So I just finished the game for the first time... and then replayed it.
And I have to say, I really like the premise of it. Being spiritually tethered to an entity who protects you and being able to play as both is actually really interesting and fresh to me. I like Jode, Aiden and Cole, Ryan not so much... (I chose the alone ending. My Jodie only needs Aiden lol)
That being said: I feel like the controls are way too extra (I mean, come on... That dash to the condenser in Black Sun was ridiculous... click your mouse and 4, 2, 3, 1, left shift, etc... UGH annoying... also cooking dinner in The Dinner was unnecessarily complicated) and the storytelling is really clunky. I had to go into chronological mode because I just couldn't track Jodie's character growth at all, and to be honest I wanted to get the boring child memories out of the way first. I had much more fun playing as Aiden than I did Jodie. So yeah. Great premise, just the execution was a bit messy to me. This is not a hate post. I really like the storyline and some of the characters, just the gameplay and storytelling were off to me. Thoughts? Am I the only one who was about driven crazy by the mechanics?
