Heroes Rise: The Prodigy

I'd give this game a meh if I could. It's an interesting VN but the lack of skipping for generally the same results with minor changes makes getting the 100% super tedious. I've tried quite a bit to do it but it's just too much work, especially if you mess up on a choice.

Bad game, couldnt even finish it, just one word: Illusion of choice. SPOILER: [spoiler] In a battle to recover an mission item in the beggining of the game, it doesnt matter if you avoid the police, and stay annonymous, they still blame the murderer of the mafia guys on you. (even that was a professional killer that killed them and you just stayed as a spectator) [/spoiler] its like it doesnt matter what you do, on the end there is just one way to the next chapter, it is the illusion of choice.

Absolutely awful. A master class in deprotagonizing a protagonist and taking away player agency time and time again. None of the "twists" are surprising or entertaining. I kind of wanted to vomit when I said I didn't want to have sex with another heroine and the game forced me to anyway - you can definitely tell this was written by a sexist. I wouldn't recommend anyone play this game, even for free.

Why does the game force me to kill the bad guy at the end if I don't like the police? There's a reason why I don't like the police.

HOLY MOTHER OF RAILROADING BATMAN!!!!!!! Don't buy this, it's all limited. The choices are absolute nonsense, the things that happen are also nonsense. There's a weird focus on personal politics that are jarring and hit you like a wet blanket. Just subscribe to Novel AI and play a superhero scenario there. In fact do it for all the games in these series.

The choices are meaningless for the most part and you are heavily pushed into certain paths.

In the first ten minutes of the Choices pirate game I was captain of a ship and not long after I was going after a ghost ship. In ninety minutes of this game it just kicked my ass over and over. I guess the idea is that it would you would feel more excited when it finally let you win, but honestly I got tired of waiting for it to let me win. I mean being a super hero is a power fantasy, you should get to feel powerful. Instead this game just keeps reminding you that everyone else is better at this than you are.

A clever little gamebook-style story, set in a future comic book-y world. You take actions that increase various stats, and your later actions are informed by what directions you've "exercised" those stats. There's a surprising amount of intrigue, and more than a few twists. Although the ultimate ending is set, the choices you make along the way do matter. And if you enjoy it, it's the beginning of a story that continues in, like, half a dozen sequels.

The lack of choices is a thing(which many mentioned), but forcing me to take the stupid ideology is another. The protagonist acted like an childish idiot for more than half of the game, and it wasn't because I made the wrong choice. Every choice in the game are similar or has no difference than each other. No matter what I choose, the game forces the protagonist to be a childish idiot that lack any sense of human emotion or intellegence

[spoiler] Henry Cavill I mean Black Magic...screw that guy. Protect Henry at all costs tho![/spoiler] Honestly...there's much better text adventures out there. This was very bland in it's writing and the characters including your own are not very well fleshed out. Everything feels really basic. Basic scenes, writing, dialogue, action it all creates an okay I guess feeling. Really wasn't a fan of how a romance just ends up described as [insert enemy here] just felt hollow, lazy and straight up weird after a while. [spoiler] and screw anyone that was like "So what if you suck the life force out of human beings. It's ok you're hot. [/spoiler]
