The creator betrayed his creation
The first entries are solid games. Few bugs, unique world, lovely art style, building plot and character stakes throughout each game, interesting puzzles that don't get repetitive (and the few that aren't intuitive can just be looked up in walkthroughs; I got stumped maybe 3 or 4 times in the entire series). The last game (and the ending of the penultimate game) are an abandonment of the very essence of the game and its themes. The creative director chose a cheap cope out over honoring the nature of the lead character. Without spoiling the ending, just know that the protagonist is bottled chaos. It is in his nature to self-sabotage but its also his nature to fix his mistakes and to overcome all odds. His life would never be a resolved success or failure. The last game was a middle finger to everything they had built up. I suspect they felt cool and edgy when they chose the ending of the story but I was disappointed and frustrated at this cheap conclusion. It is a testament to the quality of the original idea and execution that it bothered me enough to warn others about the bad ending. If you don't get invested in the significance of a good story, if you are not bothered by inconsistent narrative, then don't worry about this reveiw. The game would easily be 4.5/5 stars in that case.
