|
|
|
- the aesthetic supports this - music, aesthetics, _general_ tone of the day to day
|
|
|
|
|
- the veil is only lifted occasionally
|
|
|
|
|
- the game actively makes you forget the terror of the world that comes and goes
|
|
|
|
|
- sam's weird alter ego makes two appearances in the first three chapters and then disappears for ages
|
|
|
|
|
- overall the story is a bit disjointed and changes feel a _lot_

- gameplay
|
|
|
|
|
- combat
|
|
|
|
|
- game punishes you for just wailing on enemies,
|
|
|
|
|
- swing cooldown makes it hard to move after swinging
|
|
|
|
|
- story scenes
|
|
|
|
|
- why i kept coming back
|
|
|
|
|
- game can be a bit slow, but charm is high
|
|
|
|
|
- game is also not that intriguing to begin with , but i think thats because
|
|
|
|
|
of the aforementioned saccharine perspective shifting all the intrigue to the
|
|
|
|
|
background
|
|
|
|
|
- got put down a couple of times
|
|
|
|
|
- combat can be surprisingly challenging

- melancholic phrases from the tv
|
|
|
|
|
- "you've gotten stronger, but getting stronger isn't your goal, is it"
|
|
|
|
|
- mother reference but cool
