ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goddddddddd.
I could write the length of 100 essays on how good this game is. And I'm not quite sure if that's an exaggeration.
the first game was life-altering to me. The game just stood out sooooo much. It was my favorite game of all time. It was soo gay. The characters are sooo good. The writing was soooooooooo good.
this. this improved upon perfection. The first game was magical to me because of the gay and nostalgic and funny and deeply relatable vibes. This game added onto that with much deeper and more nuanced looks at everybody's personalities. It really is a work of art.
and the ENDING OH MY GOD THE ENDING. OH GOD I PRACTICALLY CRIED.
Every theme in this hits so hard. Noelle straight up psychoanalyzed me in the first hour of the game, to an almost uncanny degree. All the themes about being your own person, embracing your quirks. The speech in the pre-credits ending. All of the themes around people affecting who you are. All the beautiful answers to questions we scream into the void.
It just all merged into one unbelievably powerful piece of work. It all just spoke to my soul. I'm not even Asian-American and yet this game spoke to me deeper than any other game I've ever played, by a long shot... absolutely well done. Thank you so much, Brianna. Standing ovation.
