despite my lowish rating i actually really liked this, its just that despite being so brilliant and bizzare and unique, it suffers from the absolute worst fucking gameplay loop of all time, pure grind; this is 30 hours of pure grinding. linda absolutely isnt for everyone, its a non-linear jrpg with a complete mess of a plot that you really have to take as slow as possible to fully enjoy, but those are also the exact same reasons it works. the kind of game you hate with a visceral passion while youre experiencing it but look back on fondly i feel. glad its making its resurgence this year.
