so much fun !! i accidentally skipped the original re4’s separate ways.. so this was all new to me. it was so fun to see where ada was during leon’s adventure. i’ve played all other mainline re games & i wasn’t really a fan of ada.. but after this i’ve come to respect her! she really fucked shit up behind the scenes.
the boss fights were very awesome, albeit felt a lot easier than most of leon’s- except near the end. guess that means i’ve gotta do a professional run :)
also wesker in mercenaries is SOO cool!!

I love this game but I hate this game, I hate this game but I love this game. This game is quite a specimen, it's unfinished, it's padded out and almost all of these things were out of the developers' control, yet despite all that they managed to REALLY polish what did ended up being finished, performance, gameplay, FOX Engine's insane identical look and performance among 7th and 8th gen platforms. I assume they also focused on ending and beginning first and hence we could have a conclusion at all, who knows. Regardless this game felt like a lot of nothing to me at first as I'm not a big fan of non-city open world settings but everything I saw and heard over the years helped, it also helped to play Peace Walker first this time. There is so much in this game that is beautiful, that is powerful, this game despite all its flaws is one of those that proves games are art in my honest opinion. "You're all diamonds" and Quiet are a few things of note I'll say without spoilers as how powerful this game was to me.

Si bien no inventa la rueda en absoluto en el ámbito jugable, estéticamente y en cuanto a lo informativo que es sobre la cultura y las tradiciones japonesas me ha parecido una experiencia muy satisfactoria.
Es un open world muy sencillito hasta arriba de coleccionables (algunos de ellos muy interesantes y otros que puedes ignorar por completo sin problema) con una historia muy sencilla y una jugabilidad bastante simple e incluso quizá algo repetitiva, pero lo compensa todo con una identidad visual muy marcada y un trabajo de animación excelente.
Es curioso ver un juego tan enfocado a cosas místicas y tétricas que no apuesta por el horror puro sino por algo mucho más activo y dinámico y, si bien podría haber tenido más profundidad jugable, tampoco creo que se quede corto.
No es una experiencia para todo el mundo, pero yo aprecio mucho que existan cosas así.

Although it doesn't invent the wheel at all gameplay-wise, aesthetically and in terms of how informative it is about Japanese culture and tradition, I thought it was quite a satisfying experience.
It's a very simple open world game, filled to the brim with collectables (some of them very interesting and some you can very easily ignore) with a simple story and simple gameplay that can even be a bit repetitive, but it overcomes that thanks to a very unique visual identity and excellent animation work.
It's interesting to see a game so focused on mystic and creepy stuff not go full horror and instead try to do something more active and dynamic and, even if it could have been a bit deeper, I don't think it's lacking either.
It's not an experience for everyone, but I really appreciate that things like this exist.

Es muy valiente por parte de Naughty Dog dedicar la mitad de un juego a convencerte de que su protagonista es basura y de que su antagonista, además de basura, también es persona. Me parece una jugada arriesgada y que funciona sorprendentemente bien al hacerte vivir de primera mano las dos perspectivas.
Jugablemente es un avance significativo respecto al primero: todo está más pulido, es más agradable y mucho más dinámico y satisfactorio. Lo cual tiene la parte negativa de que la violencia de este juego es TAN divertida que choca con el mensaje de "la violencia no lleva a nada" que quiere dar el juego.
Es una historia de personas horribles tomando decisiones horribles y arruinando su vida y las de todos los que les rodean por no pararse un par de minutos a pensar en lo imbéciles que están siendo. Y entiendo que produzca rechazo, pero a mí me ha resultado bastante interesante.
Es un muy buen juego y la única pega que le puedo poner es que quizá es demasiado largo y que su jugabilidad no casa del todo bien con el mensaje que quiere dar. Por lo demás, me quito el sombrero.
De algo ha tenido que servir el crunch de Naughty Dog, ¿no?

It's really brave on Naughty Dog's part to dedicate half a game to convince you its star is trash and its antagonist, besides being trash, is also a person. I think it's a risky gamble and it works surprisingly well by making you live both perspectives firsthand.
Gameplay-wise it's a massive improvement over the first one: everything's more polished, nicer and much more dynamic and satisfying. Which has the drawback that violence in this game is SO fun it clashes with the "violence doesn't fix anything" the game is trying to push.
It's a story about awful people making awful choices and ruining their and everyone else's lives just because they couldn't stop to think about how dumb they were being. And I understand some people may dislike that, but I found it quite interesting.
It's a great game and the only thing I can complain about is it's maybe a bit too long and its gameplay doesn't quite fit with its message. Other than that, hats off.
All the crunch at Naughty Dog had to have been for something, right?

Walking simulator ultra mediocre que empieza con unos diálogos chulísimos y acaba por no contar nada.

Juego difícil de calificar. Annapurna siempre publica juegos interesantes en alguno de sus apartados, pero creo que este es de los peores que he probado de la publisher.
Es un juego que tiene buen ritmo, no llega a hacerse pesado porque apenas dura tres horas y a lo largo de las mismas llena la atención del jugador. Por otro lado, la historia es básicamente una fumada pseudoartística sobre la sombra que proyecta en una persona las expectativas que le rodean, pero muy mal llevada. Los minijuegos rítmicos son bastante entretenidos pero escasos.
En general, me ha parecido bastante decepcionante. Aunque no niego que puesto de ketamina me podría haber parecido mejor.

Una preciosidad de principio a fin. Quizá se le pueden achacar algunos problemas de ritmo cerca del final, pero más allá de eso me ha gustado todo muchísimo.

Life is not dattebayo.....
A beautiful game about death, and helping the friends around you live out there last moments, along with a gorgeous sound track to go with. A game I would recommend to anyone, especially those who are struggling from loss as it paints a beautiful image of death and brings peace to those finally moments.
A delightful game, that deservers far more attention and that I will never emotionally recover from

Cómo han acabado actores famosos aquí. Pesado, historia mediocre y desaprovechado totalmente el potencial de la idea.

Demasiado complejo para mí, pero jugarlo con guía me ha servido para apreciar la historia, que está muy bien hilada y tiene giritos interesantes.
El principal problema que tiene es que es muy poco intuitivo y muchos de los pasos que tienes que dar para avanzar son demasiado complicados como para tener que aguantar repetir lo mismo una y otra vez.
De haberlo jugado sin guía probablemente acabaría muy frustrado porque tengo muy poca paciencia, pero imagino que será muy satisfactorio para la gente a la que le guste desenmarañar estas cosas.
En general eso, buena historia, concepto muy original y bien ejecutado en su mayoría, pero hay algunas partes que son verdaderamente demenciales si no tienes ayuda externa y quizá eso es algo que debería mirarse un poco mejor.

Too complicated for me, but playing it following a guide helped me enjoy the story, which is very well threaded and has some interesting twists.
The main issue it has is it's not very intuitive and many of the steps you have to take to move forward are overly complicated on top of the fact you have to go to a loop over and over again.
If I'd played it without a guide I'd probably have ended up very frustrated because I have no patience, but I assume it'll be very satisfying for people who enjoy untangling this kind of stuff.
So, overall, good story, very unique concept and mostly well executed, but some parts of it are insane if you have no external help and maybe that's something they should have looked at a bit more.
