Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak: Special Gigs

no, just no. the game literally introduces a mechanic early into the game that has ZERO explanation. The best way to describe it is that is is some sort of "perception" or "reaction" forced choice. it will show symbols that are meant to represent something, like one is a hear, one is a question mark, one i a crying eye, and one looks like a fist. I bumped into a girl and then some other ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuckup girl showed up and started being a karen and the game was like "OK BRO, THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, HERE'S SOME SYMBOLS. NOW CHOOSE" and i was like "ummmmmmmmmm ok?" and so i picked one... and then the game gave me an immediate second round of weird symbols, a nose, a tongue, a hand, and some other ones i can't even remember right now I got ZERO explanation about this and this happened several more times before i even got to the first fight. Ok so first fight..... after some annoyingly cliche and hastily delivered poor excuse for an intro the game was like "ok so there's ghosts.. we fight ghosts, take this metal pipe which is special and can hurt ghots and take this weird ass homebrew steam deck thingy, now go play the weirdest ass looking 'game' (because i'm using the term VERY loosely) and now you have to predict how these enemies will move on this checker board and use the stick attack to try to hit them. Now the game DOES sort of give u a tutorial for how combat works.... but it is very lacking. so as it is right now, this game story feels bland, rushed, and overdone. The 'game' part where the fighting happens is absolutely underwhelming and feels like it had the least amount of resources allocated to it, I think the intro probably had more resources allocated to it, no joke. Also this weird ass unexplained 'symbol' choice mechanic that I cannot understand at all, like wtf is this. The only thing that was enjoyable so far about this game is the lady in a business suit, and two funny interactions where i accidentally hit the 'tongue' option on the girl i bumped into when i walked to her later and she commented something about her flavor/taste, and then another similar one I did on purpose on the business suit lady where she said "you can have your reward later." and that's literally it. I'm uninstalling this poor excuse of a waste of time right after i post this review.
