/vr/ - Retro Games

- The enthusiasm, ambition, and spirit of the developers is very apparent throughout

- The themes continue to become more relevant as time passes, and they hit on some really elevated ideas:
>The degredation of the human spirit in corrupt, corporatist societies; the inescapable, imposing nature of those corporate entities/governments
>The longing for "an answer from the planet...the promised land" amongst such a world
>The question of modern humanity's worth (with no trivial answer given)
>The idea, too rarely depicted, that death is not something to be glorified
>The human need for a dependable structure of love and support; Depression, the devastating effects of losing your own self-worth, of yielding to your worst impulses, and the oft-unsuccessful struggle to regain oneself
>The idea that in spite of everything, hope in a spiritual rebirth/delivery may not be a waste of time; death may not have the final word over life

-The story ISN'T spoonfed to you, but it is explained to the thorough player. The unreliable narrator approach is compelling.

-The end of Disc 1 is huge

-The presentation (music, atmospheric elements) drive everything home and do just as much expressing as the dialog. It's ambitious, but not pretentious. It also has this psychedelic quality that sticks out among video games. It's memorable.

-It's fun.

Some people go in with the right mindset to get floored by this game, some don't.

How about overrated composers?
