I'm kind of sick of these episodic type games to be honest.

 

I kind of agree, but I think it helps them too because they can know our reaction to certain characters and so on.

 

 

This is true, I just find that it's a rather annoying gimmick at this point. It's like Fandango :hqhq:

I think episodic games is a good thing. Sometimes people need a break from the typical platformer/action title/RPG. Today some gamers would whether have their thoughts provoked, and hearts tugged at with games that makes them pay for the choices they make. Unless we're just talking about the process of releasing different parts of a game at a set timeframe, then I can understand. But still, you could just ignore the monthly or bi-monthly releases and buy them in full when it's available, so it's kind of the same.

Just finished the second episode and this game has really captured my heart. Great storytelling, solid mechanics and apparently choices really do affect a lot of stuff.

 

One thing I really liked about this game so far is that the characters aren't just black and white and that's something you don't see very often in videogames.

 

So far this game must be up there in terms of most underrated this year, in my opinion.

Characters a bit archetype cringy sometimes but I love it so far.

 

'Hella'

 

Yeah this game is very underrated. Found out a few weeks ago this game is MoCapped. The dialogue in episode 1 was a bit cringe worthy but its gotten better. Hate it comes out like every other month

 

Yeah, dialog is a bit cringy at times, but it also seems natural, imo.

 

One thing I find really odd about this game is lip synching. Is it not originally in english?
