I was really taken aback by both th of these games. The silver case has such a cohesive vibe throughout. The UI, dialogue and music is firing on all cylinders. I kind of went into 25th ward not expecting much hearing it was originally a mobile game. That being said I think I like it more than the first game. It goes to some really insane places in the story and dialogue. I’d say 25th ward had lower lows and higher highs whereas silver case is consistent throughout. While I got used to the controls eventually they do come with a little bit of clunk.

Scathing critique on capitalism. There’s a lot you can say about this game in that regard, but I’m only going to focus on a part of it that hit close to home for me. In the game there’s a certain medication you need to pay for to stay alive. It’s $100 which in the beginning of the game is quite pricey and even as I got more money it still hurt my wallet a lot to have to pay for it. As an American there’s lot of us that literally have to pay to stay alive by paying high prices for life saving medication. One example is insulin which costs about a dollar to make a weeks worth, but costs thousands depending on insurance status. I could keep going, but I’ll just end it here by saying that’s absolute ghoul behavior
