Lisa isn't an easy recommend, but it is really good. It loves tonal whiplash and its got some pretty horrible subject matter, its not for everybody. Combat and exploration aspects are really well executed, and the game is filled with things catching you off-guard, like a few really solid horror bits.

This is the dumbest hot take I've seen in ages.
LISA is gloriously good and does a great job of going between humor and existential dread horror, and even though it's got fairly standard RPG fighting the animations just make it amazing.

LISA is a good game, and I rarely enjoy RPG. It’s too bad that the DLC follow-up seems like it was badly designed and sort of compromises the quality if the original game by overexplaining and expanding the story in uninteresting ways.

My hot take is that it's primarily a story driven game, and the story didn't move fast enough to keep me interested, I didn't relate to any of the characters and I thought the writing tried way too hard to be subversive and wacky. I'm sure it's well designed otherwise but I'm not going to force myself to play through a story I can't stand.

This post is canon.

A good joke can stand on its own. I'm sure the writer of barkley knows he can make funny dialogue as evidenced by the first game and if your life is so loving empty that you have to judge people's jokes I doubt you've actually funny yourself.

Funnily enough you probably feel that way about the dlc because it was a kickstarter stretch goal.

Yeah, LISA really isn't for everyone, but it's also the absolute funniest game I have ever played.

I wish there was a good video of the flashback to Rick's house, because that was absolutely amazing.

Ding straight up said in a stream he didn't want to make it but he had to because it was a stretch goal and he highly, highly regretted making it so (since he made it a stretch goal much earlier in the development process with a much different version of the story).

LISA killed the poo poo out of my team like a dozen times during mandatory Russian Roulette, one time I actually just let it go and lost literally everyone. Constantly watching my people die, reloading, going through all of the walking and cutscenes before the Roulette, and repeating it again and again really killed the fun I was having. After finally escaping that hell with something like 5 people left, I quickly bumbled my way into getting my last reliable damage dealer kidnapped, without the mags to rescue him, no idea where the hideout was, It might have been the gang that has someone go mutant and kill your party member anyways, and no path forward I could see besides grinding in that one dark cave for an hour to get enough mags to live on and exp for my neglected party members, I just couldn't keep going. I had to quit.

Pretty much everything else about LISA is pretty great, though, and thevoiceofdog did a great LP that you should watch if you have luck and navigation skills as terrible as mine.

Lol you dumb gently caress.

Everything that was very mildly critiqued in this thread as being dated or slightly rude humor is stuff the devs themselves regret putting in there because they were dumb college kids when they made the first game.

I can't believe there's still people on SA who are still stuck in the mid-2000s "nothing should be off-limits" edgy atheist mindset.
