Visually, yes. However the actual gameplay loop becomes hyper repetitive within the space of 2-3 hours and that the plot is genuine garbage that has no resolution or consequences.
I actually think it's pretty nice but you can tell that it's been gutted a lot because of time constraints.
I cannot find a single redeeming part of the storyline at all. It's all hyper contrite, characters motivations/personalities seem to make no sense, the random seasonal jumps are jarring and demonstrate how little characters grow, and the ending literally has no consequence. I chose the 'evil' ending and nothing happened outside of that professor dying. Despite absorbing all the ancient energies of doom that these 4 paintings had sealed away, not a single one of them cared despite them insisting on me stopping someone else who was doing precisely the same thing. Despite them saying that no one should have that type of power. I rocked up with said power and they're just like "Hey Jason."
I wonder what I shall use my immeasurable ancient power for?
a) Good
b) Evil
c) Shenanigans
d) Literally nothing
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a masterpiece. It's nice, but could have been way better.
