Data Collection

The game might be good, I do not know, and the reason is that after launching the game, the EULA pops up asking to concent in allowing data collection. This is important information that should be conveyed to the buyer/player before purchace. I personally do not want to allow any data to be collected, and so I have no option other than uninstalling the game and asking for a refund...

Data agreement

It is a pity that such a good game presents, at its first start, a data collection agreement that the user must accept in order to play. Normally for such agreements there is always an "opt out" selection. In this case, if you opt out, you CANNOT play (the game shut down immediately). Needless to say I immediately refunded the purchase.

Despite the EULA I like it

This game is absolutely fascinating and delves deep into character dynamics, it requires you study the history of your alternative selves and get them on board with your mission. Unreal engine graphics make is a feast for the eyes and without spoiling the story, I am extremely impressed with the implementation. Only gripe is that the EULA is invasive, Remove that and I'd have given it a 5 star review.

Not Profound--Pretentious.

Unpopular take incoming. tl;dr, it insists upon itself. Gameplay's alright, has everything I want. Engaging primary gameplay loop (exploration), compelling secondary loop (management) and driving tertiary loop (sunrise). Resembles both This War of Mine and XCom. Music was well done, even if I'm not a fan, I can't complain about characterisation like that--the alters were the ones listening to it. Graphics hit a sweet spot of 'realistic', but still stylised so it's not uncanny. As much as I'm sick of seeing magenta, its use made sense to paint Ally Corp. in a 'we care about PR first and foremost' kind of light. UI was alright, though very buggy, elements that should disappear (like the moodlets) didn't always. Subtitles frequently mispelled too. The writing killed it though. I can overlook melodrama, cringe, and a couple of the Alters being caricatures, all as matters of taste. What I can't overlook is the Telltale Games-esc false sense of 'Choices Matter' presented at the end of Act 2. In my playthough, I put the interests and needs of the Alters first, championing them to the company. In the moral decision in Act 2, I kept them in the loop and made sure they knew what was up. Now, I didn't expect everyone magically getting along just because I was the errand boy, I'm not precious about 'getting my way', but if I realise during gameplay none of my prior decisions factor into the outcome, the writer didn't stick the landing. With how hard the game yells at you for being a monster either way, it comes off mean spirited, like I'm being mocked for making the best of a no-win situation. Referencing philosophers by name should have been a red flag the game would be made to look clever at my expense. I like 11Bit, their prior games had morality as a skill issue: with grit, you could find a better way. How did they screw it up so hard here? P.S. I had Doctor and Psych, why was Scientist still doing the medical story beats? Conclusion: Angrily dropped after 20 hours. **Edited for typos
