SPOLER!!!
Das Spiel hat mich wirklich positiv überrascht. Ich kannte natürlich den Plottwist das Aerith stirbt weil den kennt man halt einfach, aber das ganze mit Cloud ist so irre gewesen für mich. Storymäßig wirklich 10/10, für mich hat es aber einige Probleme, warscheinlich wegen dem Alter, deswegen ist es insgesamt "nur" ne 9/10 für mich. Ich denke mal die Übersetzung ist auch an einigen Stellen nicht gut gelungen, weil es so wirkt als wäre Cloud nen Klon von Sephiroth und nicht das er einfach nur die Stärke von ihm hat durch die Jenova Zellen, auch das ganze mit Zack und wie sich die Erinnerungen vermischt haben war weird. Das Spiel hat einem einfach basically gesagt das Cloud alle absichtlich gegaslighted hat, das er ja Soldier wär usw. Vielleicht bin ich aber auch einfach nur dumm. So hat es zumindest gewirkt lol

Amazing commentary on cancel culture
Lol, and lol.
You know, I really gotta give props to David Cage, he really is an innovator. Like how do you manage to make a game about discrimination/segregation/slavery with an allegory for civil rights so flawed, so stupid, that it double backs and ends up becoming offensive. Really impressive. Even still, if I'd completely ignore that and take this game at face value, there are so many issues with this that you could break it apart piece by piece (the melodramatic writing; David's usual misery porn; a "plot twist" so unnecessary that it ruins a whole character arc; the plot holes, holy shit, the amount of plot holes). Also, can we stop and think that this line was written, if not by an English white dude, by a French white man? Lmao.
As difficult as it is to talk positively about this I do have to mention a huge improvement over past Quantic Dreams games, and that's the presentation. Which I think it's also the main reason for the positive feedback Detroit has compared to their previous. Everything from the graphics, to the music, acting (specially Connor and Hank), and even the cinematic feel, is considerably better. I guess this would be Quantic Dream's closest attempt at making a game that feels like a movie, and it's really close to achieving it. Kind of disappointing that players find that enough to be tricked and ignore everything else about it that's a flaw, though.
Anyway, I'm currently dead sick so spending any effort in talking about this is exhausting enough... David Cage's best game so far.
★½ – Unplayable ❌

The game has had one massive rebalance patch which addressed most of the issues with the game so its definitely a better experience and easier to recommend. It still has a least one major patch which would address the rest of the flaws (too many upgrades not enough points, no quick turn, no controller rebinding) before it would be the best version of what its trying to be. Which is a very faithful sequel to the first game. Art direction feels like nintendo hire this man with store bought unreal assets. But overall i am glad this game exists and that i got to play it
post-ironic cliche tropes done right with some Yoko Taro influences (don't ask me why)
ultimate bedtime fairy tale with great characters and fantastic vibes living in a world of Akira Toriyama's artwork
- music is a letdown but you have an option to use the DQ VIII overworld theme so do that
- default overworld music theme is rage quit inducing EAR CANCER
- i'd recommend using "stronger monsters" draconian option because the default game is too easy in the beginning
- Act 2 was a drag but for a reason
- Act 3 is not a "post-game"
- Act 3 is what really makes this game special and unique, it IS essential to the story and actually pretty amazing and extremely satisfying
- this game is better than final fantasy VII remake
could have been better if not the ear cancer music and strange difficulty curve, but you know what?
I don't care

a good time with friends, not so much solo
Current rating entirely based on the single player. Interested to get the full experience with other people through private servers.

One time I stubbed my toe at a doorframe and screamed exactly like the werehog does when he dies
Playing this feels like doing brain surgery inside an active tumble dryer. You're a different person by the time the campaign is over. High recommend if you want something that will fry your neurons and then regenerate them into steel wool.

Has the opposite problem to DMC3 in that it's accommodating to the point of being toothless. Bayonetta proved 10 years prior that you can couple combo-crazy freedom with extremely deadly enemies!
