Slowly getting really excited for this. Between the demo and now the scenes showing here, I’m starting to really dig the new visuals, and the voice work in the playable part was fantastic.

More Max! 🏳️‍🌈

    LiS2 is definitely their worst game yet. It was just plain not as interesting as the rest, and it’s the only LiS where your main character isn’t the one with the powers. Plus horrible things keep happening to them, so it’s just depressing.

    On the other hand, I really loved True Colors. I thought it was really damn nice, but unfortunately you can tell something went wrong, because it was painfully short. The entire game happens in a single tiny location, leaving you wishing for more, and it never arrived.

    Ultimately I’m more excited about Lost Records these days. Still hope Double Exposure ends up being good, but LiS as a series lost its soul over time

      Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

      I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

      True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

      I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully
