I loved the first LiS and Before the storm. Didn't play the second, third was kind of meh.
This one is not very engaging at the moment. Over-the-top "representation" is everywhere. Everyone is black, or Arab, or LGBT, or fat. The character reactions feel mostly fake. Also, are those people teachers? I spent a few years in art college. Didn't have this vibe at all.
I'll keep playing, but feels fake and pretentious AF for now.

It's actually interesting and fun!

Da. Like Quake, but Soviet.

Just like another movie. A good one.

This game is exciting.
It's stylish, the story is intriguing, the tech is impressive, and works well.
I don't know why there is so much hate towards Forspoken.
It's not ideal, but I'm not bored yet - will keep playing.

Good but weird. Weird in a good way.
Clever minimalistic, but working gamedesign.
Enjoyable progression.
I'm still early in the game, so I don't understand what's happening, but I like what I saw up till now.

I played a Japanese version back in the school. Had no idea what I was doing, but it was so cool! 25 years later, after playing all the sequels, I finally playing the first game in English on Steam. It's awesome!
Also aged terribly :)
Now, all we are missing is a Steam release of Sweet Home.

Silent Hill 2 is my least favorite from the series, but this remake is very, very good.
Resident-Evil-2-remake level good.
I hope they will remake Silent Hill 1, 3, and 4 eventually.

IDK...
I love visual novels, Persona is one of my favorite games starting from the first one and Until Then was an instabuy for me when I saw ratings and other reviews.
But I just can't understand why this game is so positively rated.
It's weird, and boring, the setting is strange, the characters are creepy, controls in mini-games are terrible, and I hate the art direction (especially the idle animations of characters). Also, the achievements have strange names (why would someone decide not to give them English names?)

I'll keep playing. Just to see how it all ends. But for now I'm deeply disappointed by the game.

Update: I finished the game. And almost wanted to recommend it. But on a second thought... what a graphomanical, unfocused bunch of shallow, pseudophylosophical noncense... At some point (somewhere in a second arc) I became interested and involved with characters. But the third arc and especially the ending destroyed all the interest completely. I'm not only frustrated by the loss of time, I'm also angry at the creators. There is alot of effort in this game, and it could be really good, but something went terribly wrong... I'm not sure how many of the positive reviewers have finished the game or understood what happened. Anyway, if art is something that causes people to feel, this game is surely art. It caused me to feel frustration and anger.

For now, I love every second of it.
It's exactly the type of game I like.
