it's basically dead by daylight with lalaloopsies which is cool until you look at the english general channels and read the most insanely unfunny fetish copypasta known to man
i didn't bother with trying to get the multiple endings (if there are any: the treasure hunt one has multiple) because i just cannot strain my eyes at this game as a 19 year old but i was a very morbid kid and would've liked this, had i it
(is "had i it" even a real thing you can say in english? okay i just googled it and it's a real turn of phrase but it's downright shakespearean so i don't know. sorry this isn't related to the review)

i got it at release and really loved it, but now months later i just can't keep up with it unfortunately... i feel like it's a me thing more than anything else because i know people who have liked it and haven't pretty much dropped it
i just feel like it'd be better and i'd like it more if it wasn't a gacha game unfortunately. at least you can (re)play events after they've already passed, i appreciate that feature + it's slightly less grindy than genshin impact

this is the only game i can think of where you'll be playing a 4v5 for the majority of a match after someone disconnected during set-up but the rounds where you actually get timely backfill are the ones where someone left 30 seconds before the "defeat" screen plays
this game is just pretty designs with a story that desperately wants to exist but literally cannot after almost 10 years of built-up loose ends. how old is mercy supposed to be for example? why is kiriko roughly 20 years younger than the shimada brothers despite them having been raised together?
i will say though it is really, really fun. every single character is a completely different way of playing the game and you can easily sink thousands of hours into it before getting bored if you're willing to rotate your main
no comment on OW1 vs OW2 because i only got into it after it became free due to me being a cheapskate

i will never complain about having gotten a video game for free as an eight year old (it was a free download for those who don't remember) but even with that aside, it was fun to play and probably would've been fun to play in co-op had i friends
the intro cutscene was extremely memorable but that aside i just don't know what else to say that doesn't directly correlate to linebeck having been my favorite character
this iteration of zelda is one of my favorite zeldas (both in terms of her design as ghost zelda and also personality) and it really sucks that people just looked at this game at release and were like "lolwut train demon". please give it a chance if you're still hung up on the premise for whatever reason

this is very clearly hoyoverse's moneymaker for projects they care more about (like the honkai games)
not only that it's extremely time-consuming for very little reward. so many things you can only farm on specific days of the week or once a real life week with atrocious drop-rates. important lore for characters is revealed through limited-time events that you CANNOT replay, so you're either playing until you inevitably get burnt out... or you're missing information on units that you're supposed to care enough about in order to spend real-life money on to C6 and R5.
when it's good, it's pretty good, but you have to ask yourself "is this really that worth it when i can find more interesting stories and more compelling characters in different games".
tl;dr: if you haven't been playing since 2020-2021, then it's really really not worth getting into now if you don't plan on spending money

i played through all 3 endings in one sitting (on a virtualbox copy of windows XP with an .iso file) and ended up giving myself a headache from focusing on it too hard
2011
i bought my copy in 2013 and have sunk probably thousands of hours into it since then. i highly recommend checking out older versions of the game and/or modding it if you get bored
my only complaint is that i wish in-person minecon was still a thing but that has nothing to do with the game itself
