The story was like reading a Chinese MTL Manhua. it made some funny references to other games and movies, there is a concept of existential dread with a cute female lead, the grammar was a bit off though - but despite this, your brain fills in the gaps easily as you go along - especially when you're used to it, lol. All that really matters, is whether the story "gets to you"- that's what keeps you hooked. And oh boy ~ it reallllllyy was quite something! The art and music helped set the mood A LOT. Without this character design, unique-artstyle and music composition, I honestly don't think the story would've really got to me. It is thanks to the harmonious amalgamation of all of these elements coming together, to form such a captivating experience.

games cool raises questions about the ethics of ai and on its usage e.g. [spoiler] the trip to that inhabitable planet where you are the commanding ai and have to choose whether or not u should sacrifice eva + whether or not to listen to the command to return to earth which would result in a multitude of casualties [/spoiler] also shows how people change under certain influences e.g. [spoiler] the girl having a huge personality change while being drunk [/spoiler] also written by presumably a slavic person which makes me wonder why this culture writes good vns so yeah games cool go and play it cause its free

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
