okay, i didn't play this game myself, but i DID watch someone else play this game for 5 hours straight, and honestly, i think that's just as bad as playing the game yourself.

to start, from what i saw, the combat in this game is absolute dog shit. it's basically just kick and punch simulator. there is no fun to it. in fact, it seemed like it could get so bad in certain areas and some bosses were nearly unbeatable. can't say much on gameplay bc i didn't play it, but i can assure that it was probably awful.

now, the fucking cutscenes. the CUTSCENES. the gimmick in this game is that there is no sound because the protagonist is deaf, which would be fine, if the game wasn't like 90% cut scenes. there aren't even subtitles. it's just... sit around and watch some insane 3d play out without knowing anything about what is going on. i was basically guessing with the person on what was happening. eventually, it became at least slightly clear, but if you need to guess what is happening in a game, it's probably not that good.

the story that we guessed wasn't even that good to begin with. so basically his mom died in a gun accident, he got mad, and he met a girl who looked like his mom and he's... romantically involved with her. which is sort of disgusting. this "story" isn't even that intriguing. it's super basic, and when some random ass supernatural elements get thrown in, it just makes zero sense. this is obviously an attempt at "interpret it in your own way" but they failed at it miserably. i've experienced many up to interpretation stories before, and this one had no idea how to make that kind of story good. at all.

i really don't wanna talk about this. this wasn't even a "so bad it's funny" game. it was just fucking awful. even simply watching it was painful and i just wanted it to fucking stop so i could go play p5r.

please don't play this. spare yourself.
