Never mind the 'woke' agenda, you should all be criticising this game's cheap emotional manipulation, lack of meaningful choices, characters ignoring your decisions to head straight into the bad situations you know would've been easily avoided if the writers didn't decide to just say "no" at the choices you made as a player.
the racism in this game was really annoying. it made me think that every white character was just gonna end up being racist. i just its a political message and all, but it got super repetitive.
i'm just starting episode 5 right now. my main issues are that it's a really slow game and that the side characters have very little depth. i think karen is the only character that's really connected with me in any way.
also, it seems like the game likes to introduce issues without really saying anything about them? like the scene where you get beat up in the desert - the game essentially just says "these people are racist. this bad" without anything deeper. and the religious trauma bit. jacob has religious trauma, okay. is there anything more?
It's so much better than the ratings suggest. I was a bit reluctant to play it, but the story engaged me, and Cass is my biggest crush in a video game ever
