very good sequel

A Peak Tale : Requiem

World building is exquisite, as is the sound and music. Gameplay is decent, but the writing is... awful. What a fall from the first game. The voice acting, particularly that of Amicia and Hugo, is very good and does much to polish the turd, but it's laid bare with the supporting characters who have the worst writing and mediocre acting. The game tries to deal with the elephant in the room - why should Hugo live if he causes the destruction of thousands of innocents? - but then glides right past it as you continue to play a merry band of murderers with pangs of conscience. This is only made worse by the truly painful banter between Sophia and Hugo, and the complete lack of logic to any of the character arcs. Holy hell what a rat's nest of a script.

Might be worth it if you're very curious and the game is on sale, but I wish I hadn't.
