So..... I play to much of this game. Really enjoy the gameplay, a lot of story branch, you can do so much and the music is a banger. Overall really recommend this game, and if someone can recommend a game simmilar to this i'm really up for it.

Friends of RIngo was a cool little game that did not draw me in for longer than one playthrough. Fading Afternoon is completely different. A nihilistic mood with multiple cinematic storylines and relationships to build. Definitely feels like you're living a Kitano movie

Feb. 2024

This game is not only a true successor to the first Way of the Samurai game, which would already make it a must-play, but it also does something nearly unseen in video games: it's a game about winding down. It does so with incredible grace and confidence. Highest of recommendations.

Feb. 2024

Controls and combat are 10/10, but the only thing you really need to know about this game is that there is an entire button devoted to smoking a cigarette. 5% Shenmue, 5% Streets of Rage games, 10% Ron Gilbert games, 15% Yakuza games, 15% noir films 50% - = A E S T H E T I C V I B E S = - Great plot and dialogue. Organic, fresh gameplay. Tasty music that makes me think "Yakuza meets Pure Pwnage," which fits because much of the game is spent merely walking around...reppin'. This game is all about the experience, and self-reflection. Most videogames could have been a better movie or book, but Fading Afternoon is a game's game, the interactivity is intrinsic to the way the story unfolds, at all times.

This game is dope but their needs to be moves to help you dodge the sword or bottles. As for the guns, Why not get multiple mags? Why only one mag, Why forced cut scenes, why timed events, why? I missed a prisoner getting free, Lost track of time, taking public transit, and missed a mission to kill a foreman at a construction sight. Bro Please ADD A ICON AND A COUNT DOWN for timed missions and where they are. THIS ISNT LA NOIRE where I need my handy dandy notebook to jot down the clues. Personally bottles should do less damage. 30 damage is brutal.
