A fantastic follow-up to last year's brutally earnest and wonderfully explosive VN Absolutely Perfect Specimen, Hopeless Divine: Wake of Vultures offers a different blend of catharsis for its readers in the form of a slowly bubbling narrative laced with an underlying ticking time bomb of hatred and rage that reveals itself more and more despite everyone's attempts to defuse and disarm it. Several moments in this had me wide eyed and speechless with its presentation and story beats that emanate with passion and intense, unrelenting emotion in a world that's actively hostile and uncaring to those who reside in it. Everyone who enjoyed 2023's Absolutely Perfect Specimen owes it to themselves to experience this game, too.
