Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma

4 dollars, my friend got me into and invested in the series only to make me watch ruin it, 4 DOLLARS

everyone speaking ill of the game is correct but everyone saying good things is also correct

十分推荐，如果你喜欢游戏过程靠把所有片子看一遍，喜欢解密点击的有效窗口只有蚊子大小，喜欢不同时间线的同一人物完全没有统一人物塑造，喜欢剧情推进纯靠降智，喜欢角色突然做出完全不符合人设也不符合常识的行为，喜欢前作主角带着两个正常人+三个弱智沙X，那么别等了，这就是为你量身定做的伟大游戏！

建模惊悚，剧情无聊，人设一如既往没亮点。重复性观看相同剧情，浪费玩家宝贵的时间。恶心人的黄色桥段虽迟但到，制作组的金金和欧派多大？怎么不放游戏介绍里作为宣传卖点呢

[spoiler] Featuring such iconic sequences such as: We might be dying of poison right now but we wouldn't want to die of double posion! What if we shot you to death 215 times? and The Nintendo 3DS featuring sex

This is the third and final entry in the Zero Escape series and is another example of the writer being focused on delivering an insane plot twist, structuring the entire game around it, at the heavy cost of quality of moment to moment storytelling. The problems start with how the story is being delivered to the player. Instead of cutscenes consisting of dialogue boxes or visual novel style text screens, we now have bad cinematics. The characters are 3D models, which admittedly look better compared to Virtue’s Last Reward, but their animation is very poor which results in terrible acting during the scenes. The pacing of these cinematics is the most glaring issue for me. The scenes are slow, are not the best display of good cinematography, and cannot be skipped or sped up unless you have already seen them. It might come off as weird, but the cinematics were the main reason I could not stand the game. As a fast reader, sitting there, bored out of my mind, for every single cinematic, was torturous. What amplified the issue was that the story and dialogues were just not good. It’s easier to deal with a mediocre story if it is possible to read fast and not let the writing sink in, but the slow cinematics gave too much time to focus on the flaws. Also, the plot twists were just not that good to sacrifice the rest of the game. Once the reveals started to roll out, my reaction was “really, it was all for this?”. I think the twists in every other Zero Escape and the two AI: The Somnium Files games were at least somewhat exciting and interesting. But this whole affair in Zero Time Dilemma felt like a waste of time.

Terrible visuals, voice acting, writing, and puzzles. If you liked any of the previous games, stay far away from this butchery at all costs. I wish I had just been content with the ending of Virtue's Last Reward in spite of the cliffhanger instead of seeking answers in this poor excuse for a game.
