A celebration of video games. A really good story about how people with different lives can learn to rely on each other. Clever and varied gameplay. For the price and the friend pass, this is a solid GOY candidate

It was fantastic.

Positives:
-The characters feel like real human beings, the acting, movements, everything about them feels real and unique
-Mechanics: I like the hidden choices, recording everything, choosing who to talk to and what to talk about
-Graphics: Surprisingly good? It's a big leap compared to their other games.
-Acting: Pretty good overall
-Music: Very good overall, but not as memorable as their first LIS. Still pretty good!

Negatives?
-Pacing: Maybe a bit too slow. I think the old 5 episode format could be better. I miss when each episode had a defined "theme" and left you wanting for more. With this game it felt like a very long stretched out episode one. It's not like I was not enjoying it, but I kept waiting for something big to happen. Note: Tape 2 is not out at the time of writing this.
-The choices can be misleading. You can say something that seems "good", but the way Swann delivers the line makes the girls upset. I will be replaying it to change my choice lol
(remind me to update after tape 2)

very good game. I was going insane with all the loops. But that's the actual experience the protagonist had so, well done lol. I don't know if I would buy it full price, but I liked it.

Played it again after 10 years. It's really a masterpiece. Please play it.

this game is magic. I don't know how the devs made all these systems work

I really enjoyed this. The themes surrounding the bosses is something I miss from old games like megaman. The art direction is so inspired! It kept my interest the whole time.


love everything about it so far, but the art direction is what shines the most

this performance is embarrassing.

RE games have been and a winning streak for a long time. I don't know what engine they use but their graphics are one of the few I can enjoy these days. Nothing is really groundbreaking, but it's just so well done and polished.

Legs

It's ok. Missing many boxers. I still feel like I don't have control of my character. Very sticky, like some NBA 2K games. Something I hate is not being able to go to main menu right after you finish a fight. I wanna move on to the next one quick. Make it so you can skip that. Other than that it looks great and sounds great. Some tweaks here and there and it will be great.
