"flashing HP bar" type of vibe



Still recovering from a bout of viral bronchitis but I want to write a bit about my experience with CRYMACHINA.

As an ARPG, it's crap. The combat system is a barely functional replica of Nier Automata, although it knows it's unwelcome and doesn't linger. The only time I had fun was getting to curbstomp each member of Trinity twice.

But the art and music are haunting, and the story is something that will speak to many people: a fight to exist in ageless perpetuity as a mind upload with your lesbian found family on a colony ship fleeing the end of humanity. Without spoiling anything, some weird body horror stuff happens that could be read as trans analogy also.

It's going in my "neat gay endings" folder next to Gnosia and Ada Rook's Fallow. When I have more spoons I'm going to go watch the postgame tea parties on youtube.
