I did finish Zero Parades. Overall, I did have a great time playing it. Plenty of laughs from some good writing, which is a high mark for me because most game writing sucks. If any game can get my to laugh and cry, its an instant 10/10 (disco elysium) However, I really don’t think the game stuck the landing in the end very much. By the end of the first act, i expected the plot to go to something like
spoiler
La Luz is going to mass produce the disc that wipes peoples minds and then mass imprint on the city with the leaders personality or whatever. Instead we just get told our mission is to assassinate some guy.
I do wish they explained a little more about the disc; apparently its some eldritch? entity in space, and the fake accident satellite is picking up its broadcast. I thought this was really interesting but i guess wasn’t as thoroughly fleshed out as i’d like.
I’d probably like to play it again, possible if they release a directors cut or something. i did encounter at least a few bugs while playing. Also i apparently missed an entire character.
9/10
I’m glad you had a lot of fun with it. I’m pretty lukewarm on it for the moment. From what I’ve experienced so far the writing seem much weaker than disco elysium.
Like it keeps establishing stuff about the main character that just isn’t true for one thing. Like it tells me stuff about the character’s personality that just manifestly is not what is going on. Also none of the skills are interesting imo. Like Statehood is just “What if Authority was also a tankie”, spycraft tells you about spells, and the rest don’t really have a personality.
A curse of being under the shadow of DE, i suppose. I did turn off the narrator voice pretty quickly, so I didn’t really get a feel for the personalities either.
