this game does things to your head
I knew a little about the game before playing, and I kind of knew it was the sort of game I would love, and also that I would have some issues with it. These are more personal preferences than real problems, and I can see how some people might even see them as positive points, so I haven't marked the game down for them. I knew I would love it because it is so heavily based on the Mother series, a game series I also love, and because it allows interaction with encounters in ways other than killing, something I always appreciate in games because I so often sympathise with the enemy to some extent and feel there would easily be a way to negotiate. I also love the JRPG genre, the use of art styles that don't rely on good graphics, and a strong, traditional game soundtrack. I wasn't interested either way in the claims of originality. This game reminds me a lot of Mother and Shin Megami Tensei, also Nier and Crusader of Centy. This doesn't matter. I like all these games. They do what they do well. If this game does similar things, good for it. I'm lousy at bullet hell games, so I was worried I would suck at it. It turns out I don't find the bullet-dodging in this game all that difficult. One thing that I wish this game wouldn't do so much, especially right near the end without warning, is screw with you so much in the specific ways that freak me out: things like distorting the music or graphics for scares, the game suddenly quitting out or trapping you without access to your normal savefiles... While the lack of fourth wall is well implemented most of the time, it also makes the game almost unplayably tense for me sometimes, because I can't trust a simple action like saving or loading not to cause pain. That said, it has beaten into me the ability to be a more pleasant gamer... I think... I became VERY emotionally invested in this game, but it did occasionally decide to beat me around the face with it, leaving me wondering what exactly the hell it wants me to do.
Hilft dir das weiter?
