Don't get the hate for this game at all. It's really charming and well written, the characters are a standout, specially since episode 3; the music is fantastic and the musical sections, even if they are the poorest thing about the game for its lack of mechanical engagement, they're imaginative and very consistent with transmitting how the band itself is trying to communicate with its audience, special mention to the section in the last episode that made me tear up with joy.

The most problematic thing about this game is that at times I get the same feeling as watching a Noah Baumbach movie, this (featuring a diverse and brilliant cast) feels too much like a White First World Problems story. It is undoubtedly a story that talks about priviledged people living very specific lives being anoyed by not getting the fullest of it all. The most important thing if you can cope with this, is that the game goes beyond the most standard and superficial layer of this classic L.A characters to focus on modern relationships, the hardships of working together and the how all of this relates to an artistic job that feels impossible to tackle and success.

This game has a discourse and heart, and for what it tries to say I think it manages in a pretty beautiful way to elevate all of this characters and their relationships to the point the player can relate to them feeling a part of the team. Really hoping this game gets on Netflix or any subscription service that can make an audience resonate with it.

It deserves more.
