'AIGHT PEOPLE, BUCKLE UP BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO WRITE A SPOILER-FULL DETAILED REVIEW ON THIS ONE

I've been saving up for this game for a long time and honestly, even if there are some bugs and visual glitches, I still absolutely love it.
Cons first:
Once in a while the screen will shift to the side so much that another window of other scene appears (and the scene is also iteractable), tho I heard that this will be fixed in future updates. The default movements of characters while not walking are a bit choppy, but I guess that could be the style of the game.
And that's it, I didn't notice any other bugs, probably because I was too busy admiring the artwork.

And now, a novel-lenght appreciation part of the game
First of all, ARTWORK. Man, the backgrounds, the animations, y e s. I would spend like 10 minutes just staring at the backgrounds, admiring the beautiful art. And then clicking furiously on everything with everything to get every single text box I can get. The humour of the game is also yes, very much like Homestuck, forced me to take out my translator app sometimes because it uses SO MUCH fancy words. Especially Jude. Jude's talking through walkie talkie kinda annoyed me.
Music. Oh god, the music. Every single piece I heard in this game is beautiful. Toby Fox and James Roach did an amazing job. My favourite was Xefros' theme Rustblood, a.k.a. WHERE THE ♥♥♥♥ ARE THE TREATS. Can't wait to arrange the song to piano.
Moving on. Strife scenes. They are a bit tricky, but I really enjoyed the generic Homestuck Strife texts after every attack. I loved that you needed to use stuff in your sylladex to win the fights. Rip bat monster, you will not be missed as you ate poor Frohiko.
The animations are really fluid and beautifully drawn. The "The Door is Open" animation is amazing. The facial expressions of the characters are very funny and perfectly drawn as well. Man, this game's visual are great and I will proceed to talk about it for the rest of my life.
Moving to Alternia, I was happy to find out some more stuff about this world that Hussie has crafted for us over the years. The violent nature of trolls never fails to amuse me. As Xefros kept talking about his moirail Dammek, who was probably sucked in to the cherub portal at the same time as Jude, I started to grow fond of this little sweet cinnamon roll Xefros and kinda feel bad for the boy, because his moirail was clearly using him? Let Jude kick Dammek's ass later for that please.
Where was I?
Discovered Alternian sports - Pusher ? I think? Later he referred to this sports as Arena Stickball so I dunno. Once again, morbid game: you win - cool, you lose - death. Like everything is in Alternia.
Also they have public transport which is great.
My favourite part about the Alternia part of gameplay was the ability to name Lususes. Lusi? I don't even know. I don't know why, but I got really excited when I got to pick a name for sloth Lusus.
Interactive walkie-talkie on Earth and trollian on Alternia was cool too. I wonder how will the real life dialogues go in the next Acts.
The personalities of the characters were also good. I feel like I know the characters as good as people I see everyday. Is that a good thing? Probably. Easier to write good fanfics :D
Man, I could go on and on about every single object in the game, but I'll spare you guys this time.

TL;DR: As it was just released it has some bugs but aside from those, the game is amazing and you all should check it out!

Before I continue my review, if you are just scrolling around contemplating whether to buy this game or not, look no more - go buy this masterpiece immediately and don't spoil yourself! P.S. grab some snacks and tissues because this game is one hell of a ride. Good luck and I hope you will be a good guide for Niko!

HOO BOI WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN
This game shattered my heart in to pieces, stomped on them and mixed with the shards of broken 4th wall. Twice.
The first time I played this game, it took me like 3 days to finish it all. Mainly because I like to interact with every single object that I see, so you can imagine me button-mashing Z everywhere I go.
I got stuck in puzzles a lot (I spent almost an hour in the very first room because I couldn't figure out how to find the gosh darn PC password). Also, after interacting with the computer in the first room, I wanted to exorcise my computer. Later, I got really fond of the ability to actually TALK to the main character and The Entity (or, after Solstice run, The World Machine). It freaked me out the first time I had to close the game without putting Niko to sleep, which caused Niko to freak out, saying that everything went dark. I was so scared to leave Niko alone again...
This game is amazing. I can't put it in to words how much do I love this game now.
