This was hard to play, and even harder to write. My brother played this shortly before he passed and it was his favorite game. I was afraid to play, and having to confront the decisions you make and their consequences made this extremely hard to get through. But it has helped me understand both the main characters struggle but my struggle as well as well as my wishes to go back and 'change things'. Not many games can boast changing a players life, but this has certainly changed mine. Thank you for making this, and thank you for helping me process my own losses in life.

You won't find this type of game anywhere. It's unique and although some companies try, it's just not like this game. A piece of art. Personally, my Star Wars. Only thing to improve, lipsync, a thing dontnod really needs.

"This Action Will Have Consequences" I don't know where to begin... After finishing it like 3 times now there's simply no game that comes close to what this game has to offer in terms of choices matter. This game broke(Good type) the industry a decade ago (take note , this game was released in 2015) and that's coming from me, a Mass Effect fan. The most critically acclaimed game (going 1v1 The Witcher 3), changed my life in seeing/viewing life. There's so much emotion put in this game , you are literally invested in all the characters and everything is written so fucking good .Well done DONTNOD, you deserve every praise. From music to character development, this game has everything. Action and exploration need I say more...actually , yes there's , lot of sadness so be sure you are as dead as me inside(I finished it 3 times). It's really Joeover for the gaming industry isn't? WE ARE NOT SEEING GAMES LIKE THIS ANYMORE. The gaming industry has gone full fucking WOKE and CORPORATE GREED. Fortunate for us DONTNOD is still making games. I'm looking forward to what DONTNOD has to offer as they just released the trailer for their new LIS inspired game, called Lost Records. I will be continuing to support them. Please give this beautiful franchise a go, as not a lot people like this type of games. You will not regret it. Trust me. Also, you do not have to play the remastered versions as they only have better emotions a.k.a visuals and lighting, rather stick with the original as the nostalgia for coming back to it will be worth it ,but I'm aware that buying the remastered versions is a lot cheaper in some countries. Other than that, its really all up to you,but I'd stick to the original. 20/10 Bae over Bay, Always Shaka Brah.

I SWEAR TO GOD, I FREAKING CRIED LIKE A BABY! And it's a freaking ugly cries T_T I just love everything about this game. The story, the graphic, and the characters development especially.. Such a masterpiece. 10/10. Leaves u aching for days.
