I love LiS1 but found the second one to be... not as good. I just enjoyed the redoing time mechanic a lot more than telekinesis. I've yet to play the third one despite owning it. I should probably do that.

By third one, do you mean true colors? This is much closer to before the storm I'd say, and the subject matter isn't as 'serious' as LiS2. However I'd say the writing (specifically the dialogue) is probably the strongest of the 4 games.

[–] Mercuri@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, that's what I meant. True colors. Sounds like I'd enjoy it. As an aside, I did enjoy Before the Storm. And I did enjoy LiS2. Just that LiS2 wasn't something I wanted to replay to try different decisions like I did with the other games.

I tried the first one, but as I love to min-max in games this was super stressful for me to play the "optimal" way, then I looked up the decisions and then after some hours I thought, if I look up the whole game in some guides, I am probably not the target audience. Now I have way more fun with factorio.

omg I'm kinda the same. I always need to know the consequences of every decision to try to get the best possible outcome. And then I get frustrated or annoyed with a game.

With LiS1, it came out as episodes so it wasnt possible to know the consequences of every decision beforehand and I was forced to make decisions based on limited information. This ended up leading to some happy surprises I probably wouldn't have experienced otherwise.

I've found that I tend to enjoy things a lot better if I just play it through blind at least one time. Trying to min-max everything has been a tough habit to break though.
