A neat collection of short stories cumulating into a fantastic bad and good end. The game does a great job at getting you to care about characters within the 1-2 hours that most of these stories run for and each story manages to feel unique from the rest, each with it's own particular gimmick.
Ultimately, because you can pick any story at any time, the initial 7 stories have to be accessible enough to be anyone's first story and that means they never really get the depth they could have gotten. They feel more like a tutorial to learn the game for the finale where everything comes together and that's fine, but personally I would've liked a bit more.

Live A Live is a fine game, one that experiments well with it's ideas and I can see why it's highly regarded amongst those who played the original, it's just unfortunate that it never clicked with me on that kind of level
