This game shot my dogs, I don't bark anymore. I lost my job and the accompanying livelihood. It took everything from me. Yet the ascetic lifestyle is only a reflection of the clear focus it has given me. It has given me everything. Kill your boss and ♥♥♥♥ the UN.

I have been curious about this game since it first came out like 15 years ago or so.

In fact I remember that I once owned the gamecube version of this game and i remember that I returned or sold it without ever finishing it.

Past me probably could not really word why I disliked it. But I can.

I remember that the art design has been touted as stylish and I agree when it comes to the character design and some of the scene compositions, but overall I feel that it borders on the lazy.

More important though is that the gameplay is a mess. There are a variety of issues, clunky controls, restrictive movement and a few others.

But center of it all is that it basically stops every few moments to deliver some inane dialogue.
You never get into a flow of gameplay. You seemingly are never allowed to progress and "get into it" so to speak, and I am pretty sure I was still in a place of the game BEFORE they added puzzles and made you search the environment for various things.

Point is that after 40 minutes I feel this game is style over substance and I stopped because the constant stop and go really got on my nerves.

one of the most memorable gaming experiences you'll ever have

i fw it heavy

its not good

Since ps2 one of the best games, but its the first time I get too far in it

I first played K7 when I was a kid on the ps2, the fact that I still had vivid memories of it should tell you the impact this game has on me. Replaying it now was such a pleasure. The unique art style allows it to stand out no matter how much time has passed since the game came out.

The gameplay is fun. Getting to switch between the Smiths to solve puzzles or just have a different playstyle is nice (tho I wish we could use Garcian more, he's my favorite Smith) every smith has an ability to aid you, some, honestly, more useful than others.

The story is confusing as hell but in a positive way. It's one of those games that I would love to have a 7 hour YouTube essay on, dissecting the universe and characters and their backstories. I was invested and as I usually do, I got a bit too invested in one of the secondary characters (Christopher Mills, my beloved) but that only made the story more impactful as it went on and, dare I say, it even got a bit emotional.

There are some anime cutscenes in here that are nicely made (I did not try it with the AI upscaling cuz it's terrible.) well animated, and fun to watch.

Just absolutely loved everything about this game from the start to finish and I'm hoping they release a complete edition.

Also Garcian Smith and Christopher Mills, I know what you are (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)(´ε｀ )♡
