The23rdMagus 07/03/20 5:24:16 PM #2:	Agreed. Sometimes I just want to participate in a story without being tested on my reflexes or strategy. That's why I loved the Telltale games, and sort of why I appreciate Phoenix Wright and Danganronpa so much - the gameplay of the latter two is more or less a quiz on what you've read, how you understand it and how it fits together. --- ~Drewnami~ A beacon of Light from a burning screen. <cite>The23rdMagus posted [p:941631157] in I love sto...

Even knowing what you're supposed to do, the game is so much fun. The way they manipulate the physics on each planet is crazy. Each is different fron the last, built with mini puzzles within in.
