Salim was far and away my favorite character. My second favorite was nobody. My third favorite as a guy that the game introduced to me as "confident" and "intolerant". I hated the other three, especially when they were together. Being stuck in a scene with Rachel and Eric was a lot like being stuck in a car with a couple that hate each other and just haven't decided to break up yet.

Also, while I appreciate there isn't quite a "twist" like in the other games, what is here is almost worse. They keep trying to overexplain stuff in these games, and this one was no exception. Monsters are vampires? Cool. On board. Monsters are alien vampires? Uh. Ok. Monsters are zombie alien vampires? Wait, hold on. Monsters are IMMORTAL ZOMBIE ALIEN VAMPIRES. That's a bridge too. That's like three bridges too far, honestly. The whole third act in bonkers insane, and while I get that there is a level of suspension of disbelief you have to go in with when you're playing these games, IMMORTAL ZOMBIE ALIEN VAMPIRES is something I'm just not willing to ignore.

This was probably the best "game" of the series so far, and I'm still invested enough that I'm excited for the next one. But the story was a bit worse to me than the other two for a variety of reasons. They show the monster right away and take away all mystery. The heroes here all have enough ammo to make a Montanan separatist cult blush and training to make it feel like the vampires aren't even that much of a threat. There's that same weird tendency where scenes don't smoothly flow into each other or you have a character just awkwardly standing in the background because they may or may not be dead in the play through.

Nothing has really captured the magic of Until Dawn for me yet.

I am super excited for The Quarry though.
