One of the most overrated games ever.

First of all, It is a touching game undoubtedly, the storytelling is also quite neat.
However, the problem is on the "widely acclaimed" story itself, in which one can easily recognize the developer's desperate attempts to make it sensational by putting all the cliche "sensational features" brutally together. e.g., Asperger syndrome, death of twin brother, amnesia, alienated marriage, broken childhood promise, unspoken love and yes, CAR ACCIDENT ??!

Mixing all those together and we get this canned condensed sensation, then the game simply smashes it right on your face, yelling "You better cry, b*tch !".

Of course, this canned condensed sensation might quench one's thirst for sensation, but also tastes too cheap and artificial for one who is not.

(p.s. And all the out of place tryhard meme jokes are just way too many, which is extremely annoying most of the time)

Best textbook example of how to use cinematic techniques properly in video games (for instance, montage and jump cut), because of this, I would recommend this work primarily to all game developers as an inspiring educational game...
