ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies

Traded a pack of cigarettes to a talking monkey for a technologically advanced fleshlight. 10/10

I experienced a bug early on which launched me into a conversation with a character I clearly wasn't supposed to meet yet. It spoiled a lot of the game for me. Unacceptable to release a story-driven video game in this state.

Excellent game, the writing was great, the voice acting was lovely, and there were some really brilliant moments, just like in Disco Elysium. I really liked the spy theme and the atmosphere of the world. Couldn't really notice a decline in quality in any of those areas. But there were also some things. that could benefit from further improvements: - Many important difficult tests had no "fail forward" scenario so you just had to re-try them over multiple days to proceed with the game. - The clothing system pretty much worked against the philosophy of the game making you do lame frequent min/maxing to be able to avoid re-taking the tests mentioned above even more. - The ending was a little bit chaotic, it wasn't clear from a gameplay perspective what you can still do, what is already blocked and how you can use what you have prepared (your character would know, but the game structured it strangely). - There should be more "waiting" possibilities enabled in the beginning. I know it would make the stress system a little bit easier, but otherwise you had to cheese it with fake time-consuming activities. All in all, I think most of the things could be corrected with some patches or a definitive edition or something, there was nothing inherently wrong with the game itself, just some more adjusting to be done for a perfect experience.

Recruited a beetle which saved my life.

FOR CASCADE ALL WILL BE FORGIVEN 致飞流 一切都将得到宽恕 КАСКАД ВСЁ БУДЕТ ПРОЩЕНО

Мне плевать на внутренние разборки менеджеров и я не собираюсь принимать ничью сторону - игра получилась замечательная. Не вижу в её названии цифры 2 поэтому и сравнивать с ДЭ не вижу смысла. Это разные истории, разные герои и разные судьбы. Если не быть слепым и яростным фанатом, то можно увидеть, что у игры есть не то же самое, но «то самое». В общем, дайте ей шанс рассказать свою историю и, возможно, все будет прощено

Absolutly amazing game! Story and narrative are great, simple mechanics and very many choices that alters the story. Whoever voiced Cascade's inner voice shoudl get an award. The final mission is awesome, Highly recommed!

Очень даже неплохое продолжение

Controversy aside, it's a great game with superb writing and really interesting ideas to explore. It features meta-musings on what constitutes a copy versus an original, and discussions on cultural domination and the soft power used to control rival nations. It's about overcoming past mistakes and facing the risk of repeating them just to get a better result. It’s sad to see the developers get sacked because of absurdly weak marketing and the constant negativity perpetuated by so-called Disco Elysium fans, who will criticize this game for the pettiest reasons yet praise some absolute Reddit-tier dogsh!t like Esoteric Ebb. I'd say this game does some things better than DE and others worse, but it's still a really good game that you should try.

Очень жаль со всей ситуацией по Disco Elysium,но Zero Parades выдалась вполне хорошей игрой,не смотря на плохой фон, используя концепции диско, авторы сделали самое близкое творение из всех disco-like проектов(оно и не удивительно),возможно игра не даст максимальных эмоций(тому кто знаком с диско),но написана игра хорошо, и арт дирекшн,не побоюсь сказать, на уровне работ Ростова,возможно кого-то оттолкнет сеттинг или настрой игры,но это все ещё штучный продукт и надеюсь последующие проекты от оригинальных авторов не подведут, и желаю ZA\UM процветания, ведь больше хороших игр никогда не помешает
