no no no, the director didn't watch twin peaks .. they watched twin speak, like zach to york!

but okay that was a perfect game. like. made for me. so many twists & turns, a great story with no questions left at the end. absolutely amazing.

finally gave up trying to fix the pc port for over a year.. got it on switch & it still crashed. but, if you save a lot it's not too bad. just warning that every port is ass. & the controls are really bad.. i used the auto aim & shot everyone's butt until the final episodes .. no sensitivity changing in settings :(

this .. is a game. it's if silent hill downpour, homecoming, all the worst parts of resident evil og 1, 4, 5, 6 was produced by bethesda; clunk, bugs & glitches included.

i'm about halfway through the chapters, so i'll start with things i like:
- some boss designs
- some environments look really pretty & nice art direction
- story sounds interesting though i think i can probably guess what's gonna happen.
- can tell there's a lot of ideas.. don't know if they're executed correctly.
- unintentionally hilarious

now here's the things i don't like:
- limited stamina where if you don't pay attention, the dude will just freeze in place & pant.
- can't run if you're under a certain amount of health. can barely walk.
- hasn't been 'scary.' very of its time where the jumpscares are very predictable.
- very, very, very limited ammo, & you're limited to holding 8 shotgun bullets without upgrades.... teaches you you can sneak attack .. but about ~4 chapters in none of the enemies are able to be knifed
- seems like they want you to use the bow but why the fuck does the bow literally block your entire view while trying to aim.
- SO many insta-kills. no matter what health you are.
- horrible controls & non-intuitive boss fights. the dog made me want to rip my hair out. i still don't know what i was supposed to do.. was i supposed to hide in the grass because there was collision in the bushes.. was i supposed to stand in the middle & dodge it? because the dog would turn in circles & drift like a race car until it hit me.
- can't shoot while crouched
- tries to be an action-horror game but the combat sucks. cutscenes have you doing wild leon-kennedy-like moves but you can't roundhouse kick anyways
- don't really like games/media where they have 'mentally ill' or 'insane' characters almost infantilized
- i'm playing as a cop.

will update when i finish it ... someday ....

okay.. is hating on this game like a joke? like.. really?
if nights into dreams came out today would people hate it?
does everyone hate whimsy & magical games?

i don't really like platforming games but this was actually really fun & cute! it was soo comfy & charming! it felt like dreams but you're walking instead of looping in the air. the costumes were super fun to swap to & learn how to use them in levels! i haven't finished it but i just played 9 hours & got to the 9th level which was hard but fun!

i honestly watched so many videos when this game came out by huge youtubers shitting on it, i even got a recommended video from 3 weeks ago about it sucking. people comparing it to mario odyssey even though there's really nothing similar except they're platformers..

i will update my review when i finish it but i really enjoyed it!
