BARS has left the Top G in a bittersweet state. When the Top G first played this game it was one of the Top G's favourites. Alas playing the game from start to finish going on the Lisa/Jade route, the game has some underlying problems that holds this game back from being truly great.
The biggest thing in the Top G's opinion that holds this game back is the writing and dialogue. It is clear that the dev is not a native speaker of english which is fine but the Top G implores that non-native speakers work with a native speaker to ensure that dialogue comes off as natural. The writing suffers from the lack of proper translation of the idea into english text, the essence is captured but the execution is flawed. However the Top G can look past most of this.
The general story and LI (that the Top G chose) are done well enough to have a compelling story about the MC upstart band, with a decent resolution. The length was nice enough not too long, not too short and Top G can appreciate the dev taking liberties to skip some mundane parts of the story that would have dragged on otherwise. The Top G really did enjoy the charm and endearment in the ending of the game, was really nice to see the characters older and achieve their goals with a nice happy ending. Top G would have liked it to be a little more fleshed out though,on the Lisa/Jade path you see nothing going on with the MC's family and some of the other characters.
Top G will sum up with the renders and models, and the Top G can safely say the game still looks really good (the start of the game is showing its age though) and the models are all within the Top G's taste. The Top G's noticed a lot of complaints about the MC's looks and the Top G must disagree, he looked fine in the Top G's opinion.
All in all the Top G does very much recommend this to his hustlers, and looks forward to the dev's next project (hopefully they take the dialogue and writing to the next level)
