter. I've played a lot of games up to now, but this one regarding its storytelling has become one of my favorites. From laughing out loud while talking to NPCs in Sweetheart's castle to the chilling pit of my stomach close to the end after going through the deep end well and into Black Space. Some parts do drag on a little bit, exploring places in the headspace can be interesting and the gameplay is nothing amazing, however, in the latter half, the twists and turns and subject matter it throws at you stick with you. You truly get attached to these characters and as the story unfolds you truly want to race to see what happens next. Certainly cannot recommend this game enough for the jrpg fans and ones who enjoy a good storytelling experience. Looking forward to seeing what this indie developer does in the future!
