Death of the Reprobate

ㅤ♡ UA ㅤА це вже Гра №3 із дивної серії цієї дивної гри, але геніального розробника Джо Річардсона. Створювати такі ігри потрібно не тільки вміти, а й мислити на кшталт сюжету та героїв. Творити із себе.... Але на основі картин геніальних художників. [i] Цікаво, репліки Джо наснилися чи він так і в житті базарить.....? [/i] ㅤЦя гра розповідає нам про сина того Безсмертного Джона, який доводив Богу про своє вміння бути 7-кратним грішником. Джон зійшов на трон, народив сина, відбудував країну після кривавого диктатора і готується піти до особистої ауединцию до бога (тобто віддати дуба). І ось син, як я зрозуміла, невдаха, нічого не домігся в житті, і тут батько відправляє його творити добрі справи, а саме 7 справ, здивовані? (гріхи вже батько виконав). Чи назвати дії сина позитивними - це вже ваш вибір, на мій погляд 50/50, десь у користь, десь у крінж (господи що він творив.....). Кінець досить ............... цікавий. Хоча кому я брешу, поганий, кринжовий, дивний, несподіваний та кумедний. Зустріч з дияволом йопта. І повернення країни і світу в ту розруху в якій вона була до приходу безсмертного ДЖОНА (виявилося не на 100% безсмертного) РАДЖУ! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3747356906 ㅤ♡ ENG ㅤAnd this is Game #3 in the strange series of this strange game, but by the brilliant developer Joe Richardson. Creating games like this requires not only skill, but also a keen understanding of the plot and characters. I wonder if he dreamed up those lines or if he actually says them? ㅤ ㅤThis game tells the story of the son of that same Immortal John, who proved to God his ability to be a seven-time sinner. He ascended the throne, fathered a son, rebuilt the country after the bloody dictator, and is preparing to enter into personal solitude with God. And now the son, as I understand it, is a loser, has achieved nothing, and his father sends him to do good deeds (he's already committed his sins, Dad). Whether you call the son's deeds positive is up to you; I think it's a 50/50 decision. The ending is quite... interesting. Although who am I kidding? It's awesome, cringe-worthy, strange, unexpected, and funny. A meeting with the devil, damn it. And the return of the country and the world to the devastation they were in before the arrival of IMMORTAL JOHN (turns out he's not 100% immortal). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3749809459

The only game in the trilogy I didn't love. Mainly for two reasons: too much handholding and too much unnecessary dialogue. Still a good game nonetheless. However, what makes me not recommend this is the fact that the humor, where it was actually funny and at times even clever in the previous two games, took a nosedive in this one and is just blatant sex jokes, profanities and shouting in all caps to a point its turning the game into some 13yo's edgy joke. Four Last Things and Procession to Cavalry where actually great games from start to finish, that were more than just joke games. Death of the Reprobate however is just a joke. And a bad one too. Puzzles also took a turn for the worse, mainly due to too much handholding. The second game remains the best, and its a shame the trilogy ends with a low effort butt joke. I already look forward to replaying the first two games, but I know I'll never touch this one again.

Helping a couple of dudes have butt sex openly in public? It's a thing here. Giving a cow diarrhea and feeding it to children? That's here too. If you're brain is like mine, it's all the things you'd want after looking at a bunch of Renaissance paintings and wondering, "what"? This is the first game from Joe Richardson I've played and it's right up my alley. The concept of taking Renaissance paintings and turning them into an absurd and grotesque narrative point-and-click video game is brilliant and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious. The humor is mostly Monty Python-esque, and while some of it was admittedly a bit "alright-that's-enough" for me personally, it had me and my wife laughing throughout it. I also liked some of the paintings throughout the game enough to look them up as well as the artist, so there's a slight educational component too if you're interested. I've read some comments about the music being too much and while I get it, I think it adds to the chaotic nature of the game. Th puzzles were pretty good overall and if you have trouble you can always go back to the soothsayer to get guidance. I will definitely be checking out more from Joe. Had a lot of fun with this one.

SUMMARY: A continuation of the absurd, yet hilarious. This installment seems more polished than past ones, but still maintains the soul that it originated from. I absolutely loved it. PROS + Wonderful story that allows you to pick up where you left off in the series, while also letting a completely new player dive in without needing to have played the previous ones (but it's still better if you play them). + The art style continues to mimic historical art, while blending in its absurdist humor. + The puzzles are challenging enough without being annoying. You don't need to pull out a guide for these. + Love Monty Python-style humor? Dive right in and feel at home. NEUTRAL = If you're easily offended, maybe stay away. CONS - It's short and I want more.

Unhinged. Recommended.

The worst one of the three. However, considering that Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary are absolute masterpieces, it doesn't mean much. This time around puzzles are a bit less interesting, but I think this is still a must play for anyone who enjoyed the other two games.

EXCEPTIONNELLEMENT DROLE

Very cool game. Music gets annoying almost instantly. Otherwise great. Not great enough to maker me interested in the other games in the series. There is no replay value and it didn't take long to finish. The main reason it took more than 2 hours is you can't skip text. Get it on sale.

Still great, laughed until died.

beautifully crafted and delightfully stupid at times. 10/10
