moon: Remix RPG Adventure

One of the most unique and thematically potent games i've ever seen. It is well worth your time to not just play but fully complete. Its world is like nothing you have seen before with lovable and interesting characters. While its story is relatively simple it is used perfectly for moon's themes. Its mechanics can be frustrating at the start but once they start to click almost the entire rest of the game starts to flow perfectly. Don't be afraid to use a guide at times either, while I don't suggest to follow one the whole way there are some sections or puzzles that require a bit more then just out of the box thinking, or rely on you having seen events that only occur at very specific points on the calendar. One thing of note. Moon presents itself and people often talk of it as being an "Anti-rpg" and while that is true i think a lot of people stop there. While the game has so much more to talk about and its existence as an "Anti-Rpg" is mostly just set dressing.

exudes so much love for video games as a medium, even as it tells you to maybe stop playing them every once in a while

This has quickly become one of my favorite games in the Roleplaying department, even if it initially doesn't seem like much. It oozes love, care, and weirdness (in the good sense). Every inch of this game really screams Love (ironically, since that is what you must gather in the game), and it's one of the most memorable experiences I've had with an RPG in recent times. Most of this game's issues come from being, well, an old game from 1997, but it is quite compensated by a plethora of other aspects. If you're willing to put that aside for the sake of the experience itself, you will find a game that is, in my opinion, a worthy alternative RPG experience. And definitely now that it's dirt cheap, and comes in a bundle!

Im mooning so hard rn

Vraiment vraiment cool. Une réflexion intéressante sur la place que prend le jeu vidéo dans notre vie (la façon dont ça nous permet de changer et surtout comment est-ce les perso nous suivent même en dehors de la console) puis c'est ultra intéressant comme le gameplay arrive à faire ressentir ça. On parle souvent de moon comme étant un anti RPG mais les gens s'arrêtent en général au côté [spoiler] "oui faut sauver les ennemis qu'on à utiliser pour farm de l'XP"[/spoiler] alors que y'a tellement à dire. Je pense notamment au fait qu'ici avancer/Level Up/s'améliorer ça nous permet de gagner des trucs élémentaire d'un jeu vidéo [spoiler] (Level Up nous permet de jouer plus longtemps, on peut acheter de quoi avoir une OST pendant notre partie, on doit vraiment beaucoup beaucoup explorer pour finir par débloquer le fast travel) [/spoiler] Bref un jeu super intéressant, on voit de très loin comment Undertale/Deltarune s'en inspire notamment sur la notion de Love/LVL qui est un reflet de notre attachement aux PNJ

I can't get across to you how captivating the world of MOON is. The NPCs, the style, the underlying themes are all so beautiful and unique. It's ending had my soul sobbing. If you want to experience a game that lets you sink into a place beyond reality, where each moving part is strange and weird, but somehow still slots together whilst playing with the boundaries of fiction; you should play MOON. But you probably won't enjoy it. It's a real shame. The gameplay of moon is interesting at first, but becomes absurdly dull for 80% of it. I can't stress how much a mechanic of this game is Waiting. Waiting and doing Nothing. The action limit mechanic becomes inconsequential after the first few hours- at which point the fun ends. Have you ever played an RPG, and really payed attention, such that when you are done and the world is finished, there is little left to do to attain 100%? It's only a matter of backtracking through the whole game and maybe using a guide to find the stuff you've missed. It's dull, but it's the afterparty, so it doesn't really matter. The entirety of MOON is like that. That's the entire thing. Many story beats and quests would be so impossible to find without a guide. I only used a guide for the back half of the game, once my patience ran thin- and I found myself finishing books I had been putting off for months. You cant alt+tab, as the game only runs while selected, so I would just sit there and wait. I have 23 hours of play time. I guarantee a good half of that I did nothing for. Moon will be more bearable if you don't 100% it. Just build the rocket and go. Do only the things you are interested in doing. Don't play this if you are a completionist. All I attained at the end for this urge was a vapid sense of boredom. 8/10
