Fun fact: The “advanced writer” is Brittany Morris. She is a black activist who wrote the book, “Slay,” which is about a black teenage game developer fighting back against an online troll harassing her over her Black Panther-inspired indie game. She also wrote for Subnautica: Below Zero, a game that has been near universally condemned for its awful story, dialogue, and characters. Brittany is a talentless bitch who is also involved in writing the story for Insomniac’s Wolverine game, so expect that to be shit as well.
Made it about 15 hours in before I gave up. Every time I started getting a little bit immersed, the protagonist would open her mouth and yammer on to herself for no reason at all. I'm guessing just to remind you that you're playing a STRONG INDEPENDENT BLACK WOMAN. God forbid they keep to the "silent protagonist" model we got in the first one that only added to the immersion (if they did that the black/woman thing wouldn't have been a factor at all for me beyond the initial eyerolls).
Even the AI device had some kind of indian woman voice (thick accent and all), which would make zero sense from a technological standpoint.
Hell, even the cover art has her with no mask on despite it being near-freezing waters (showing the world she's a black woman is more important than anything else). That aside, the story is nothing but girl-bosses running around being smarter/stronger than everyone else, especially anyone with a penis. When I saw some old Karen come up in some kind of cartoony mech and start bitching, I had the game closed and uninstalled about ten minutes later.
Remnant from the ashes has the protagonist yell shit when you have to reload during or fight, a “elite” monster shows up, or after a big fight. It’s pretty awesome for immersion when your character tells “OH SHIT” when a giant with a sword shows up.
Only somewhat connected with what you said but I love the game and want to shill for it.
