The 25th Ward: The Silver Case

Too many cooks in the kitchen. There were three separate writers for three separate scenarios and the quality shifts drastically for each, It really does fail to see why The Silver Case worked and just feels like its weird just to be weird, ala Killer is Dead... You're not missing much skipping this. Music and art is good tho.

I actually bought this game because its soundtrack , so shout out to Akira Yamaoka , yo. his works are great! *Note : I bought the game in discount. my thoughts so far into the game -cool ass visuals , lots of moment worth a screenshot -cool ass uis , very artsy -cool ass soundtracks -the writing could've been better , in term of wording? I just think there're unnecessary amount of "OK" which kinda ticks me off , but that's just me thing. -3d navigation is arse. why am I needed to be tweening between 2 position at a slow ass pace? can't I just walk at my own pace and select where to go , like Killer7?

Damn. I had pretty high hopes for this given its VNDB+Steam Score, the track in the trailer that really slaps and gives off a extremely aesthetically appealing vibe... but this sucks. Maybe it's the fault of the translator, but all of the characters talk like potty mouthed pre-teens and have the personalities of a shonen, despite the art being very 'mature'. The swearing itself is not the problem. I love swearing and get in trouble for it constantly at work. But the swearing in this is highly unnatural, as though a sensitive and extremely polite/orderly/respectful/introverted Japanese author is recreating the skewed caricature impression that watching gritty American cop shows left in his mind, unironic cowboy tanaka type stuff. It looks like The Shell, and reads like Fruits of Grisaia, this is... not good. Like biting into an apple and tasting mozzarella cheese. I'm sure people will say there is some sort of deep plot that turns into social commentary here, but the dialogue is so bad and the characters so immature and false I can't bear the slog. I think most people are engaged by a mix of the aesthetics (which are very unique/pleasing) and the intentional vagueness masquerading as depth. For my part, I can't think that anyone who would write characters like this has much profound to say though. Refunded.

I dedicate this review to my ex partner, Giro. Amazing game overall, and yeah, I do agree on KnuckleBlast's comment, the fact that three writers were making three different stores does offer different approaches from one and other. The biggest pro must be the music. Overall, it's a lot of content for a sequel of The Silver Case, I would play it once and that's it. I do truly recommend the music, the art and the story, but the gameplay does has some flaws.

Phenomenal. Soulful. Painful. The horrors of urban planning and manufacturing a productive society. Also a great sense of humor and a lot of soul and style. Puzzles can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
