I beat OFF

This game isn’t fun. It just pissed me OFF

after playing this great game I can proudly say that I still find baseball extremely boring

I watched a playthrough of the original OFF once, but it had been so long that my playthrough of this version was basically a blind one. context out of the way, here's what I thought: there are several things in this game that are annoying and kind of disrespectful of the player's time. looping mazes where every room is identical, random encounters still happening in puzzle rooms, inconsistent rules that can only be discerned through brute forcing, etc. HOWEVER: this is still a beautiful experience that is well worth forgiving those missteps for. it's a strange, haunting story in a strange, haunting world with strange, haunting music and it made me feel emotions I don't think the English language has words for. the combat is unique, though not particularly challenging. depending on how hard you like your games, that could be a pro or a con. all in all, I recommend it, just be ready to look stuff up when you need to.

This game makes me wish for a "mixed" review option. The gameplay is solid if you're into RPGs although it felt a little too easy to get stacked up on healing items without even having to buy any, and the puzzles are alright if a bit simple at times (I think the best "puzzles" wound up being figuring out how to plan a strategy around certain boss fight gimmicks rather than the actual puzzles). The worldbuilding is incredible and I felt a constant sense of intrigue that spurred me to want to explore deeper and uncover every secret and learn everything I can only for the payoff to be an abysmal third act as the facade of an interesting story slips, revealing a contradictory vague mess that culminates in [spoiler] forcing you to murder a child only for the game to blame you (not your player character but the player as an individual behind the screen) for a senseless act of violence you were given no choice but to partake in. [/spoiler] I was genuinely in disbelief of how a game that started out so well could end so poorly. If you're willing to look past one of the worst endings to a game you'll ever play then it's a pretty fun RPG, I'm still leaning towards a positive review because I did have a lot of fun playing through the game but the final area and ending afterwards being as disappointing as they were has left a sour taste in my mouth.

A huge inspiration to tricky tony, and a huge inspiration to me as well. This game messes so hard. Prior to I think, September 15th??? I had never heard of this game before. If you asked me anything about this game I wouldn't even know what an "OFF" was. However, that all changed eventually. I think the way I found out about this game was someone mentioning it in the soundtrack of another, (I think it was blocktales and it's third chapter.) how they had stated it had felt like OFF. I was curious about this, so I checked out what this game was. For a very good while now, I've wanted to be a game developer, making something akin to a turn-based RPG. Once I discovered about OFF and saw it was one as well, I wanted to get the game to sort of, "study" how they are. [b]I fell in love with it afterwards.[/b] Dude, I cannot tell you how much I love this game, for the longest time, (before Endacopia,) it was my favorite of all time! The story is genuinely amazing. It left me feeling like a parasite was latching onto my brain afterwards because of how much I loved it and kept thinking about it. This game gets dark at times, and boy did it make it much more insane. Literally putting together the pieces in real time was so surreal and an awesome experience. The soundtrack was the most insane thing ever, it was like a smash bros, "everyone is here" mash-up. They got the guys for Oneshot, Camellia was in it, TOBY RADIATION FOX, they guy who was heavily inspired by this game, was in it. There are some insane bangers in this soundtrack, whether it's PHOENIX, HOUR HAND, or WHITE CARCASS, it was insane. I know that nostalgia for the original ruined it for others, but this may be because it was my first taste of OFF, I thought it was great. OFF has a special place in my heart. I really wanna be develop my own game, so when I got this one to see how the genre is, and seeing how beautiful it was, I loved it. It really did inspire me, similar to it with toby. My love for the game is HUGE. I listened to the music a ton, watched other people play it, and more. Laying on my desk, underneath my keyboard as I'm typing this, is the desk mat from Fangamer of OFF. Hell, I even made the batter's bat, sitting in my room right now. If you're a fan of turn-based RPGs', or games with huge stories, I highly suggest OFF. My rating: 9.7/10.
