Scarlet Nexus

Tales of Codeveinia

why are so many characters so vague when they talk to people and then get pissed off when they dont understand what they want? half the plot of this game is like

"you want chocolate or vanilla?"
"...thats classified information. you dont need to know."
"aight ill just give you vanilla cos i want chocolate"
"...that was incorrect."

I always thought games made by this company are samey, however, Scarlet Nexus is a huge step up.

Collecting all of the hideout presents, many of which are super thoughtful and have cute animations attached to them has been the most wholesome thing I've done in a game this year.

Someone tell Bandco they accidentally made a good anime style game. Deeply flawed but the combat is awesome and most of the flaws are hilarious in how batshit insane they are. An incredibly not boring game.

yuito talks to his platoon like he's writing a formal business email

might have the worst dialogue of any game ive ever played

yeah it's very fun but the very very long and boring and poorly written dialogue segments drag it down to just being good instead of great.
