Quick thoughts on ch5
​
I enjoyed it immensely, but I just feel like having a few more main story beats would've made it feel a little more significant?
It feels like most of the mysteries are like a domino. Explain one, and the rest would be explained too. Doesn't change the fact that being a little more concrete with "the tragedy", maybe a less open-ended conclusion to the forgotten man storyline ,would've felt more satisfying too.
Pluses for me include; We got confirmation that ralsei knows a lot, dess disappeared due to a past dark world that is somewhat connected to a dark river of tears which formed the shadow crystals, and is made up of lost dreams(happy to hear this as an avid asrielknighter.)
The secret boss felt so out of place (despite being very fun, aside from that fuck-ass bomb attack).
Gameplay wise, it's top notch tho.
I'm a chapter 3 defender, so my ranking goes 4>3>2>5>1
