Both 5 stars and 1 star, depends on you
Only you know if you'll like this game. This is either an amazing experience or what could've been an awesome game let down by awful gameplay. This is your typical wacky Japanese game, hence its popularity. 'Big-lipped alligator moments' galore, the music is cheesy and everyone's a nutjob with unspectacular names like 'Brian'. You may have heard that this game is a 'so bad it's good' thing, but for me this concept doesn't work with games. Bad movies are an hour or two and doesn't need your undivided attention, but this is 20+ hours long, VEEEEEERY slow-paced and requires your input. This IS a horror game at times. The horror sections are legitimately creepy at first, and provide a huge to the nutty 'real world' parts. Unfortunately, the gameplay turns these sections as boring and a chore as the rest. It's hard to tell whether the gameplay and cutscenes are intentionally bad or dumb, or if they saw the wackiness as an excuse to put out what unfortunately is a bad game and say that the game being bad is the big punchline. The cutscenes and goofiness are the only parts I stuck around for, at which point I realised I should just watch the cutscenes on YouTube and stopped playing halfway through. I realised I was just running past all the monsters and skipping journeys and time, so what was the point in me playing?
Is this helpful to you?
