@nodima: Completely agree for the mobsters - as I said, they are tropey and as a result, unrealistic characters. I think you're harsh on Giovanni/Astrid given I sadly know a couple who are very much like this and it can be painful to watch.

Anyway, they didn't take away from the emotional journey of the rest of the cast for me, I guess I just kind of ignored them as they could be frustrating to deal with as you said. The writing of characters like Alice and Stanley was so good in comparison, they completely broke me in how much they captured the devastating loss from dementia for those around the person and the pain of a terminally ill child.

A real shame how some parts can ruin a game's feel, I've had it happen to me too and when you see the game's 'gears' the magic can be lost for good. The game definitely needed some tweaking on the resource side.

Well there's a vast difference between something that is badly written in terms of being problematic, which I was interested in, and your comparing of the writing to stereotypes. I don't really see where you are coming from, the closet I could think of is that you are complaining about the use of tropes, which seems a little silly as all stories must use some kind of shorthand for brevity of storytelling. Everyone entitled to their opinion, so enjoy your naked mech simulator ;)

My fans spin like crazy when folding so I tend to do it when I'm not in my office working for sanity reasons! Plus leccy is cheaper overnight 😀

Wow, that entire interview is worth listening to from the beginning. His whole experience of being on that plane had me utterly transfixed.

Its very much not worth more than 3/5 because its teething issues and difficulty spikes are severely unpalatable for a game that at first seemed like a pleasant (if horrifying) puzzle platformer. I wouldn't recommend you complete it, its ending is thoroughly unsatisfying and the latter sections of the game have a parade of soulsbourne-difficulty bosses (literally one after the other) that take hours upon hours to defeat on the normal difficulty setting. The game definitely suffers as well from having 'too much plot' being expanded on by: environmental storytelling, the VO, the people you can take over, terminals. It really needed an editor to trim it all.

Not even entirely sure why I bought or found this game given the lack of coverage, but going through my backlog given the current times I am absolutely loving it. Takes a little while to get into but the humour is spot-on and worth putting up with the odd graphics!

I suppose I only found out about it due to a serendipitous tweet, but this game is a joy for anyone into rhythm games, EDM or even bullet hell (although its very forgiving on that front). Definitely worth a quick look or UPF due to its co-op/party modes.

Still listening to the soundtrack months later, love it!

He's at fault because he posted on a public forum!11 etc etc

I don't even know why I waded this deep into this thread, what was I expecting.

Don't get the artist confused with the art, we're all guilty of doing that and sometimes its almost impossible (read - JonTron)

I think the game you are looking for doesn't star the characters of the ages that are in this one. Have you ever watched a piece of media starring teen characters that aren't edgy or pretentious cynical shitbags?

You can't complain about someone tweeting too much when you choose to follow everyone on it!
