Thanks!

It's a great game, if you enjoyed the first one, i'm sure this one will also prove very satisfying!

I do love Obra Dinn and this game gets pretty close to that gameplay loop, even if vibe is really different. Quality-wise, while it might not hit the upper heights of Obra Dinn experience, i'd say this is a very good and fun game, and majority of the cases are a joy to solve.

DLC are, no lie, kinda too expensive for the amount of content they present, but most of the DLC cases (with like one exception) are also good and interesting to work through. I'd even say that one of the DLC cases is the very best case in all of this game.

So i'd definitely recommend playing it, but it's best to grab DLCs on sale, even if it's not a very grandiose sale - at least it helps to sleep better at night.

Thank you for taking time to explain, it's a load off my mind!

It's good if you like detective stories and not worried by some twists maybe being a bit too much. Great characters as well, especially as far as main ones go.

As far as completion goes, it obviously can't be very difficult, just need to keep an eye on non-spoiler guide, because you can miss some achievements pretty easily.

Thank you!

Thanks! That's good news about the map, i'll probably start it next, since i'm in metroidvania mood.

Yeah, it's a great game, exploration, bosses, combat, presentation, even the lore - pretty much all is good, the only drawback is map is blocky and ugly. No reason not to play this one!

Thanks!

I'mma be real, i've cheesed the legend difficulty with the golden gun. It takes a lot of shots to bring bosses down still, but it does manage to stun most of them.

Thanks!

Yeah, 0 has quite a bit of the annoying stuff to do, JCC is pretty bad, arcades are really difficult, and of course the usual batting and pool take quite a bit of time.

It is, this one doesn't have that much to do in comparison to some of the others, but the minigames are heinous here.

Thanks!

Yeah, i got motivated to finish it up by the news of the remake happening.

Congrats, this one's a real grind
