Honestly, it was kind of boring and there was too much happening at the same time. The gameplay is extremely slow and there is too many cut scenes. It is hard to care about the carecters from the start. There is so mant plot elements and twists and turns that you just end up with a 'yeah sure' feeling. I loved LIS btw, so I do enjoy this type of games usually.
Xboxでクリア済み。政治的なテーマについて真面目に取り扱っているDontnodのゲームは好きだけど、どのDontnod作品も雰囲気のエモさが完璧すぎたLife is Strange (2015)の衝撃には及ばない感じ。シナリオはかなり面白いとは思うけど、序盤の展開はスローペースですしオチも割とあっさりめです。あとパズルおもんない。
Classic DONTNOD story game! If you love Life is Strange, you'll like Tell Me Why. Nothing is black and white and your choices make big impacts. Can play this in an easy 8-10 hours.
Eu sempre amei jogos de narrativa/escolhas, e esse estava na minha lista tinha um tempo. Por mais que não tenha se tornado o meu favorito nesse estilo, foi uma historia que me envolveu do começo ao fim e me fez refletir sobre varias questões que são abordadas, seja de forma explicita ou não. Recomendo para todos que gostam desse estilo, um jogo bem mais profundo do que parece. "As vezes, crescer não significa descobrir toda a verdade. Significa aceitar que algumas respostas nunca existirão."

TYLER MY BABYYYYYYYYYY
This game is very storytelling, and it even reminds me of some of the home troubles I have/had. The plot, even just by playing the first chapter, is amazing. I finished this game in one sitting, and I personally think it is amazing.
