I still don’t know why people like this game. Sure the gameplay may be fun, but everything else about the game is screaming in your face “these are terrible people, you should hate them”
I never played it, but watched a playthrough. Tbh I didn’t even finish that cause I got to the elephant scene and noped the fuck out. Like who actually thinks this is good? In any capacity?
“oH tHe CoNtRoLs ArE gOoD fOr NoNgAmErS!” Tbh that’s not enough for me to think a game is GOTY. It needs to have a story that’s at least as well done as the gameplay. It’s why the Arkham games are S tier imo.

My partner and I spent the whole game going “these two better not stay together at the end, they’re horrible and that would be a terrible moral”
That was our thoughts too, they didn’t learn shit and that scene was viscerally uncomfortable.

I played it with a friend and we had the exact same thoughts.
The whole game felt fucked up. Like partaking in a business casual traumatization of their daughter by way of varied mini games.
Yeah and it was never addressed or really commented on?? The script for the game seems really poorly thought out.
Literally NO ONE talks about how shit the writing for the game is. No one.
The Ars Technica review was pretty open about it. But yeah I’ve never had a person who recommended it mention the plot.
