Still at its early state and the content not being fully released, I don't feel great rating this game just yet but I cannot help to write something for it right now as it sits on my mind.
First of all I'll start by saying that, as many people in this review section have said before, the idea of Project Moon, a company that has made a universe to critizise (one of the many things to critizise, i guess) the capitalist society we live in and how it affects people, it is kind of insane to come to the decision to make a gacha game out of everything they could've done. While I understand that a company has to hold itself and make some kind of revenue so that we can continue enjoying the great content they make, it's hypocritical to do it this way and still speak of how gambling is bad in this games second chapter. The fact that Limbus Company is a gacha game kind of goes against the message of all Project Moon's writting.
Still, I am playing it, like I've played many gacha games before despite hating how they prey on people, so i am kind of a hypocrite as well.
If you'd like to know, the gacha at least doesn't feel extremely predatory and it is easy to ignore and play completely free, which I always appreciate in gacha games because i refuse, and will always refuse, to give those games any kind of money. Project Moon are being generous with rewards, but I am still baffled that they would decide to make a gacha.
With that out of the way, I have to say that the first three chapters of this game have been very good. Gameplay wise, it is kind of like Library of Ruina, though in a more simple way. Not being able to target specific enemies when not fighting against abnormalities does suck but you soon learn how to deal with it and its entertaining.
Story has been very great so far, I really enjoy more character driven story telling and it's been achieved well here Chapter 3 was definitely the peak of this first release and I am looking forward to more, I am very attached to the characters in here so I'd love to see where this goes!
