Act 2 is a colossal improvement, I felt the nuances of the writing start to reveal themselves and fill a lot of the questions that I had, forming a much better mold of the characters that give the cast a much-desired amount of independence from the first impressions and tropes that were established.
Albeit further proving (at least to me) the title is misleading, I felt much more attachment and relatability within not only Tab but the rest of the casts' viewpoints on the events of the game.
I feel somewhat vilified in seeing TMGIAB not only reach a Steam release but better establish its main plot threads and while I see the adherence to identifiable tropes as a bit of a constraint, it's great to see the game hasn't let it be a constraint when engaging me in the story.
While the twists are a bit...unexpected (I don't know whether I mean that as a positive), I still felt enthralled in the plot the game was following, and I'm excited to see where Act 3 heads next.
Obviously I'd be amiss to not mention Robin's jawbreaking vocal set piece and overall fantastic performance (get this mf a grammy), as well as the rest of the casts' improvements as they start to settle with the roles more (tay fern's still goated), along with the bettered sound design and art all around (respect to that 3d CG artist).
in other words
game got good
