Very boring game

I tried playing it several times several routes. But it's so boring, basically almost fell asleep while reading all of this... Less politics and blah blah and more action would be so much better. Espers and psy.. Come on, such themes could be a thriller and very moving stuff.. but nope, only a few scenes were interesting (when she actually fight with her abilities), other "plot" is very hard to read and not to take a nap doing so 😪😪😪

Judging from how many people have downvoted this post, I think that's just you 🤷‍♀️ Personally, I've played through all the released routes 2 times because I enjoyed them so much, so it's probably a matter of different taste.

Imagine playing a game specifically noted to include dystopian politics and societal change...and then whining about the game having politics. XD Going by the glowing reviews I think OP very much is in the minority here. I have almost 89 hours doing all the routes and this is hands-down one of my favorite VNs ever made. Maybe OP should stick to Fortnite or whatever other game fits her notion of 'exciting'.

I can understand the desire to jump in and blow stuff up, but that is not what this is. To be fair, there are quite a few explosions :) ;)

I think you just weren't in the right mood to play this game. There is a lot of dialogue, a glossary, and an entirely new world constructed and explained to the audience, as well as intricate relationships and social/political forces at play that occasionally require a careful hand to deal with.

What you are describing sounds like a FPS. I would recommend Risk of Rain 2. There is a learning curve, but it gets very fast paced and exciting the longer you survive. Remnant from the Ashes is also a great game with lots of enemies to find and fight. Both are co-op which is a plus.

My thoughts exactly! Extremely boring game!
