Have you ever hated and loved a video game at the same time? Or, perhaps, have you ever had a complicated relationship with one? Maybe it’s a game that has many flaws, yet manages to deliver fantastic moments often enough to make you rethink your opinion of it as you play it; for me, that game is Chaos;Head Noah, part of the Science Adventure series! Let’s find out why!
I think how much you’ll enjoy Chaos;Head is defined by one question: “Do you need to like the main character”?
Because Takumi is an asshole, but his massive flaws are what makes him a very interesting and unique main character. And the game also does a fantastic job in getting the player into his paranoid mindset.
Yup, he pretty much is! But that also makes him immensely unusual, and sometimes unusual ends up being better.
