genuinely more power to you if this game and other games in its genre are your cup of tea but i have never had such an unfun, frustrating experience playing something before up until this. like, i stuck it through, i did beat it, but i don’t even feel anything for completing it aside from “thank god it’s over so i don’t have to turn this on anymore”. i don’t feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
i like playing games for plot/story/characters, and maybe i could have liked this game just riding solely off of that (stranger of paradise is my favorite game of the year thus far and there’s about 10 minutes of story in it total), but whatever the plot is is not only spread incredibly thin across the entire runtime of the game, but the characters all speak in riddles and are all named similarly and i have no idea what anyone is like or who anyone is after a while. when i pull up at a new grace and melina goes “hey time to loredump to you about this location”, this doesn’t endear me to her character, i literally don’t know anything about her because the only time she talks to me she just wants to speak exposition at me. how am i even supposed to care when she goes human torch mode i don’t even know her! we’re not friends!!! this is like the driver ahead of you paying for your meal at the drive thru, like thanks dude, i don’t really know you but that was cool of you to do i guess?
this is probably the main reason why i like ranni the most since she has like 3 or 4 lines where she doesn’t just loredump at you, but then i minus points because she was angry at me while she was in amiibo form like girl i am trying to HELP YOU. anyways we’re gay married so i don’t mind that too much anymore.
again big power to you if this genre of game is something you enjoy, everyone has different things they like, i’m not trying to say “everyone should hate this it sucks”, this is probably a fantastic game, but this was so not fun for me personally. i was fine at the start but by the middle of the game and especially toward the end i was just frustrated and. Not Having Fun. and games are supposed to be fun. so idk.
the fact you can’t pause this game even in offline mode gets a full star taken off from me what the fuck dude
