I wanted to like this game. DontNod finally has almost believable dialogue (or maybe its bc it's DeckNine, these developers confuse me) and I do enjoy the main character and her powers. But those powers were SQUANDERED on a game where NOTHING happens whatsoever.
I know they can't make life is strange 1 (again-version) but this feels like a badly paced Netflix show about the barely interesting lives of some random village that Netflix know they'll just cancel after a season.
The main character faffs about for like, ACTUALLY 95% of the game doing nothing whatsoever until she has a magical(?) temper tantrum to further the plot a little bit. What tiny amount of plot there is, that is.
How did they spend an entire EPISODE on that damn dungeons and dragons live game involving the whole village and thought that was a good idea? That the player wouldn't strangle wanna strangle the damn kid? I almost deleted the game but I was like "maybe the twist makes up for it". The twist is that it is literally the first person you suspect who is the "bad guy". Hmm, who immediately gives me bad vibes here? Surely this studio wouldn't do that after genuinely shocking reveals in previous games?
They did do that. It made me angry. mxmtoon singing was the only highlight of the whole game.
