Aight finished another section and i think I figured out my gripe with Origami King. Don& #39;t get me wrong, i have been enjoying parts of it.

But the game doesn& #39;t know what it wants to be. It& #39;s basically a pat on the back simulator with no real sense of accomplishment.
Every battle is so streamlined and simple with everything spelled out for you and almost no room for failure. I& #39;ve actually had difficulty TRYING to die. Thematically it wants to be more than a cookie cutter story and keeps building up segments with no real payoff.
It kinda dawned on me when I finished the ship, i was super excited when I got there and it had a horror theme that was dropped 2 seconds later and you don& #39;t even get a unique foe to surprise you. Its all build up, no pay off. THAT SAID THOUGH, its still charming in a lot of-
Areas. The game does well with music and writing when the jokes aren& #39;t paper related. I actually wound up liking bobby alot. I& #39;m a little disappointed i have to go and rescue Olivia though, so much better without her tbh
True ive only beaten 2 of the streamer segments but by this point I should be like "WOW THIS WAS WORTH IT" and instead I& #39;m like "eh. I& #39;ve giggled a little but i don& #39;t think I& #39;ll ever need to play through this again"

Still gonna finish it before my salt though
And please, feel free to share your experiences, these are just mine you& #39;re allowed to have your own. It& #39;d probably be good for my video too to have a variety of viewpoints!
