LISA: The Painful

this is the first and probably the last game to actually bring me to tears. absolutely worth every single cent

Still thinking about this gem of a game, even years later.

Oof. This one hurts.

What a journey of silliness and despair.

[h2] For context: [/h2] i was gifted this game by someone who really appreciates it, whom i really appreciate, and i was set on finishing the game no matter what. The exploration is fun, the strategies regarding combat are way too simplisic, the "puzzles" too are monotonous/simplistic and most of the games playtime was spent backtracking for sidequests or going back repeatedly from point A to B to progress each point dependantly. About the story : i couldn't connect or feel anything reading these dialogues, not only the dialogue options are trivial but the thought process made to spill out these answers seems so underdeveloped and the phrasing is so mediocre that one feels hopeless watching a horrible misunderstanding happen from nothing (althought with-in character). [spoiler] There was a complete 180 degree twist and redemption of The Father out of nowhere at the very ending? [/spoiler]

i wish i could experience this game for the first time all over again

Its a must play if you are a sucker for indie story games with pixel graphics , the story is incredible , a bit confusing tho but you can understand it, battles although not easy , where not super hard either, except the optional bosses, well at least the PTSD boss was hard hard, died like 5-6 times, which is not a lot but it was time consuming, the humor of this game is out of this world, its also very dark, the ending was a bit obvious but not from the start, at the very end you might suspect what could happen, personally tho i liked the characters, i LOVE voice acting with my friends Anyways remember to stay joyless ;]
