I couldn't go to sleep before leaving a quick short review.Before giving my impressions about final update I want to congratulate
Classy Lemon for bringing this gem to Steam.
I took my time to play it again from start on all 3 affinities and I can say I was very pleased on all paths. I will keep my focus on the final chapter because I'm late to the party having waiting for the Steam version to come out. I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. The story continues to be as engaging as before now adding more characters to an already diverse and fun cast.
If prior to this El was the highlight now the ones who steal the show are Ashe, Kaylee and Ves since it's their turn to shine. I loved every moment of their screen time and how each render helped flesh out their backstory and help us understand more about them. My favorite LI remains El but after this season 1 finale Ashe climbed very high on my list with Kaylee following very closely.
The humor is still present but I got to say I like how this time around comedy took a backseat letting emotional scenes take the stage and it was a very pleasant surprise to see how the dev nail not only the goofy parts but also the more serious ones. It really enhance the characters giving them depth. Personally I like more the serious and emotional moments as the story progresses because you can feel the stakes that way and we care a lot more about our favorite characters.
Music choices are very well made complementing the scenes, renders are always gorgeous and animations are very much improving each update.
Very solid update and was worth the wait to grab it on Steam. I cannot wait for the next episodes to see where the story goes because as things ended it feels we have only just started to get the ball rolling. Ok I really need to go to sleep now.
