Thanks for this. The game seemed so interesting to me. The premise and concept. But the execution apparently stinks. Too bad. Pass!Finished Cibele, here my review:
David Cage would be proud.
A game about relationships so devoid of any believable human emotions or interactions, you'll make a ten times more emotional experience when asking a stranger where to find the next fastfoodchain.
A more superficial look at relationships is virtually impossible. You don't get to know the characters in any way outside of clicking on random .txt files on a fakedesktop telling you oh, this character likes Anime, FFX and the Matrix movies.
The dialogue consists to 50% only of "You're so cute", "No, i'm nat! [giggle]" and the story plays out in such a predictable and boring way, if you've ever been in an actual relationship or at least watched a movie about one, you'll know where it is going 2 minutes in. Furthermore, the way the game treats some of the more problematic aspects of the relationship it depicts - by that i mean the long distance - i would even consider it downright insulting to the people who are in a long distance relationship, as the game depicts this as an absolute non-issue.
"I want to see you"
"but we live so far apart"
"I'll just tell my mom i wanna visit my cousins and she'll buy me some flight tickets."
"ok"
And that is literally it.
But the worst thing is the pseudo-MMORPG gameplay.
It adds absolutely nothing. It's never picked up by the story outside of some sentence like "You da best gamer gurl", it never becomes a metaphor for their relationship like the puzzle segments in the game "Catherine" and it on itself is absolute shit to play as it only consists of clicking on an enemy one single time and waiting 30 seconds for it to die and repeating the process over and over again to fill a bar in the top right corner in order to trigger new dialogue between the characters. While doing so, it often goes down to 10FPS and seriously, not a single game in this world looking like this got any business to run at a worse framerate than Drakengard 3.
Overall i don't consider this game to be worth your time or your money unless you're in a very heavy emo phase and are currentling listening to Linkin Park and Bullets for my Valentine thinking "SO DEEP MAN NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME".
If you're really interested in a good videogame about relationships i'd suggest you to grab the aforementioned console game "Catherine" for 360 or PS3, as it does a very similar thing with quadrillion times better execution.

This one might look cute but managing your resources including time and efficiently extinguish fires takes some practice and the whole thing is pretty unique.
It's not upbeat like that. Lisa is still interesting but the battle system was so annoying I put it down.
It's also super unique and I enjoyed it. I would risk it =)

Went to the steam store, to see whether Far Cry 4 got a discount. Zip, nothing. Went to the online Ubisoft store... what do you know... -60% off. For the few souls out there like me who haven't played FC4 yet and hoped for a discount in the steam store
