Corpse Party: Blood Drive

Take even the most cursory glance online and you can easily find a torrent of hate for this game, but you won't find it here. I enjoyed this game very much by taking my time to savour it and really ensure I was following every development closely. A lot of players fall off the rails with this game because they don't hold on tight enough, or for some reason want it to follow real-world logic rigidly, a strange ask, given that players of this game presumably have at least some experience of the magic-laden Corpse Party universe by now. I highly recommend immersing oneself deeply in the gory warm bath of [i]Corpse Party (2021), Book of Shadows, and Sweet Sachiko's Hysteric Birthday Bash [/i] before playing this. Yes, you will lose a lot by not having played those games thoroughly beforehand. I would also encourage you to play this on PC! Wonderful, you're reading this on Steam, so you almost certainly will be. I say the above because a lot of this game's negative reputation comes from the appalling mess it was released in, and left in, for years on console. Oh console, how heavy your sins! This isn't to say the game is a flawless masterpiece now—certainly not, but it's a lot better than the cynics and hate–train bandwagoners would have you believe. It has a fantastic ending and genuinely great story beats all throughout. This game includes some of the best extra chapters in the whole series and when "Harewataru Sora" begins to play in the Epilogue, it really hits perfectly... like the fragile hope that dares to hint at dawn after the oppressive darkness of Heavenly Host. Some puzzles are particularly hard… well, that's always been Corpse Party; the infamous bug pit from Game 1 set the standard for that. Some things are a little finicky to interact with again, that's par for the course. Maybe the new characters upset you? Some villains are irredeemable; not everyone needs to be shades of grey. As for Magari and Kuon, Magari is larger than life but nothing unusual for this series, really. Kuon is very strange, yes, but remind yourself: she was created by the curse to replace Ms. Yui. Feeling otherworldly and unnatural is deliberate—she was literally written into existence by magic. Accepting that is table stakes for the story, so complaining about her "weirdness" feels oddly selective. She isn't an ordinary woman. Perhaps you simply don't like where the story goes and feel strongly that [i] if only [b] you [/b] [/i] had written it, then it would be different and much better in your humble opinion… Overall, this is a great telling of Kedouin's vision for how the Heavenly Host saga ends, at least for now. I personally think it tells its story very well. Yes, this is one of those "do or do not, there is no try" kind of games: either commit to this as a lover, or don't bother with it—as you'll only get hurt if you go in for a quick fling.

good

No lo recomiendo. Es una m*erd*. Menos mal que lo compré cuando todavía estaba en pesos argentinos y en rebaja, porque realmente no vale lo que cuesta. La historia no deja de contradecirse: Ayumi deja de ser una persona pensante y pasa a tener memoria selectiva. ¿Cuál es el sentido de hacerles caso a completos extraños y no a tus propios amigos? Por ejemplo cómo se olvidó de que los celulares no funcionan en Heavenly Host, o de toda la explicación que le da Yuki en Blood Covered acerca del universo? Cómo vas a ir sin prepararte en absolutamente nada a otra dimensión que la última vez casi te mata? Además, me parece completamente ridículo que no haya quick save y que no puedas guardar el progreso entre medio de los diálogos, que encima son muchísimos, redundantes y no aportan prácticamente nada nuevo a la historia, salvo más contradicciones. Ahora el foco está puesto únicamente en Ayumi y los demás personajes ya no tienen gracia: Satoshi, Naomi y Yuka quedan totalmente relegados. Ah, y a Yoshiki lo convirtieron en un chabón re patético. Estaba buena la dinámica que tenía con Ayumi en el primer juego, pero ahora se limita a ser un personaje plano, cuyo único propósito es andar atrás de ella como un perro. Encima, otra cosa increíblemente frustrante es la mecánica de correr y escapar de los espíritus, que resulta completamente ineficiente. EDIT: seguí jugando para ver si mejoraba. Spoiler, no pasa. Mi opinión sigue en pie después de 24h de juego y 30 logros

Unlike Book of Shadows, Blood Drive is an actual sequel to the original Corpse Party that dares ask: "What if we kind of did the exact same thing over again with a smaller body count and just as much edgelord nonsense"

玩一半吓死我，但是我又吃这种q版3d小建模。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 游戏说实话，快绕死我了

Написала большой отзыв, но его то ли стим не пропустил, то ли он не загрузился. Но у меня большой незакрытый гештальт на этот счет. Поэтому я напишу его снова)0)0)0 У этой игры преимущественно много минусов, связанных по большей части с тем, что поменяли геймплей, теперь это не визуальная новелла как было в BoS и не jrpg бродилка. Теперь это полноценный 3d survival horror с ужасными болванчиками из томодачи лайф. Сюжет мне понравился, понравились новые персонажи и то что вели борьбу между двумя культами, но оч не понравились фансервисные моменты, они меня из себя выводили как и элементы этти, я молчу про взаимодействия Куон и Сатоши… Понравились новые механики(конкретно то, что от призрака можно спрятаться в шкафу или заюзать против него талисман)+ хиллки, которые с учетом бесконечного числа стекла, щупалец и провалов, были как никогда кстати. НЕ ПОНРАВИЛАСЬ ОТСЫЛКА НА Сайлент Хилл, в виде чела с треугольником на роже и ЧУДЕСНЫМ образом появившаяся колокольня. Радует, что историю закрыли наконец, пусть и крайне мыльно, но закрыли, чему я рада и только лишь по этой причине ставлю тут положительный отзыв)0
