Judge, jury and executioners.
It shows what good writing and character design can get you.
As a result, a dedicated fan base latched onto the games unique psycho-philosophical clash of hope and despair.
Sounds wonderful, right?
In terms of setting and characters, everything is executed to near-perfection.
This is an autonomous zone, free from government interference and run by the shady Amaterasu Corporation.
It feels like a glimpse into the halls of MCM Comic Con for at least the next 12 months.
The villainous head of the Peacekeepers in Kanai Ward?
A hotheaded rascal and master of disguise?
A money-driven results-focused investigator who can revive the memories of the moment a murder was discovered?
You get the idea.
Even the head of your organization is merely called Number One.
This is where Shinigami comes in, serving as your assistant and Forte.
These are mind palaces of trickery and illusion, where clues discovered become the keys to finding the culprit.
It all comes together as a flashy and exciting affair, elevated by the characters who lead it.
Yet this theme never truly develops.
Justice is a matter of opinion.
Again, it never truly materializes.
Its not that the game has never considered these ideas: theyre all here.
But without exploring them beyond a namedrop, it leaves events beyond the flashy exterior feeling distant and cold.
Maybe these next attempts will help fix some of these flaws.
