Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery

It is okay. Not amazing not good. It is fun but there is way too much story. Maybe that's the genre, but I get tired of clicking and so long story that I just want to play. I would rather they make it into a movie and a game than make me have to keep clicking every 2 seconds to continue.

A fantastic turn-based tactics game. The Girls' Frontline universe is a really cool setting that gets wasted a bit by existing in live-service gachas, so this non-gacha is exactly what I was looking for. It strikes a really good balance between feeling impossible at times and allowing you to triumph with good planning and strategy. My first playthrough took about 60 hours on regular difficulty, trying to go for all S-ranks. By the time I got to the false-ending, I was burnt out and decided to come back later to go for the true end. A year and a half later I gave it another go (this time on Challenge difficulty) and reached the true ending after another 60 hours on a fresh save. I think Challenge difficulty is ideal for the BS to triumph ratio. At some sections I was scraping the barrel for parts and equipment, which felt really good since I typically horde resources for a rainy day that never comes. I did have some frustrations along the way: Some missions are ball-bustingly difficult and have lame instant failure conditions (all the mandatory stealth missions). Sometimes you just have to throw your head against the wall until you find the right route or positions through repeat…

You've lost everything. I'll neither bless nor curse you.

An extraordinarily hard game with an incredible story, with the only thing taking away from it being the stealth missions it makes you do frequently. It demanded frequent use of all of the items I've gathered, ramping up in difficulty to maps crammed with elite enemies and unique gimmicks I needed to be constantly balancing, often forcing me to rewind multiple turns or restart a battle to avoid losing the S rank. The story requires you read a lot of the background information to understand what's going on, but it is incredibly interesting, especially if you're already a fan of Girls' Frontline games. The finale is nothing short of perfection as well, being a flawless execution to the buildup they've been doing the entire story. Play the game, it's challenging, but it's peak.

bit late to make a review but probably the best game ive ever played its 100% worth playing

cant believe i had to go through that again 10/10
