TLDR: My review is a cesspool of garbage, I mainly have it here now just to keep my log of thoughts

Act 1 was great, but then the other acts kind of fell apart. The ending doesn't really explain the story too well, and it feels random. I read the lore and arg explanations, and I am dissatisfied with the story. It doesn't explain why act 1 happens so I'm confused about that too. It's fun overall, and Act 1 carries it for sure.

EDIT: Had to watch matpat, explained the lore well and now the game is a 4/5 for me (Initially a 3/5)

It was fun. However, the story did not even come close to the fans' predictions. There are so many cool theories coming from the fanbase that are completely either unrevealed yet or just theories. The story doesn't explain the time machine or anything. I thought we would get more info on the lore. However, there is that entry in Sada's/Turo's journal that hints at something I may have missed or is coming. Overall fun, but highly disappointed in the story. The endgame of the base game is still the best story we have gotten so far for the game.


*WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS!*






Edit: Holy shit the journal entry goes hard. I take back half of what I said. My opinion of the writers went up. Some insane twist. If you bring Terapagos to the lake in Katakami, you will get an insane cutscene. Completes the game. Also, Briar should have been the villain but whatever.
