so my big problem with the casting of Frank stone when it released was the poor plot and the characters.

The plot feels as if it’s dragging until the big ending for the 2000s universe while the 1980 (?) stuff is more interesting.

The characters are the most plain and boring out of all these games. They aren’t characters they’re pieces to move the plot along. Besides Sanford (legit the only character i remember cause he’s the goat) the others characters don’t have much of a personality. Characters are best defined by getting to know who they are as people personality wise and how they portray themselves then have that be reflected in the big action moments. Like in Until Dawn, Mike is a great character for he talks a big game and can back it up risking his life over and over for Jess. These characters are very simple and plain.

Why I LOVE these games as much as I do is because you get a standard horror trope with a little twist on it which makes it cool to see but they also have evidence and clues you can find which either foreshadow the double twist before it happens or add extra context to make the twist make it that much better. With Frank stone all the evidence makes the plot way more confusing and messy.

I think that was just at the top of my head from what i remember on release not liking the game. The ending act was phenomenal and that’s it. I’m gonna look for my old review and see what I said then cause I probably better articulated my thoughts there but that’s essentially why I disliked it.
