This was the worst game I've ever had the displeasure of playing. The first 1.5 hours is mostly talking I've done 1 fight, 3 rock band rip offs and I just couldn't anymore.

This game is a complete waste of storage space and Norwegian taxpayer money. I don't even care about the "woke" elements its just fundamentally a horrible game and not enjoyable at all.

Let me start off by saying that this game is an exercise in maximalism. Everything this game does, it does a lot of it. What people say on the internet is true. There’s so much “representation” that it feels like it was just randomly assigned to characters. So much so that I’m not entirely sure if there’s a single person in the world who can 1:1 relate to much of the cast. With that said, the game succeeds on several fronts:

-Soundtrack that sets up many cinematic moments
-Script is mostly charming and entertaining. There are some heavy handed moments, but across the game’s playtime, they’re far and few in-between.
-Some of the character designs are visually appealing (there are definitely some that look like there’s too much going on)
-The story is interesting—it throws every possible plot twist imaginable at you. On the basis of maximalism, it doesn’t let you get bored. Whether this makes a good story is up for your interpretation
-A lot of diversity of gameplay that breaks up any monotony of doing any one thing for too long
-The assessment of player choice at the end of each chapter is fun and interesting
-Sol and Noam are show-stealers for me

Shortcomings:
-Songs for the rhythm section were pretty on-the-nose—arguably by design, but I think those were the main parts that ever got an “oh brother—we get it” out of me
-The game would benefit from a dedicated sprint button at times as walking can feel like you’re wasting time at moments
-Some character designs feel like they were designed by the most overstimulated person in the pillbox
-Combat is a little clunky, but the combat encounters are brief and breezy enough that it hardly matters
-A few moments where I felt like I was railroaded into decisions I didn’t want to make

Overall, I think the overall charm of the game has outweighed any gripes I have with it

I don't care what anyone else says, this is a really nice game. As someone who is both plus-sized and queer, it's great to see a whole cast of characters like me instead of the one or two tokens whose whole personality is being the minority. The art is beautiful, the game plays fine, and the dialogue isn't nearly as awkward as others claim -- even when it's supposed to be awkward, because we're meant to feel like these are real people and not just actors reading a script, and sometimes conversations are awkward.

In conclusion, 10/10 recommend if you're not a bigoted incel.
