As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.
I’m going to be the negative nancy on this one, because I had the same deal, super cheap price and I wanted something to play on my Steam Deck.
It LOOKS great. It PLAYS like shit. You navigate the world as a character who maybe got hit in the head too hard a few too many times. None of the dialog choices are good, they are all just varying degrees of “Stupid” to “Who hurt you?”
Some people get off on it, I couldn’t stand playing a character that fucking stupid. I asked around going “So… did I just roll the stats wrong? It’s not too late for me to re-start…”
No, it turns out, regardless of your stats, it really is just that badly written.
I don’t think the OP was really looking for a review of the game, and given the accolades it received for writing, calling the game “badly written” likely makes your review an outlier.
A lot of people apparently enjoy playing a brain damaged main character. I did not.
I’ve heard this as a sticking point for some people, and I think it’s fair. Some don’t enjoy putting themselves in the shoes of a complete fuckup main character who’s already made a ton of terrible decisions before the game’s even started and will continue to do so despite your best efforts.
But, worth noting this is part of the appeal for a lot of other folks, and the game is going somewhere really special with it. It’s not bad writing, it’s a necessary component of the story being told.
That guy’s a real Garte.
