pssst ,, that was from google xd jus 2 provide sum contex
K , i want 2 be fair , coz honestly this was jus a filler game ,meaning i only play it when im bored. hence the times where id play it r spread out .Nd if yukno me yu kno i have terrible TERRIBLE ! memory . supa strong STRONg emphasis on dat . Dory the fish . its me . i already 4got the plot of the whole game , honestly . Took me like , maybe two or three months 2 finish the whole game .. i played it like once every two weeks . i rarely get bored of the main games i play , i tend 2 stick 2 the same shit repeatedly .. This was the rare occurence where i stepped out my comfort zone .. nd was unfortunately dissapointed .. i did walk in with hhighh expectations. Set by others .. I was told this game shared similar/same fanbases with Sally face( one of or dare i even say my favourite game ). . Nd sf has this unique kind of esque? 2 it . ykno . like a .. strange ,off-putting essence .. this game did not capture it as much as i thought it would .. Not its fault of course , jus , from what ive been told ,. All G . jus prolly mis information on the internet . prolly my fault sorta 4 bein oblivious .. adding on2 the filler game tingamajig , whenever i played it ,it was cz i was bored , rite . Often times when i be bored id be sleep deprived aswell . lol. its like one on one. One cant exist without the other . . so it did make my experience a little worse .
jeez , how painful it was going thru that slow burner of a game whilst constantly fighting 2 keep my eyelids open ... Hey , no h8 2 any1 that likes games that take their time but 4 me personally Get str8 2 the point!!! ! ! the amount of useless dialogue , loading screens , unecessary long distances 2 travel ,, yeowch ! free me ! actually no need , i already am free . finished the game start 2 end ., like , this isnt even the longest game ive ever played . Far from the top even . yet it felt so so much longer cz it was jus Dragging way 2 much .. i could summarize everything in a small paragraph ;so little content in such a long journey . No but aside from that , the devs genuinely did an awesome job . im jus sayin its not 4 me . i do C what theyre going 4 . nd honestly i do rel8 a lil2 Mae -the mc in some sorta way aswell . i can c Y others would enjoi this game nd find so much comfort in it cz of how specific it is Nd that they did a good jorb capturing the essence of being lost slash unsure of a students lyf well . that part of the game kindsa hit me .. but the other cons is jus 2 painfully overpowering .. hah,, this is the very first bulletpoint in the notepad - "feels like it has 2 be played one real lyf day per ingame one coz its wayyy 2 long !,, Hei psst past me , i agree with yu man . still now after i finished the game .. Have i mentioned this ? that i wrote these bulletpoints as i played thru the game . thats the first one when i was near jus the beginning of the game yet it still stands strong as a point till now . Really highlights that issue specifically 4 me .
more on the slowburnerness ,,the dialogue was honestly 2 much . i do love the quirky personalities of all the characters , even the background ones r unique nd silly in their own way .But sumtimes its like Bro jus be typing shit ,, its too long ! feels more like a book than a videogame . Like , needs more action ! its a gaamee not a storybook .. doesnt help that i struggle with reading ;dyslexia bullshit . Thats jus my fault i kno but its 10x worse when theres 10 x moar words 2 consume . the awkward pauses in the dialogue i feel is like their , er , quirk ? like its a thing here . dunno how else 2 describe it . jus a thing they do ... like a long pause of silence . kind of necessary since itsITS THEIR THING! but im not a fan of it ! id always think , ouh dialogue ends there but nein!im stuck unable 2 move nd Ohwhoops more dialogue surprise! Nd its like , ok , it helps makin the conversations seem moar natural nd flowy but sumtimes the pauses be toooo long,, way 2 long ! i promise my attention span isnt bad , im actually rather patient but holleeee ,,, this game really tests my limits huh . . travelling / traversing thru the world is also painstakingly slow . i guess its fair since there is the whole town 2 explore but places like the underground sewer with the pretzels , gettin from one end 2 anotha takes like legitamately a minute . Nd it might not seem much but the distance actually travelled is like five centimeters dud .. nd Add those minuts 2gether with the rest of the town , plus travelling back nd forth .arrhhchhhghgh.. not fun!
ykno that saying ,, wat was it again ? sumtin like a err, false sense of decision .. ? like , the dialogue options 4 Sayori from DDLC nd eitherway she dies , rite ? theres a lot of that here .. its very normal in games nd its one of those features that i h8 so much with a burning passion
reminds me so much of genshit impact . like yu tink yu did sometin but really its not significant at all Nd the response wld be the same regardless ... Theres a few of these useless dialogue options in night in the woods ,which jus generally pisses me off lawl . any game with this id h8 that feature ,. yeh . this singular thing deserved its own complain paragraph
Ok tis one is most definitely a skill issue but demon tower is so difficult i didnt even get 2 complete it , nd ion tink i was even close 2 the ending ., it was more so frustrating than fun .. its a game in a game Nd they failed the game in the game Plus the game itself .k no they didnt necessarily fail the game but the game failed my expectations . tomato ..tomato ..... . . Also the ps controller port is ass cheeks . controls were sort of strange ?nd it was difficult 2 even move around ( in demon tower ) .Dud , the bass rhythm game was straight up a stalagmite up yo ass hole brah! i had 2 switch 2 keyboard everytime it was band practise . was bummed that L1/R2etc wasnt a button option .. but again prolly not much they could do bout it . game was likely designed 2 b played with a keyboard nd mouse but ehhhhhh
Sorry , i feel like im leaning so much 2wards the negatives . i did state it at the beginning that thatll be the case but i feel i didnt properly export my feelings on this game well . i genuinely do think this is a good game and theres so so many aspects of it that i enjoy . but i feel at every nice little thing about the game i like , theres always a flaw 2 it that jus , ruins it entirely.. 4 example . i love the dream segments , the visuals , parkour nd music . but its so ez 2 get lost nd aimlessly hop around . i kno theres a glowy light 2 follow but sumtimes its jus not there nd yu gotsa get near enuf 4 it 2 start sparking . Nd the world barriers on the left n rite i mean , r way 2 far . i be tinkin ouh theres sumtin this way!givin me a false hope nd after a lllonnngg walk its like Nope invisible barrier here Nothing this way ! then id have 2 slowly jot my way thru back 2 the main path that ion even know whereabouts it is ! . but truly, the musix nd visuals r impeccable .. the art style is also very cute . Beatrice is my favourite , i liked the "fight,, she had with mae . it was very realistic and rel8able .Not often shown in media ,, like , makes yu feel not so alone . since its such a unique-feeling experience when it really isnt . many others feel this way but yu jus feel foreignsumtimes . nd it was a sweet reminder that Many others experience the same .. i am quite fond of the little creepy cult segment they had 2wards the end too , ouh who woulda thought! xd from a sf fan ! act shocked ,, there smore supa cute moments like , one of my favourites , when greg starts wigglin his arms nd tweaks tf out lolz . or when mae jus . raises her arms .. favourite one was when she awkwardly jus raises it 2 feel the breeze of winter. ohoooo nd angus' ears when it perks up . little cute features ..
again , this is all my own opinion .. nd id be more than happy 2 discuss moar bout the game with some1 else that understands this game more , coz honestly , i didnt know wat was goin on half the time . 4am ,heavy eyelids , rereading the same sentence thrice nd spamming the proceed button .. yeh .. the plot is all foggy nd pure nonsence in my head. dont think i even know most of the characters name honestly ,, besides the main four . K . i really do feel bad , i can tell this was su ch a high quality effort game , so polished nd well made nd im here shitting on it lol . but im not , ok . every game has its flaws nd nuthins perfect . obviously i wasnt the target audience so boo hoo on dat .K , thas all rilly that i had 2 say . jus felt like writing a review of some sorts . ill do the same 4 every new game i play now onwards ,jus cuz , idunno . feels nice 2 write down my thoughts sumtimes that arent jus all depressive words. One game im 4sho excited about is little nightmares 3 , out on october . so likely 2wards the end of spooky month a new blog review wld be out :-) hopefully positive ! i know little nightmares had never let me down ..
Gnite ! zzZ
