Ok...ok...Time for Blue's opinions. Its all pretty good this time...I swear...
Before spoiler territory, straight away I'm giving this chapter a 5/5 stars. Loved the new characters, new planet, choices, and character development in this chapter. I'm super excited for the future.
So first off, SPOILER TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED (Specially Damon's route)
First off, love the start of the chapter. Getting some time with our prince/princess and their feelings was needed. Then the convo with the characters, especially Damon, was needed and well done. I felt immensely better getting to snark at him a little. I'm also excited to start developing my Prince as an independent, and I will hold you to those gun lessons, Cal. xD
Then, Cursa. Love Cursa. Honestly, when I was thinking trash like planet of poor, gang ridden people aka hell in space...for some reason, I always imagined Cursa to be very desert like. I blame Star Wars for that. Seems all the poor, thuggish planets in SW tend to be a desert planet, so...was surprised it was a Storm Planet. But somehow, I actually really loved it and feel it even suited Damon to. Cursa feels like my favorite planet, surprisingly. You guys manage to put so much character and life into these short views of the planets in this world of yours.
Alisa. I adore her. Yes, female Damon 2.0...the improved update. Loved the chance to watch her scold and bully and affectionately torment Damon about his romance with my Prince on top of needing to be friendly with his friends. It felt like such a real friend/sibling sort of thing. So darn cute. I think the CG of Damon blushing while she's poking him might be my favorite CG of all time. She's officially Damon's big sis in my mind now. (even if they aren't blood relatives and may have dated) Can I have a shirt that says "Before you open your mouth next time, think 'Would Alisa Kick My Ass For This?'" xD Seriously, love Alisa.
Next, Vexx. Awe Vexx...you really do care deep down. But now I'm thinking you guys are trying to hint at some sort of technology like a chip or something that effects Vexx. What with all of Damon and Alisa's hmming over his personality weirdness. It sure would explain why one sec he cares, and the next he suddenly goes ape-shit psycho. I'm intrigued. *folds fingers in front of her face* Please continue. But fear not, Vexx, the Prince remains your friend and will find a way to help you. I swear it.
Vexx and Damon's reunion was also perfect. xD Stab-happy and Carrot head. I'm still stuck with the headcanon that their similar eyebrow scars come from each other. xD
Damon, lots of Damon. I felt all the convos with him were well done and needed after chapter 3. They felt perfectly in character still to both the Prince i'm building and to Damon, without subverting the drama that ch3 brought on. I also very much appreciated the return of the music box, though my prince was 100% ready to sell it. Darn you, Damon. You're hot when you're cold, you're yes when you're no, you're in and you're out, you're up and you're down... *sings to herself* xD
Finally, June. Poor June berry. (new nickname here) It was good to have that heart to heart. I really want to beat in the face of all those responsible...at least my Prince does. You are not a monster, June. Even if you might go HULK on us one day. Seriously, I'm glad we might get to blow some shit up in Orion next. I'm ready.
And that's all for my first playthrough of a Damon route (my canon storyline). Well done. Great character development, great new characters, excitement, and story. I give this chapter a 5/5 star and can't wait to play through a few more times for my other boys.
