If this were the very last story that was being written in this universe, i would've liked it far less because it would feel to Mass Effect 3ish but as the ending showed, that might not be the case so hopes up and all that.Does this game have it's flaws? yes, absolutely. But should you still buy it in spite of that? yes, definetly.. This was an incredible story. I have read these all the way from the beginning, and I'm thrilled to have finished them. I can't wait to see how this connects to the Versus series. I'm most definitely going to be reading every single title that comes from this author. The characters and the story were just brilliant. I do have a few questions that were left unanswered, but I hope that they'll come to a close in the Versus series. I am more than happy to give this a 10/10. And yes, you should read them all.. As someone who played and loved the first trilogy a few years back, I really wanted to see how it'd end. TL;DR: I'd only buy this if you've played all previous games and really want to know what happens next to every single side character. Otherwise, just play the original trilogy again.Pro's:- Characters from the original trilogyIt's great to meet old characters again, and play as your old MC, even though it's not the focus of this story, and doesn't last too long- The action is fast and the writing style is quick as always- Choices have clear consequences and are well explainedSome COG have you pick choices that seem arbitrary at the time, but turn out to affect the story in a way you didn't intend at all. This saga never had that problem, as far as I remember, and still doesn't.Cons:The biggest problem in this story, narratively, comes from it trying to do two things at once. 1) Be the finale of the series, with a huge, world-threatening villain, many returning characters, sacrifices, twists and turns, all that good stuff. 2) Be a social commentary using superpowers as marginalized groups in which you play a young civil rights activist, in a unique position of influence.Because of this juggling of stories, the following flaws creep in:- PreachyWhen a bi feminist with a tumblr account tells you a story feels preachy, it probably is. Almost every instance of oppression is told to the reader, not experienced by the MC in anything but a throwaway reference to the past. That makes it hard to really care about her cause.Furthermore, the first trilogy started out as a cartoony world with wacky, diabolical, theatrical villains with personal vendettas against heroes, and family feuds. And in the end, some allegories to oppressed groups, like any proper superhero world, although those don't really fit perfectly with existing marginalized groups. That's fine. But when this game suddenly decides to really go in-depth to cover such nuanced topics as intersectional oppression, the previous one-note villains and characters fall flat on their faces. This extends to the main character. Unless you're very familiar with oppression yourself, it's hard to really connect to their plight. This is made even harder because they only care about two things: JK and the Cause. But the Cause is the most important thing, since it'll influence most of your choices. If MC would've had a flavor hobby, something not very thematically relevant but rounding her as a person to root for, that would've gone a long way for me.- RushedThe Hero Project is finished rather quickly, even though it was the entirety of the last game, without any influence of the player on how it ends or who goes through, as far as I can tell. It certainly doesn't feel that way, and in COG games, how your choices feel overrides how they actually are. Here's how quickly it felt to me the plot-points followed each other: The story needs you to experience Magnuspiral, so no matter whether you chose to stay there or dont, you end up there anyway. Then they tell you all the politics going on in it, even though you're not involved directly, for hand-wavy reasons. Before you do anything with that information, there's a conspiracy to solve, from the previous game. Oh no, big bad world-ending threat with environmental messages! (I thought this was about oppression?) Ah, the world is saved. Oh, right, what to do about that one city you spent 2 months in? The end. - Info-dumpingYou know how in most COG games, if there's a lot of exposition that the author made if you want to delve deeper into the world, but that isn't vital to the story, they'll put it behind a list of choices like -'tell me about [..]' -'tell me about [..]' etc etc with -'Nevermind get on with the story' at the bottom? Yeah. This doesn't have that. I really didn't need to know about the result of the lawsuit against that one nameless character who threw that one missile that one fight. I just wanted to know about the cool new powers i got after the infinitum fight, what i looked like, how they worked... but that wasn't in there. In the end, both stories could've been interesting, but right now they're a mess of conflicting ideologies and themes. I'd only buy this if you've played all previous games and really want to know what happens next to every single side character. Otherwise, just play the original trilogy again.. A real improvement over the last one. I think these games are a lot stronger when they aren't as focused on the silly reality tv show. Some elements feel a little rushed. The main villain didn't have much build up and I would have like more details on Magnuspiral. But ultimately it's a fun game and I want to see where it will go next.. Now, I see a lot of reviews criticising this for A: overfocusing on side characters, and B: having an over the top plot. And I'm afraid you're missing the point of Golden Age of Comics inspired stuff- they like their rosters, they like their plots to be as high up the stakes as possible, and this does so with aplomb. As a swan song to the whole series, it keeps the momentum, it keeps the feeling that your decisions matter. You get unprecedented freedom in this game, and everything you've done across the whole series as both your characters finally comes home to roost. Were you a hard enough hero? Did you do your best? Only one way to find out. . . play this game. Highly recommended, as are all four others.. TL;DR "Where is the mixed review option?"I enjoyed the battles and relationships\/friendships, and possibly due to the nature of some of the characters in this one and the ending; would very much enjoy seeing these characters become big members of Versus.However, because of the initial introduction of all of these new characters, groups and different powers did feel very jarring and disconnected, as well as all of the new political or anti-political agendas that almost seem to force additional choices and consquences in just to increase the story\/game that little bit further.Current feelings after my first playthrough are very mixed. Maybe, after another playthrough or two I will come to enjoy this final "book" of The Hero series after getting used to what I found to be jarring on the first playthrough, or maybe I won't, it's hard to say at this point.. Buy this game, Chickens!
