Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a video game as much as MiSide. At first glance, I assumed it was a big-budget title, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s actually an indie project developed by just two people.


Originally, I had ambitions of writing a massive in-depth review, but let’s be real, writing reviews isn’t exactly my strong suit. So, consider this my first and last attempt.
In MiSide, you have two ways to experience the game. You can complete all the available endings, walk away satisfied, and call it a masterpiece. Or, you can finish the "core" game and then dive deep into the extended experience-an endless cycle of theoretical warfare as you attempt to decipher everything hidden (or not hidden) beneath the surface. If you’re up for the challenge, I highly recommend checking out the iceberg theories on the AIHASTO Discord server-there’s seriously a lot to uncover.


I won’t spend too much time praising the game’s design, as that’s already covered in countless other reviews. However, I do want to express a bit of sadness knowing that, according to one of the developers, the game had to be rushed. Because of this, one particular section THE LOOP didn’t land as well as it could have. That’s not to say it was bad, but even on my second playthrough, I found myself barely looking at it because, well… the atmosphere was that terrifyingly immersive. So I had to stay kinda hidden, haha. (Also, I had a bug where my flashlight wasn’t working, so I ended up playing the most intense parts in absolute darkness.)


I should probably stop here before I start rambling about things barely related to the game. So, to wrap it up...
I wish the developers all the best with their next project, and I’ll see you in a year and a half when peaceful mode is released (hopefully with a bigger cast than just Crazy Mita),
