Ok so let's go and get this out the way.... I've played through a good portion of the redux and here are my thought
Pros:
Valerie, just fucking yes! Since she wasn't really in the series until season 2, I didn't really expect her to show up at all; this was an obvious plus! And whoever designed her, just fucking yes! Keep Them!
The UI: Definitely was an improvement take into account I haven't played since the last release, so if the UI hasn't actually been changed; it definitely feels like it's been improved so just take the W. But I definitely don't remember there being regen states in the last
The Negative:
Let's get it out of the way, the art change, I've already said my peace on it a while back, but playing it finally confirms what I expected. The new art not only is immersion-breaking for me The animated old style just feels better in comparison. Lack of repeatable scenes. Some scenes just feel like they should be repeatable honestly, for example, the blowjob scene in the bathroom after we betray sam for star. It feels like one of those type of scenes that, would be able to see over again by visiting her in the bathroom again.
Moving on
The Eh:
The breaking apart of some skills into smaller ones. It's nice to have healing ability or make ability stronger, but honestly its a give and take seeing how this is more a novel and less an actual adventure or action porn game where such things would be more innate.
Welp, that's my thoughts
