Perseverance: Part 3 Reviews

A few years ago, I bought the Part 1. I gave it a negative review. I said that it was a setting for story which then abruptly finished. It left me dumbfounded. But finally, I bought the Parts 2 and 3. It was the setting I liked, this was apparently the game similar to The Walking Dead which was no more developed. And I must confessed I liked the Parts 2 and 3. This was the first game where my choices mattered, and I went to the story branch according to my choices. I could choose _really_ what I wanted, and I was rewarded for that with the story development. So... buy it on discount. There is a bit of reading to do. I am not saying: "You must buy it". It is probably not for everyone... but some of those who like the genre will appreciate it.

A disappointing end to the series. Aside from the awkward translation which plagued all 3 parts of this game, the conclusion itself feels extremely rushed. The game just throws some predictable and cliched plot twists right before it very abruptly ends. All in all, I would not recommend this series. It does have a gorgeous art style though.

[b]Overall: [/b] 6/10 The latest installment in Perseverance. You can choose between Jack and Karen and while there will be some changes, most of the story takes place with the two of them together. If you want to buy it, do it with a big discount. [b]Music: [/b] 6/10 Decent enough [b]Visuals: [/b] 7/10 They looked pretty solid overall. However, the “faces” the characters can do are pretty limited and repetitive. [b]Gameplay: [/b] 6/10 Really simple. Basically a VN with options; I give it points for having an easy way to scroll back and pick another option if you want. However, there is a bug where the game is stuck for a few seconds or minutes, unless you reload, which happens every now and then. A big downside, and this happened in Part 2 too, is that you can’t upload a save from the previous game, so you have a brief introduction at the start asking you about your options. [b]Story: [/b] 6/10 The story keeps moving forward, but sometimes it feels like it doesn’t lead anywhere. There should be more meaningful interactions between the characters or more actual choices. The ending seems to have come out of nowhere with too many coincidences piling up.
