FREERIDE

I first saw a promotional video for FREERIDE on TikTok before its release. I added it to my wishlist and eagerly waited for it to come out. When I finally got to play it, I have to admit it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The marketing made the "personality test" seem like a major part of the game, but in reality, the results are a bit disappointing. They're not as accurate as I had hoped, and they don't really have any meaningful impact on the gameplay. Despite that, I ended up really loving the characters and the story. Replaying the game isn't just recommended for the true ending, it's practically necessary if you want to fully understand what's going on. One of the game's strengths is how rewarding it feels as you slowly piece everything together. Every playthrough led me to new locations, events, and interactions, making each run feel like a fresh experience. Yet, even after finally finishing the game, there are some parts of the story that just don’t make sense. The combat system is, frankly, the game's weakest aspect. I genuinely don't know what the developers were thinking. That said, once you get used to it, it's not difficult (aside from the frequent glitches durin…

Absolute cinema. This is really a peak cinematic piece of storytelling I have played in a while I love it so much. Still I have to address the obvious problems this game have. Let's start with the positive first. I love the characters so much. All of them have unique real personality and none of them feels shallow. Even side characters who I don't have to intervene is lovely. Especially that fat cat, the door and dog student... or is she a cow I think. My favourites characters are Kohno, Solo, that bird, the cat shirt girl and especially Kad because he is ultimately similar to my long-lost bestfriend. I even like Proto even though he is supposed to be self-insert main character. For the scenery I really love it, It's really beautiful. You can clearly see that game is made by artists just by looking at the title screen. Each terrain, models, textures even each act is a creative masterpiece. I can see their soul in the game and it makes me want to see their other works. The writing and direction is good. Sometimes it is confusing and hard to really makes sense of the words until you play the game again. Not gonna lie my first run is the most chaotic run there are like it is …

game made me angry >: ( spoiler warning.... [spoiler] Solo said not to follow him when he ran off crying, so i didnt !!! even tho i still wanted to help...i assumed he needed some space so i just kept exploring. [/spoiler] then the [spoiler] seer asked me why i didnt pursue him and bothered to listen to more of his story !!!! [/spoiler] and the only options i could respond with...was that [spoiler] i either hated him, didnt care, or already heard of his story before !!! [/spoiler] and neither of which was true !!!!! I didn't even think [spoiler] following him [/spoiler] was an option !!! i was never given any clues so my autistic butt just [spoiler] left him alone [/spoiler] T_T def a skill issue but i just wandered around the map after trying to find where he went after I reloaded the save and softlocked myself out of being able to get another [spoiler] seer reading in the secret [/spoiler] by saying no to it. otherwise i wouldnt be able to leave that place.... this whole thing put me off from playing the game for a week or two.....bleh but i liked the art my fav character so far is [spoiler] dakuiri [/spoiler] cuz he looks so fun to doodle ! and his facial expressions are the b…

Criminally underrated, I cannot recommend it enough. There's a surprising amount to do if you don't mind replaying it a lot

I played this fully though the first time i opened the game. it was really good and the story grasped me more than i expected it to. i enjoyed the characters, their diversity and personalities of everyone. Looking forward to my next play through.

Act 4 is absolute cinema. Along with the rest of the game too ig.
