I’m curious what makes 2 your favorite game.

hhh first of all it's just the best cast. look at them. they're a colorful, cohesive group of stupid idiots i wanna spend all my time with. i'd spend forever with them

aesthetically, it's just. this

the whole thing takes place on a little group of islands, which my summer-loving ass was all over immediately. just look at nagito on the beach. it's so comforting if you ignore the murdering

and story-wise i think it's just really fuckin cool. the sci-fi stuff is great. and it expands the first game's story without explicitly letting you know it's even doing that. they don't tell you where it is in the timeline or what this class has to do with makoto's class until way later. you're kinda sat there wondering how related everything is, waiting for the shoe to drop. then the moment this one very explicit reference to the first game popped up, i s c r e a m e d (the castle's password--the adrenaline rush i got--can't describe). and then, then, they have the audacity to make you care so much for these guys, to CRY FOR ALL THEIR DEATHS, only to hit you with this twist about them that makes you question if you should've cared at all. i..........hated them all for a hot second. even my dearest of blorbos here. hated.

there's also another twist to it that i called for once so i'm just proud of that -W- and it's a twist that makes this game easier to stomach then the other two, on account of..........well i won't spoil out in the open but it's kinder to me. easier on my heart.

so much of the bus au is just flashbacks of these guys living on the island post-game because i can't help it. they are so good

it's my partner @charismatic-cannibal's fave in the trio, so i went in with expectations and came out like this
