Been thinking for a while on how to talk about episode 4. Its got some very high and very low points, so I think the best way is to list out what I like and dislike.

Dislikes:
-Maria and Ange backstory. More depth to characters is always good. This however went on for wayyy too long and I came close to falling asleep a few times. I dont need an hour+ long exposition on how Marias life sucked, or how Anges life sucked, or why magic is awesome, or whatever life lesson I cant remember. Worst of all is when they stand in the same place and drone on the same topic over and over.
-Jumping around multiple timelines and versions of characters without knowing which is which, confusing the hell out of me as I try to make sense of their thoughts and actions. Worst offender is Maria who was in a book, then in 1986, is dead, then alive, becomes a psycho, and reverts back after that....
-Ange dying. Its a waste of a character if she doesnt return after going through all that shit. I imagine she will come back sooner or later, she hasnt even resolved the threads in 1998.
-The whole game being Kinzo killing whoever he pleases and a couple of fights, there is almost nothing to solve. Battler didnt even have to try. There might a narrative reason though.

Likes:
-Jessica and George fighting, and the prison escape. These arent the mysteries I wanted but nonetheless fun and exciting with some great comedic moments (Loser flags)
-Some of the 1998 parts where Ange meets some relatives of the dead, the money and letters were very interesting.
-The final battle between Battler and Beatrice. Might be my single favourite moment of the game so far. Music, dialogue, sprites etc are all very fitting. Really got me excited and pumped all the way.
-Couple of other parts I havent mentioned. They are all pretty good.
