What players say
This game will stick in your brain no matter what you think about it, I beat it this January and I'm still trying to think about how I feel about this game. With that being said I had a great time when I was playing the game.
its sureal, it has a good turn baced combat system, it has a facinating anti-rolemodle type mane character playing the role of narrorator, it tells a reletively symple story in an absract way expecting you to follow simbolism and figure out whats going on yourself. its niche its weird and i like that about it
playing this game with a pure heart and no preconceived bias against it from negative reviews is highly recommended. amazing battle system overhaul, as someone who never played the old one but is playing it in NG++. jesus christ it sure was something. god praise be the dark game. 60+ hours on this game and i still haven't seen everything it has. somehow one of the most psychologically mind numbing yet beautiful...
