The Other Half Reviews

Is the price range really generous for a game like this? Absolutely. Is it worth buying? Maybe. While I commend The Other Half messaging of unwarranted sexual assault and mixed communication, I don't believe the game mechanic and length help it unless, for instance, there were more enemy varieties and more abilities to exploit. The gameplay was about 25 minutes too long to my liking as most of those 25 minutes ended up feeling fillerist, fighting the same 3 enemy types. It seems like the developers were trying to extend the gameplay to over the 2-hour mark to prevent you from getting a refund. If that's the case, I can understand why they would do so (admittedly, I may do the same thing if I were in their shoes). At the same time, it hinders the experience, making the game drag out of the repetitiveness. The upgrade system also feels like a time waster. Purchasing things that improve your stats, like making your character resistant to certain attack items, doesn't feel like it made much of a change, and this isn't a hard game as you soon essentially have a lifesteal every time you defeat an enemy. Some would argue it should have cost more for the value it offers of highlighting some important topic everyone needs to learn, but at the same time, there's a better alternative to learning about the topic. Either way, I won't hold it against you buying it, but because it's super cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it. On the other hand, if you do add it to your library, just remember to play it; otherwise, it is sitting there collecting dust because what's the point?
