We've Had Enough Fun, Thanks.

Finally picked up and finished my replay of NEO: The World Ends with You from a couple of years ago!


( Notes on NEO: The World Ends with You. )

On a replay, I think my overall feelings on this game remain much the same. It tries to be a new story and a direct sequel simultaneously, with the result that it doesn't quite succeed in being either of those things; the returning characters ultimately just overshadow the new characters, and the two story threads distract from each other until they both end up feeling incomplete.

That said, I had a great time playing it! It's a very fun, playful, stylish game. I love how lively and entertaining the dialogue is, and Fret is a delight.

I'd love to see another World Ends with You game at some point. There's nothing else quite like this series.

Blood On Our Hands Either Way.

By popular demand, here's another entry on Metaphor: ReFantazio! (When I say 'popular demand', I mean that necrophilia told me to post this. It takes very little pressure to get me to talk about videogames.)

We're just about to leave Virga Island. No real plot spoilers below the cut, but you might want to avoid this entry if you don't want to know which characters have joined your party by this point.

I'm still absolutely loving this game. I hadn't even heard of it before the demo came out; it's been such a great surprise!
