Really really excellent core gameplay loop but just completely dogshit writing.

much more sloppily put together than the first game on every level.

"Like Resident Evil 4 With Rape Jokes" - canas

more like a series of horror vignettes than an actual horror game. kinda meh

the best one in terms of atmosphere and cast dynamic, but a bit simple thematically and some parts have really not aged well

great fun, an excellent take on the rhythm game genre from the developers who brought you a dance of ice and fire

a lovely, touching little story. spaceyuri.exe indeed

way better than 999 right up until the end, when it takes a huge dive and becomes complete nonsense.

the end of the demo is legit my favorite moment in this or the full game

very very emotionally resonant, unfortunately in spite of the gameplay part of the experience. like 70% pointless busywork and fetch stuff, especially in the latter half, 20% really inane character stuff, and 10% heartbreakingly poignant character stuff

2017

wow I really like these immersive sim things. how come nobody ever told me about this

probably my favorite of the main trilogy, with the highest highs and the lowest lows

a computer virus for your brain
