>>85466203Not the Anon you replied to, but still just a personal opinion:
The Reward itself was fantastic. The short after that was...pretty good, too. Just enough lore/worldbuilding, gave you the origins of the first short's macguffin, which was neat. But I wasn't really as interested in it or the new stuff they're developing.
I thought about it and honestly, I think the biggest appeal of the original, aside from the awesome message about having/developing an unshakable friendship, is how mysterious and weird and inexplicable everything in the world is. Which is undermined the more you spend time there.
Now they have like...just odd worldbuilding stuff like how Vito's a vampire or something and Wilhelm having a half-lizard son somewhere, a backstory for the blonde, hunky hero from the first one, and all the thugs from the city. It's like...neat? But I feel kinda removes any of the mystery of the world.
Which is 100% an opinion, I know, I just felt compelled to kinda...drop that in.
I dunno. Carry on?
