I feel as though that people aren't really giving the psychotic knight and mornic hero a fair chance. In my opinion that was some of the better writing and most believable paths so far. Think about it, Jack is struggling with with mental state as he not only comes to terms with the fact that he's in love with Eve, but also deals with his own psychosis in the process. He comes to peace with who he really is and the journey takes a HUGE toll on him. This process also has a HUGE impact on Eve, she can see him breaking down, she KNOWS, he's in some seriously shit and something is terribly wrong, her own feelings surface, things she herself has been pushing down, holding back as much as Jack has. In fact she's also struggling to accept reality as it is as well, meanwhile Cassie is the only one either of them can trust, because they can't trust each other and they can't trust themselves. It forces her to know what's going on with both parties and being unable to help either party. The clarity Jack has when he's finally broken through everything when he realizes what he's done and what it means he's going to have to do was amazing to me. I could feel, see and understand exactly what he was going through and could even feel his resolution and resolve to not only protect them, but also see things through to the end.
One thing I feel the Dev missed the Mark on is unrelated to these paths and actually kinda annoyed me a little is the Weird Trangle path. Dev set up throughout the story a reason for why Cassie is so fucked up and even made Eve aware of it, yet as they all get closer she never even bothered to investigate what's happening between Jack and Cassie? This was a missed opportunity in my opinion, Cassie raped Jack, he did say no, several times and she did it anyways. I can't imagine that Eve who is as much in love with Jack as Jack is with her, would be okay with her best friend raping him. The fact that she doesn't even get to find out about it is a swing and a miss. That should have been Eve's big moment for defending Jack as well as making a friendship ultimatum for Cassie. After all Cassie pulled that card on Eve when it involved Luke, Considering how much she loves her Jack I can't see her not making the same threat. "You raped Jack and are abusing him! If you value our friendship at all this will stop right now and you will apologize to him!" The fact that there isn't any consequence for the non consental activity seems off and not immersive. I mean Eve knows Cassie is fucked up, Eve does love Jack, Eve is aware Jack is a bumbling idiot who won't defend himself against them, the story established that supposedly the girls very VERY passionate about rape, we have established that they do draw lines and are more than willing to fight with each other, but as long as it's who gets abused it's okay?
I understand the Dom path having an acceptance route, but having Cassie break down instead of truly being confronted in a believable way is not immersive. I dislike how she saw how much love Jack had for Eve and started to change her mind. That's weak even for her character. Instead I feel as though she should have doubled down on her ego and her punishment system GOT CAUGHT and now has to be the one to get forgiveness. It would have been significantly better I think.
Anyways theses are my thoughts. I do enjoy the game very much and I hope my criticism isn't taken as anything else but just that criticism. Overall it's a mostly very enjoyable experience.
Since I'm on Android, this opinion is for update 6.2 I haven't played 6.3 yet, maybe my mind will change.
Thanks for reading.
