story6 positive mentions
character development3 negative mentions
  • Meaningful player choices that lead to multiple distinct endings and affect story, characters, and environment.
  • Engaging combat system with two different playstyles (Merciful and Ruthless) and varied enemy designs.
  • Strong replay value with several playthroughs encouraged to explore all endings and combat approaches.
  • Combat can feel repetitive, clunky or dragged out with some bosses lacking challenge and encounters becoming one-on-two.
  • Exploration and puzzle elements often feel tedious, repetitive, and underdeveloped, with large areas lacking meaningful content.
  • Lack of proper PC options/settings, unskippable and repetitive cutscenes, and mixed quality in storytelling and character development.
  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Hindsight 20/20 - Wrath of the Raakshasa" features meaningful choices and multiple endings, offering a branching narrative that some players find engaging and rich. However, others find the plot bland, dialogue unremarkable, and the overall story insufficiently compelling to justify replaying. While the concept and impact of choices are praised, the story execution receives mixed reviews, ranging from excellent to underwhelming.

    • “Hindsight 20/20 - Wrath of the Raakshasa is an action-adventure game with various story branching.”
    • “I really liked how the choices I made in the game affected the storyline as well as the environment.”
    • “The various combinations open up to multiple endings for the game, and different story paths.”
    • “Despite having numerous endings, the story feels bland to me.”
    • “It wasn't fun to replay the whole game again from the beginning just to see a slight change towards the decision that you make at the very end of the game, and the story isn't that interesting either to justify another playthrough.”
    • “Is an ok game, not very friendly on keyboard and mouse, the combat seems repetitive and story from what I played leaves something to be desired. Got bored within an hour of playing.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features two weapons with distinct mechanics but suffers from repetitive combat and minimal character progression, relying heavily on rhythmic combo attacks and special moves. While some praise its fun and nuanced combat with unique enemies and animations, others find it boring due to limited variety and enemy spawns. Overall, the combat system is engaging but lacks evolving mechanics or new abilities throughout the game.

    • “The combat mechanics are just spectacular, with interesting and unique enemies to fight!”
    • “The fighting combo mechanic is a bit reminiscent of the PS3/PS4 Batman games, but it is more nuanced and enjoyable.”
    • “Moving towards an enemy while attacking will auto-lock them, and then hit them if close enough - doing this in a rhythmic alternation, choosing what enemy to strike on the third combo hit to prioritize greater threats, is one of the core mechanics of combat.”
    • “The gameplay is boring and redundant since enemies spawn one by one, forcing you to fight mostly in one versus two scenarios.”
    • “Aside from some new special attacks unlocked progressively, there isn't any new weapon, move, or mechanic added to combat or exploration at any point.”
    • “Other than inflicting damage only on the third hit of a combo and unleashing a special attack on the sixth, there isn't any other character progression mechanic.”
  • replayability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers good replayability through its multiple timelines, choices, and combat approaches, providing solid value for repeated playthroughs. However, it lacks some common features and accessibility options that could enhance subsequent playthroughs. Overall, replay value is considered a strong aspect by most users.

    • “Overall, the game ran beautifully and the premise of going back through the other timelines gives it some good replayability.”
    • “With all the different choices and approach possibilities, replay value is definitely solid.”
    • “Replay value is solid, given the multiple approaches to combat and choices.”
    • “However, as a game that offers replayability value, it lacks too many features that are commonly available for such games.”
    • “As a game that relies on replayability, the game doesn't seem to have accessibility options for the subsequent playthroughs.”
    • “Length and replayability.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound design receive high praise for being amazing and perfectly complementing the game, significantly enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The soundtrack is amazing and fits the game perfectly.”
    • “Amazing soundtrack, and amazing gameplay.... storyline is perfect....”
    • “Also stellar music and sound design, really adds to the experience.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The animation and art style is terrific.”
    • “This game's graphics remind me of something like 'The Walking Zombie,' with a cel-shaded/cartoonish look which I think is great.”
    • “Visuals.”
    • “I could understand that there might be some clash between the aesthetic and in-game decision as to what the building is used for, but it just doesn't make sense most of the time.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is criticized for being nonexistent or meaningless, with choices feeling inconsequential and narrative outcomes confusing or forced. Overall, the game lacks meaningful progression or growth for its characters.

    • “Choices ultimately don't matter, leading to zero character development.”
    • “Many outcomes are confusing and contrived, hindering meaningful character growth.”
    • “The game offers zero character development throughout the story.”
