Really enjoyable first playthrough

[DiZpel]

I enjoyed one full playthrough of this game. It has its (really) annoying flaws but it was good overall.

The game kept trying tried to lead me and play with my emotions but I have a logical mind and oftentimes I made the wrong choices because of the way the options were presented in the game. For example, in one chapter where you were given a choice whether to "kill" an android as a trade to get some information, there was simply no logic in going with either of the choices given by that guy. Yet the game forced upon me that I was "emotional" when I "spared" the android and that was a bit cringy. Anyway, that sort of stuff is OK, just a bit annoying. It's a casual game after all where you are supposed to just be lead through the story.

Character movement is a bit annoying when the character cannot move while I'm moving the controller sticks around. Especially happens when hitting a wall, corner or something and you get "stuck" until you release all control and then try again. But that's OK too.

The forced camera angles that keep showing you everything except for what you want to look at is certainly also one of the more annoying features. It's the style of the game but I had to take a few deep breaths before moving on.

When the game forces you make a limited number choices in one go to force you to replay the game, it's annoying but understandable. It's OK.

Now since you have facilitated so much for replayability, I was excited to complete everything 100%.

The problem is how incredibly boring it is to go though all of the same dialogues and cutscenes over and over again with no option to skip or speed up anything. After replaying only the 2nd checkpoint of the first chapter about 5 times, I have given up on replaying the entire game. That's really a shame given that you have spent effort on making the game replayable.

That's the only thing I feel is really bad and unforgivable. These features are greatly contradicting one another and it kills any motivation to play through the game more than once in my opinion.

Otherwise I enjoyed the game a lot during the first playthrough. Thank you for this experience!

I support your request for skipping cutscenes after first playthrough. There is so much more to explore, but its spoiled. I played all four Options at Kamski Chapter its a very short one but have major impact, it should had taken 5 Minutes. But 4 Options = half an hour.

I think this game is as inspired as Quantic Dream's other titles. I have had a terrific time with multiple playthroughs trying to get the best outcomes. My only dissapointment is that Chloe is no longer there to greet me at the main menu screen. Figures, I can't even keep a digitally generated artificial woman around...
