This is a game that really wears its Ace Attorney influences on its sleeves and on every other article of clothing that it owns. That being said, I think I actually enjoy this game more than most of the AA cases that I've played in the past, particularly when it comes to the writing and overall pacing.

It obviously doesn't have the nearly the polish of a typical AA game, but it still looks and sounds pretty nice for a game with only a $20K budget. Hopefully they have a bit more to work with for their next game. I'm looking forward to seeing how they follow this one up in the sequel.

A really solid RPG with one of the most unique and engaging settings that I've seen in awhile. I give it 9 dead or missing soldiers out of 10.

The pixel art in this game is so beautiful and this game might just be my new favorite metroidvania. <3

This game hurts my soul and I respect that about it

FInally at long last, a game brave enough to definitively answer one of the most important questions in gaming history: "What if Breath Of The Wild had hoverbikes instead of horses?"

10/10

Easily one of the most gorgeous and chill games I've played in a long time. Great atmosphere for a game world whose worlds often have no atmosphere.

This game managed to impress me from start to finish. Engaging story, believable characters, and pacing that hooked me all the way to the end credits. The decision to set the story in Alaska was also a really good one, you can barely turn a corner in this game without stumbling across another stunningly beautiful vista. God, I really want to visit Alaska again after playing this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

If you've ever played DontNod's previous game Life Is Strange, this feels like a refinement on everything that made that game enjoyable, while also jettisoning my two biggest complaints from that game. (No more cringy teenage dialog to be found anywhere, and they decided not to make the ending ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anymore.) A definite improvement all around.

Also, as a trans person myself, I can't end this review without mentioning how pleasantly surprised I was with the writing of Tyler's character. The number of well-written trans characters in media is not a particularly long list, and the number of well-written trans protagonists is even shorter, so I didn't really go in expecting all that much.

Despite that, Tyler is a deeply relatable character, whose transition is directly relevant to the story while also not being his sole personality trait. I'm not a trans man, but so many of his lines felt so true to the trans experience that I would have already known that a trans person had their eyes on the script at some point even if the game hadn't told me that from the very beginning. He's easily my favorite character in a game that doesn't lack for strong characters. I've heard some people claim that he's the first transgender protagonist in any major video game, and if that's true, than I'm certainly glad that Tyler Ronan was the one to fill that particular milestone. (Hold on, what counts as a "major" game here anyway? Do Celeste or The Missing count?)

Uhhhhhh anyway, game good. 9/10.

This might be my favorite trans themed game that I've ever played. Beautiful story, beautiful art, beautiful music, beautiful game all in all.

Best pinball metroidvania of all time.
