Was my first GG game and now that I'm playing Strive instead, there are some things I miss from this one and some that are clear improvements

I really miss some of the charm and insane stuff chars can do in this game. Yeah Strive still gives you a lot of freedom and is a 'kinda loose' FG, but Rev2 just gives u many more tools to work with not to mention 25% meter instead of 50% just giving you constant RCs and Supers. Yeah I do prefer the way meter works in Strive, but it was a lot more flex and loose in Rev2. The insta-kills are also just. Incredible. I really wish that Strive kept at least the same level of animation and charm that those had with some of it's Supers. They don't need to instantly end the match no but at least y'know, same awesome animations would be awesome

The OST is easily my fav in the series, the guitars just pop off so damn hard in here

elphelt is awesome btw

Very stylish, even cinematic. The story is great and has a lot of well-built suspense and unexpected plot twists. Skill-wise the game is not easy, but also quite forgiving. You can often solve the room in different ways, and while you need to be quick and use your abilities, you also need to think a bit and plan. If you fail, the retries are quick and each segment is not too long, so many retries don't feel tedious. The game feels very well-made, with a lot of details. The only downside is that it's very linear, there is zero exploration and although dialogue options influence interactions and the plot a bit, you are forced to choose them quickly, so it still feels like you're locked on the rails. Overall an awesome game that leaves a very strong memorable impression!
