Update: I have completed the game.
You know that feeling in your heart where you get really sad when you reach the ending, that music plays and knowing you have to say farewell? Yeah, I got the feels right now lol
The climax was genuinely amazing and anime as fuck. And to my surprise, there were several plot twists that made shout out WTF in a good way.
I can safely say that Rain Code is up there with Danganronpa.
Also, that massive tease at the very end, this game is 100% getting a sequel.
I'm so glad we are getting these games, I'm such a sucker for them. Now I need a Sequel to Rain Code, AI Somnuim Files 3 and Ace Attorney 7.
But yeah, it starts off really slow and weak but it gets better as you progress. It was an amazing journey to experience.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a mystery story with great characters and overall story.
I will say though, the main criticism I have are the usual Spike Chunsoft horny things they do, bad QTEs and I mean out of nowhere without warning or much time to react bad QTEs lol. Furthermore, the lip sync for the English dub is REALLY bad, like worse than Xenoblade 2. It can be really jarring.
And finally, the game is rather framey at times in handheld but it didn't bother too much since this is a adventure novel game.
Overall, I immensely enjoy my time with this game.
