"My motives are... complex"

Yeah, this game is ridiculous. It's funny how such a small detail as the fact that you can't click through the dialogue and have to play a game which is 90% fucking movie 10% game ruins it completely.

I got a lot of complains about this. I hate the "Decision Game" mechanic; it is dumb and has no charm at all, instead of super cool and original mechanics like the digital roots and the goated AB Game, this game just makes you take completely random decisions, there's nothing solid. I also think the groups mechanic is awful, like, one of the most interesting parts about the last two games is the fact that you see nine amazing characters interact with each other, and the fact that you restrain that almost 95% is just lame to me. It's ridiculous how the entirety of the soundtrack is fucking recycled, but at least they recycled two incredible soundtracks so eh.

But of course, the main dish of this game is that its story serves as the conclusion of the Zero Escape saga. Oh my god. How do I freaking begin.

This game's story is awful and I hate it from every point I see it. It is pointless, the plot twists are stupid and the way the narrative jumps from one place to another makes the game so convoluted and hard to understand for no reason. I hate it. The fact that this game was made as a conclusion for the Radical-6 infection and that topic is almost inexistent in this game is ridiculous. The conclusion of the story is super unsatisfying and overall almost every ending lacks substance and just comes out of nowhere. (Almost) all the characters I loved become extremely stupid in this game and the new ones are just unsufferable as well. I fucking hate Junpei and Akane in this game, and Mira and Eric are also kind of stupid. The D Team is the only one that's good overall but just because of how hard Phi and Sigma carry, cause I hate Diana as well.

Yeah, this is kinda what I was expecting with this game but still, they could've done so much better man... 999 and VLR are masterpieces, how did they fuck up this bad... If it wasn't for that fucking snail this game could've been good I swear...
