OK SO, ive got, quite a bit to say about this some negative some positive, lets start with the negatives and get those out of the way first because its never fun to complain
NEGATIVES:
1. the story felt a little bit cliche at times, which when youre doing this kind of story is unavoidable, everything has been done at least once before so of course there will be some repeats
2. the tone shifts came out of nowhere and, im not particularly a fan of there being no buildup/undertones but this whole thing is mostly my preferences and you cant please everyone so i understand that
2. there was a big lack of raincoat!!! they were only mentioned once which feels pretty weird considering they were, yknow the main character of the first game and apparently strawberries best friend and main driving force, so it feels weird that they werent at least mentioned the raspberry and blueberry at the very start?
3. it was never explained if cherry had escaped from prison or if the camp scenes took place before cherrywitched, which if it did, why would cyan know cherry as "the infamous cannibal who is part of the everlasting"?
4. again about the story, i feel like you tried to shove memorial's backstory into the friend groups a bit too hard at the end, in my eyes it wouldve been much better to sneak them in while the little memory segments were playing and having them be crossed out and speaking in the classic "@!?@#$?" language, rather than having it all crammed into the end because i mean having them be strawberries girlfriend at the start felt rather unbelievable (especially because raincoat was pretty implied to have some form of romantic relationship with strawberry in the good ending of that game but that might just be me misreading), having literally just met them at that point, and their very first point of introduction was them being girlfriends, so it was hard to see how their personalities mixed together (which it didnt feel like they did AT ALL in my eyes) and it certainly didnt help that we had no time to even get to know cyan by that point, especially since theyre in essence, an entirely different character from memorial, and this is just a nitpick but the maturity difference is one of the reasons im not a fan of strawberry and cyans relationship, the maturity difference and the fact we knew "cyan" for all of like 5-7 minutes practically, we didnt get to know them at all really, thats enough of that part but i do have more to say but ill just stop complaining here and get to the oh so jolly and wonderful good parts!
POSITIVES:
1. THE ART IS GORGEOUS, strawbunnies deformation was very sad :c
2. the voice acting was superb, 100% giving my props to the voice actors
3. shit uh this is mostly about aspects that arent the story... oopsy.. SHIT RIGHT BUTTONS!!!! I LOVED THEIR ARC AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT, i really relate to buttons in the whole people pleaser aspect and very apologies-y and uhm yeah buttons is my favourite character by far ^w^
ok so that about sums it up, im sorry for having more negative things to say than positives, the story did kind of go off the rails near the end but it was still enjoyable!!! (weakest out of the 3 imo but considering how peak those 2 were please dont take that to think this one is bad!)
tl:dr
weakest in the trilogy, still spectacular in its own right!!!! i look forward to your next game!
