Despite how fucked up everything is, you can still go to a bar and have a drink to forget your woes. VA-11 HALL-A is a strange game for me, in one point I absolutely loved everything this game does, LGBTQ themes, pixel art, cyberpunk, and a dystopian future. Yet I struggled to get super involved and invested in the longevity of this world. I don't know why. I commend it on where it takes the player, but for me, I just found myself losing interest towards the end. I unfortunately failed paying the final rent, so didn't even get to see the successful panning out of the plot. But it still gave a satisfying ending.
