Finished Yiik NG+. I will probs write up my thoughts in a different like, Thoughts/Questions Thread at some point cause uh, while I'd say NG+ had more of an emotional core and was overall better and more engaging, my thoughts still lean pretty negative overall. Like, if I'd played this through steam I'd probs leave a Not Recommended. That said, it still compels me and I want to engage with its narrative, but I still have some fundamental questions. I'm sure some of them are answered in the... books? But, frankly I'm not left with enough positive feelings overall on Yiik to want to read those.

It certainly was interesting to engage with as a piece of art. I enjoy engaging with art I dislike, I find there's important things to learn in experiencing them. Especially with something like Yiik, which shares so many inspirations to things I do like, it's interesting to see the differences in style and philosophy when it comes to storytelling.
