However, some players found the plot disjointed or less compelling compared to previous installments, citing issues with pacing, character development, and technical glitches that hindered the experience.

    • “Great story, ahead of its time back in the early PlayStation days and to this day a favorite of mine.”
    • “Fantastic storytelling.”
    • “Great story, gorgeous remade graphics and backgrounds, characters you will fall in love with, relaxing music, real clever dialogue with humorous elements that will make you laugh out loud.”
    • “At some point it skipped an entire scene/sequence of George's which missed out on some vital parts to the story and left me very confused at the end.”

    • “The story and plot was a little disjointed, the side characters not very well developed, some of the puzzles were less interesting and a bit contrived, the cutscenes were of lower quality and the translation to Android left a few bugs.”
  • stability
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent freezing, crashing, and lagging issues that hinder gameplay, particularly on older devices. While some users appreciate the remaster and additional features, the persistent technical problems, including hard freezes and unresponsive controls, have led to significant frustration and disappointment among players. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable but marred by stability concerns that need addressing.

    • “The game runs great, and the remaster adds little extras like the character boxes. It's well worth playing again and again. If you're new to the series, start from the first game!”
    • “No glitches so far.”
    • “But it is buggy, and sadly I am trapped... this review is more of a bug report.”
    • “I've had this game for over a year now, I think, yet I've never gotten past the first room as the game always freezes my phone completely and forces me to have to do a full reboot of my device.”

  • graphics
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics in the game are praised for their beautiful art style and improved resolution compared to previous versions, with many reviewers highlighting the engaging character portraits and relaxing backgrounds.

    • “Graphics poor.”

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight that the grinding aspect of the game is characterized by tedious and often unintuitive puzzles that can detract from the overall experience.

    • “There are a lot more tedious 'puzzles' that seem designed merely to take up time to make the game feel longer.”
    • “The story is very bleak, none of the jokes are funny (it's filled with bad jokes), the clickable areas in the user interface are smaller than the actual icons so you keep running from one side to the other whenever you just want to use an item, and the puzzles are either unintuitive/senseless or simplistic and tedious.”
    • “Most puzzles were tedious rather than fun.”
