It's quite impressive how divergent the last few days of the game are depending on your choices. And I quite like how most of the girls turn out to be garbage people once you get to know them and they open up a bit. They're very believably British, especially Ellie and her family. For the genre it's novel to have the sweet little assistant turn out to be absolutely horrendous.
The team-based investigation stuff sucks though. Story feels very disconnected from the actual case now compared to the early parts as it's all being outsourced while we do bland relationship stuff (some of it in nice places). Constantly being prompted to check the phone and laptop is also irritating on multiple playthroughs. It's almost never worth doing (even the gambling stuff is a meaningless amount of money) but the game sets up the feeling like there might be so better click around before continuing.
Cutting down on the pointless "I love you" "I love you too" dialogue strings would save everyone's clicking fingers as well. I get it with Steph and maybe Ellie but it's so repetitive. Like the dinner scenes with the ordering and "here's your drink" etc. it's just empty filler.
