Decent game in absolute terms, and has high points and unique things to offer (love the snowy design), but leaves a disappointing aftertaste - it feels more like a side story, making it a lukewarm conclusion to the series, and it's just the weakest entry in its own right.
Uri's clear talent for writing and game design just doesn't quite deliver on the level of the previous games in the series. It's not that anything was particularly bad - it just felt like a shallow execution of its ideas. Everything in the writing could have been developed further to just have more of everything while also being more cohesive, giving this game more of a distinct identity, and tying together the series better. All without necessarily increasing the playtime, even.
Audio has major control issues and limitations, which is not new at this point but is especially painful in this game - barely audible music by default, while the voice volume is fixed and can only be partially disabled.
Make sure to see both Good End 1 and 2 for the full experience.
