Wicked this ain't.

There's a lot to like in this game. I like the story, the characters, and the voice actors are great. Even the art is ok (a little too comic book-ish for my liking, but not terrible), and I like that it's inclusive. But making this a "musical" means a good portion of the game needed to be devoted to songs, and the songs are terrible. There's no rhythm, no rhyming, no bridge. It's as if the characters are singing their rambling, messy thoughts which at best is awkward and at worst is total cringe. I actually roll my eyes and mute my computer when they break into song because it's uncomfortable to listen to.

Another issue is the character choices within the songs. I often don't understand in the moment what I am supposed to choose, or which choice will get me the outcome I'm looking for. There's a timer on these choices which you can turn off, but that doesn't change the fact that the outcome of the choice is difficult to anticipate. I can't tell if this is intentional, but this mechanic is part of the reason the songs suck so much. If your actions can change the way the song goes, then making it a good song is not as important as telling the story, hence the lack of rhyming or sense of any musical rhythm. But if the songs suck, then why make it a musical in the first place?

tldr; they made music bad and that's uncool.

refreshing, delightful and with a suprising amount of replay value for a choice narrative. also troy baker and ashley johnson graced this game with their amazing voices and character expression

5/5 – Amazing game! I really enjoyed it!
