(Part 2/2)
Characters and Dialog 3.8/5:
While I enjoy the dynamic between the 2 main characters of this game, their commentary can get repetitive quickly during world travel. Does not bother me as much as it seems to bother others but its noticeable. I'm told you can adjust it in the settings. In addition, the dialog between other characters feels off at times where Frey is, I feel, unnecessarily rude and spiteful. Now, I understand that Frey should behave that way given her past and current circumstances, however, she tends to be excessive then what I would constitute as acceptable. Last bit on Frey's dialog. I am a military veteran, and I am rather desensitized to an exorbitant amount of profanity, but Frey really likes the F word. Correct me if I got that wrong. Excluding the Tantas, majority of the characters are forgettable which, in this case, is not a bad thing as it focuses on Frey's journey getting back home, which I want to discuss.
Motivation/Drive ?/5:
I am a bit confused. While the story is good so far with many different elements at play, I am finding it hard to understand Frey's motivation to return to Earth. Given her past, Frey’s absolute goal to return to New York seems a bit far-fetched. She is walking on thin ice with the judicial system, caught in the middle criminal activity, no friends (except Homer I guess), no family, and her home was burned down with nothing and nobody to return to (except Homer I guess). Maybe more information will be presented further into the game that will change my opinion.
Conclusion: This will change but from what direction I see this game going, it will be at least a 4.8 out of 5. It really is an enjoyable time to play it.
4.7-5 / 5
- From Me
Didn’t want to make this a point but I have to now. I don’t care about your Origin, Race, Color, whatever. Just enjoy the story as it is presented and learn to live with it. And you know what? Not once have I seen in this game intentionally focus on the color of skin / gender of the characters. They introduce them as they are and that’s it. Alright, I’m done now.
