Amazing

If youve liked The Heroes Rise series, youll find this game for you.

Wow!

Well worth the wait!

Fantastic!

Was so happy to see another installment for the Heroes Rise story! As always it was fantastic!

Really solid

The parallel he (the author) is trying to make between leftist issues can be nauseating at times but aside from that its a really solid pick. The majority of the characters are very likeable and Ill be getting the next instalment for sure.

Holy Slugger!

This was an excellent story to branch from the Heroes Rise Trilogy. I very much enjoyed it so much that I give it all my praise for such a wonderful and diverse story telling.

Its not as good as the past Hero Project.

It was boring and less action.

Not worth it

Think of all the things that made the original trilogy awesome, now forget all those things and you basically have this disappointing mess. There are so many stories the author couldve explored yet he went with the least interesting one, all with the subtlety of 13 year old. And the fact that every 5 pages theres an " inspiring " monologue from one of the characters advocating the authors political views which breaks any kind of narrative the game had going for it doesnt help either. It truly pains me to write this, because the original trilogy were the first games I bought from Choice of Games and the reason for subsequent purchases from them.

Simply Amazing

This game does not let down the expectation set by the Heroes Rise Trilogy. In fact it expands on the Heroes Rise universe, allowing readers to explore the minority viewpoint of life in Millenia City. I loved seeing the my old favorite characters (for returners) and meeting the new ones. Excited for the next installment!

Heavy handed

First the good: this is a lengthy story, writing is very consistent, lots of choices. And now the bad: author is forcing a very specific world view and it is incredibly obvious and heavy handed, stats and choices can feel arbitrary at times. I get wanting to promote your view point, but the author does such a bad job of making it feel natural and not forced that it completely removes me from the story, also does not help that the author has an extremely specific idea of how your character should be, and any choices that run contrary to that ends up punishing you. Can not recommend.

Show dont Tell.

The writing is nice, and the story is on par with the authors previous work. However, its linear story is made even more apparent due to the author also railroading your characters personality. The writer utilizes themes of discrimination, but rather than guide you to a conclusion and letting you feel as if you discovered it, the author spends a good deal of time putting characters on soap boxes to preach to you. Even worse, your own character spends a good deal of time preaching about this to you as well in an awkward way which makes it so that you barely even have control over your own characters opinions. It would have been great if the author given the player a bit more space and allowed them to roleplay the experience rather than telling us exactly how to think.

Low key dissapointed

I loved the first series. I romanced Jenny and saved the world. It was awesome and the story felt like my characters own. So, yes Im a little dissapointed with the second series. The writing was great, as usual, but I felt that the story and characters were... lacking. I could immediately compare a handful of the new heroes to previous characters in the series. And the character the player was meant to feel sympathy for I felt nothing. The story itself is alright just not what I was hoping for. After you save the world with omnipotent heroes I guess its a bit hard to top. The cameo of your first hero was neat but not neat enough for me to feel satisfied. The game has good representation and does relate to the issues we are dealing with today which I appreciated. It also--despite again having what feels like recycled characters--has new pretty great heroes that you want to learn more about. And your PCs powers are pretty interesting and youre left looking forward to the explanation behind it. Overall it was alright. Bit better than average but not as immersive as the first series was.

A Sequel Is Needed

The writing was superb but like the many who believed the second series forced a political opinion on the characters, I have to agree. Still, I do believe a sequel is needed in order to better the first story of this second series and create development for the characters within this amazing series.

Disappointed

I loved the first series. The author has a wonderful writing style and consistency. But I cannot get past the constant political rants. I believe there needs to be attention called to these things and representation is so important but I just cannot relate to the main character. I had so anticipated this game for over a year but I couldnt even finish it because I couldnt immerse myself in it enough. Definitely not for me.

Amazing

As someone who played the first trilogy, I found this new installment to be fantastic and refreshing. I am very much looking forward to the sequel.

To be fair...

As a choice reader from childhood and having read most of the choice and hosted games I can say the following. As more choice games come out the quality has and continues to improve. Thats good. This book while excellent falls just a bit shy of the original Heroes trilogy. On its own its 4 stars perhaps 4.3. Compared to most choice games its a total gem. Worth the cost and the time needed to read it.

Great Work!

As a huge fan of the original Heroes Rise trilogy, I was going into this hoping that the things I loved about the first 3 still remained in this edition. Im happy to say that this is the case in a majority of cases. My only two complaints, minor as they may be, regard the characters and the political nature of the story. Admittedly, I felt like the characters couldve benefited from a tad more development, but, assuming there are more works, I can imagine this will be addressed later. Secondly, the very specific angle this story drives the reader in, while being inextricably linked to the way the character is intended to develop, seems a bit heavy-handed at times, and in doing so pulls a little bit from the freedom I saw in the original 3. All in all, however, Im thoroughly impressed, and I hope to see more stories soon!

An Okay spin off

Let me get this out of the way, the first series was way better. This entry failed to make me connect to my character as the first one did. When in the first one I truly felt like I was my super hero, this ones writing very much feels like reading a "choose your own adventure " book. I know that essentially this is a choose your own adventure book but the first series did a great job of it feeling like I was the character, every thing that happened to them happen to me,compared to this one where it seemed like it was happening to a character, it lacked the ability to make me connect. The worse part is the ending, this story literally had no real climactic moment and as soon as you begin to build tension and get to that point I get "Next: Epilogue".

Great Stuff

A great follow-up to forerunner trilogy. It was thoughtful and more politically relevant perhaps than its predecessors. A definite reccommendation.

Not as Good as the original but

I still enjoyed it. I honestly do prefer the original series; decision making was much harder and I found myself torn, but in this episode I felt everything was more straightforward and easy to deal with. I liked the cameo of my original character, but I wish we were following her story instead. This one feels too political.

I enjoyed it but..

I really enjoyed this but it left me wanting more but in a good it felt very political at times and really in your face which sometimes can be a good thing and sometimes its best to let people look for it but all in all I enjoyed it
