My favorite out of all of them and i will probably be thinking about it for a very long time. It's a very sincere and heartbreaking love/coming of age story.

Its very hard to put into words but i feel very personally attached to this game and many elements seen in Childhood's End. Very specific bits and pieces that feel too real to me, past experiences, feelings, memories. I relate too much. This series is very much about leaving things to interpretation and these last two games did a number on my brain. Thanks etherane.

Also i dunno if the fact that theres no music on this one is intentional. I listened to melancholic game BGM while playing and also some songs from EP 1. It added a lot to the experience for me.

this game has some of the worst cutscenes i have ever seen in the medium. not even funny bad, just plain unwatchable. And the memory sequences are even worse. I wish they could just have opted for a visual novel style for the sort of plot that this game wants to have. The characters look cute i guess? but i dont think most of the outfits match the artstyle the game is trying to go for, and all the weapons look like poor cosplay props, all characters have the same animations and they all move around these gigantic swords like if they were made out of cardboard, the music is extremely forgettable but at least the HYDE songs are okay tho. i love L'arc en Ciel.

very sad that they are forcing this kind of game to be some sort of live service game with also a battle pass. way too many microtransaction stuff and the aesthetics are a huge stepdown from the previous game. I also dislike that the notes kinda do not match at all in normal and easy difficulties, in the current ingame event you can only play songs in easy mode and its a huge borefest, damn, the notes dont even make any sfx when you tap them which is kind of misleading or unintuitive, at least to my taste. At least it features music from Mili. Maybe will update this as i progress thru the story,
