I don't LOVE snatcher, but it's RAD anyway. as a multimedia experience its compelling enough, but when this games vibes hit they really HIT. The music and pixel art are immaculate, and the world building is strangely playful and inventive a lot of the time. it can also be incessantly shallow and embarrassing in the ways you can probably expect. Ya it's basically blade runner with terminators, but its really interesting to see the sort of kojima moments and ideas here that would characterize his directing style, going all the way to death stranding.

The biggest problems I have pretty much have to do with it being a 1988 adventure game at its core, and the sensibilities that go along with that (I really hope the MC of policenauts isn't a complete letch holy shit). But I have to imagine that its not nearly as bad as some of the other similar games from that era? Maybe?
It's easy to hit a wall quite often, but if you hit your head against it for a couple minutes something will usually shake loose and move you along. The gameplay actually gave me strong phoenix write impressions in a lot of ways, not just in the aimlessness but asking the player to use non-objective reasoning to solve the puzzles. Using a guide will get you through a couple of obtuse puzzles and make it a pretty smooth 8 hours. But it's not necessary as long as you're comfortable with the game making you bumble around pretty often.
