A truly admirable commitment to the bit!

why all the stealth missions

These games are Very Good, yes. I get it. The writing and the art and the Vibes and all. But there's not much TO them, and I don't know if that's just because we've moved forward in the last ten years, but you're very much going through the motions here, and I'm a person who likes to puzzle things out.

Sporadically great, unsettling, intriguing stuff, but I played this game through several times over the course a couple of hours while searching for all the endings only to find out I'd got the platinum trophy two endings ago, you know? It felt like there's more to this that I haven't uncovered, and it was disappointing to find that in fact I had.

It wasn't until the second area that everything "clicked," but I loved this game so much. Every mission is a little bit different. It doesn't outstay its welcome. Watching this lady tumble gracelessly through the air never gets old. Five stars forever.

Everything's kind of simplistic (the combat in particular is undercooked and even on Easy Mode it's really hard, just because of how the systems work) but, man, the way this world clockworks out of the ground when you solve a puzzle is so crunchy and satisfying.

The opening was interesting, but what came next was not, and it asked a lot of me, and so it has been put down.

I love the crow, he is my friend

FIVE STARS for chapters one through four, and then the rating takes a nosedive in five and six. You know why.

Into the Breach, you beautiful bastard, you got me through jury duty in 2019

Safe Mode is the way to go here, I think. The combat and stealth add nothing to what is a brilliant existential horror walking sim.

Great to move around! A really compelling story!

Not interesting enough to slog through the combat sections!
