I've had the first game in my library for a long time but have never really played it, but i always heard great things about it. Not having made time for it over the years, I saw that the sequel (prequel) was being released and immediately preordered. Having just completed the first episode (the only one out so far), I can say that the game is incredibly true to some of the angst that many of us felt as teenagers. It accurately depicts the poor reasoning decisions we often made. Rachel seems destined for a tragic end and Chloe seems as if she's in an adventure that she'll never forget, for better or worse. As with the first installment, the graphics aren't special but the music is perfect for the mood, the voice acting is authentic and the game is filled with some of the most regrettable decisions someone could ever make. I personally loved the tone and appreciate the story the developers are telling here, and I think you will too. The decisions are varied, though I haven't had multiple play-throughs to see what other outcomes are possible. In much the same was as the Dream Fall series, this series of games should make for some very memorable experiences.

I really have a love/hate with these companies. I love their games, but their PC ports are piss poor. Gametstar, you do all of your readers a disservice by saying that this port is flawless. As with the first of these games, I can't even run it full screen on Windows 10. I have to play it windowed and, though I did with the first one, I simply refuse to have to do that again. Fun game, bad port. Par for the course for koei tecmo really.

This game is pretty fun for a while and the characters are pretty great, but I can't play it full-screen on 2 different Windows 10 machines, and quite frankly, I don't want to go to Windows 7 just to play a broken game. I have over 250 games in my library and only about 3 have this issue on either machine. I waited thinking that it would be updated, but it seems that the development team doesn't care at all. It doesn't speak to Square Enix either as all 3 Final Fantaxy XIII games run fine. I can't recommend this game. It's repetitive and can't be played full-screen because it will crash instantaneously. For you Nvidia users, I'll cut you a bone and give you a tip. Change your global settings to your NVIDIA card and then it'll run at the settings you expect. For some reason this game loves to default to integrated graphics cards (something Japanese games are natorious for). Toukiden had some of these issues, but I could run that game in compatibility mode for Windows 7. That's not the case with this game. For your garbage developer.
