Moonlight Peaks

After playing 20 hours of this game, I think I've gathered enough ideas, and opinions to form a review. I was a bit skeptical at first, because for one... I play lots of these types of games, and I've yet to finish a couple of them. Yes... That's a problem, but isn't related to the game, lolol. Well. One thing that I noticed is that this game is very artsy. Not only it offers you two Portrait styles to choose from, but the bachelors and bachelorettes are quite varied and intriguing. I absolute fell in love with the card game. And there's several options for quality of life in here, many that I've found myself thinking in other games 'hm, this is tiring, grindy and annoying, how can I make it better?' And yet, the dev(s) managed to solve of these issues in the game with such creativity. So much so that it's very intuitive, and it makes me want to return to the game, because I'm having fun playing it. Runs well on both RoG and PC with no issues. I only have a few complaints. The whole... inclusiveness thing. It doesn't feel nuanced or well fleshed out, it feels icky. It's very in your face, it's uncomfortable, and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Not because I'm prejudiced, but because it feels performative. Like you're trying really hard to make every single person happy. I'm not sure if I'm biased because of the current state of gaming industry as of late, or if it doesn't quite hit well when it comes to the writing in this. I think there's ways to introduce such subjects in impactful manners. If you need to spell it out all the time, then you cheapen the meaning and the safety you're trying to convey to others. Aside from that, regarding the gameplay. There are a few times that I find myself lost in regards of 'what to do next' but I think I've been able to circuvent that well by exploring. Overall I recommend this game! I'm having fun, cheers.
