For anyone who is interested in playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII, it is hard to recommend.
When I put my Vita down after completing Severed, my emotions felt like soft drink fountains at a gas station.
I do not think that this game’s flaws outweigh what it is trying to achieve after finishing it though.
The story and characters are written so well that when I think about the other endings I may have missed I want to go back and play again so I can see what else happens. It even has me thinking about the way that we treat players' thoughts about characters and how that isn't something that we should ignore.
Animal Gods makes me feel empty after completing it in slightly over two hours. The gameplay is completely vacant of anything fun and the story tries to create a world through techniques that just don't work. The art is nice and the music even has a zen-like quality to it but they cannot redeem the frustration that this game provides.
