    Reminder that the original creators kinda don’t want you to pay for the game anymore, since all of the profits go to the shitty rights-holder. If you miss this claim, simply *redacted* the game.

        No game can ever satisfy everyone. But just because it wasn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s not one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didn’t enjoy clair obscur like I thought I would, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not an amazing game.

          Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.

          It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.

          Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.

        Same.

        The writing wastes a LOT of time. Yes, I get it, that’s the vibe they want to set, but the vibe was set like 5 minutes ago, and all you’ve done since is print synonyms for “drunk asshole.”

        It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all. People are so capitalist-brained, that any game which places communism and capitalism on equal footing, pointing out the faults in both and mocking them relentlessly, is somehow “pro-communist.” In particular, the games plot-relevant example of a die-hard communist is not someone to aspire to. Neither are the capitalists or fascists, but that’s kind of the point: it’s hard to say it supports any political viewpoint when it shits on everyone fairly equally.

        Honestly, I wanted and expected a lot more out of it. Particularly in the ending.

        Though it was absolutely worth the playthrough. It’s a fantastic game, just not this pinnacle of writing the way the internet plays it off to be.

          The writing wastes a LOT of time.

          The writing is the reason for playing the game. If that’s wasted time, maybe this kind of RPG isn’t your thing.

          It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all.

          100% dependant on your play style. If you go down Socialist Cop route, it’s pro communism. If you go down the Crypto Fascist route, the game is pro-racism.

          That’s why it is one of the best RPGs of all time; You have so much choice and agency that you get like 16 different versions of the same story, based entirely on what you choose to do, and those stories are written as well as any book.

    I own it on Steam. It supports the Mac on Steam. I wonder if Epic offers the Mac version. (Epic is at war with Apple over iPhone stuff. The Mac has always allowed their stuff, but they stopped supporting it as protest.) Claimed either way. Doesn’t hurt anything.
