So Iām noticing a lot of bash towards your direction of switching to a āthird-person omnipotentā style of playing, but I digress and defend this by stating that you still have to work for the content as you did in CCTV, and thatās even if you bought this version instead of the free version and didnāt resort to cheats to see more scenes.
Another thing I will add is that I particularly enjoyed the use of choice-based content that would modify the scenes as needed, and the fact that there were more characters to deal with instead of a couple or so. On top of that, I also enjoyed that your decisions to influence each character arenāt COMPLETELY cutting out content from others; you could focus solely on Sasha with Anatasia and not have to worry about Igor for example. The one thing I will criticize on this is that there wasnāt enough variety with each path for all the characters. It wouldāve been nice to see Sasha also be a second husband to Sandra as well instead of just simply being a babysitter for Sasha who would have intercourse with them.
For the next (and last game as youāve said in previous comments), here are some things I would suggest for it:
- Keep the mechanics from this game, but expand upon them to include a points system that also negatively effects the world around them as well. An example from this game would be when one chooses to divorce Maria and Igor, and Igor would have an envious or hateful attitude towards other characters in the game. I know this would ask for a lot, but it would make for an even better and more critical playthrough for more players.
- Add more characters for the last game. For this one there were two families to focus on, with one in the first CCTV, and the last should have more groups of people to influence. Now I donāt mean an endless amount, about maybe three or four groups of any number of people should be good enough for players to really focus on who they would like to prefer over the others.
- Make the setting and plot a little more mysterious but realistic, such as someone who is working for a criminal organization, a research testing facility or maybe government agency who is tasked with watching over a select few groups of people to experiment on them for some unethical reasons, such as behavioral research with substances, making a case for someoneās arrest, or just plain watching from some guyās setup at home with five monitors for his PC. The possibilities are limited, but they would serve as a good send-off for the trilogy.
Apologies if these sound a little demanding, no intention of that. Just wanted to give you my honest suggestions for the last game. Other than that, I give this game a 9.3/10!
