The threat of reviews like this is why I pussied out and rewrote all of Little Shroom City to not kill certain characters off, even though it could have become one of the most impactful and memorable sequences in the entire game. You are actively hurting the creativity of developers with these timid reviews. This is a serious fantasy story; of course the villains of the story are going to do villainous things that are supposed to make you uncomfortable. The very existence of your discomfort indicates the success of my writing and intentions to engage with your emotions. I bring you down so I can bring you back up, and the view from the top always looks so much better when you have that strong contrast and feeling of success. The juxtaposition is intentional and is a powerful narrative tool that makes the wholesome moments so much sweeter.
Reviews like this, expressing discomfort at the idea of feeling any emotion other than happiness and horniness, only serve to stifle developer creativity and freedom, especially when this website operates on a strict system of your game being more visible to the community if it has a higher rating. All you're doing is forcing developers to strip themes and creativity away from their games to make the most accessible products that appeal to the widest common denominator. You will never be challenged, or forced to feel anything but happiness and horniness, and the games will be reduced to mere soulless products.
And let's not forget that all of this is due to a level of violence that would make your average R15 game, film, or TV show blush.
1) A minor character with only two scenes losing their head. 2) The main villain of the game threatening you. The reason these scenes bothered you at all is probably because of how attached you were to the story, world, and characters, which by many accounts is typically seen as a sign of high quality. It is frankly bizarre to give something a 6/10 when it's done its job too well, even if you personally don't enjoy it. It's like playing an incredibly scary horror game and complaining that it's too scary and you don't like horror games. Why bother leaving a review at that point? You're wasting the time of everyone looking for a horror game and reading the reviews. I'm sorry that this game is a serious fantasy story, and not another by-the-numbers sex fantasy where the overpowered protagonist solves every problem instantly and effortlessly, but is that really so fucking bad it deserves a 6/10? I don't want to live on a planet where that's the case.
Despite your review, I'm not going to let it change the direction of my game. There will be more important scenes like the ones you disliked that are absolutely required for the story. I'm going to commit to my vision because I know it'll result in a better game in the end.
