rynlingThere are things I really like about this game, and there are things I really don't like about this game.
I'm afraid that the things I dislike about it are the things a lot of other people seem to enjoy, so I'm conflicted.
To give an example, I dislike the fan-favorite character Junebug immensely. This surprised me, because "an industrial robot who became sapient, escaped her servitude, and is now a traveling musician who is habitually late to everything" should be right up my alley. It's not so much the character that bothers me, however, but rather the ways the character is shaped by how the game works (and doesn't work).
I guess it's fair to say that Kentucky Route Zero takes some big swings. When it hits, it hits hard, but there are a lot of misses.
I think maybe it's worth finishing the game first and waiting to write about it only once I start over from the beginning.
When the semester settles down a bit, I'd like to do the same thing with Gris. There were a lot of things about the game that annoyed me when I first played it, but I appreciated it more afterI stopped sucking at it everything started to fit together toward the end.
