Came into this thinking it would be another great story packaged in video game format like it was with nier automata. It is not that. Game play wise you're looking at a glorified visual novel with walking in one of the most confusing central hubs I've had the pleasure of experiencing, yet I can't say it would have been any better with more active game play. This is because the game sets out to tell a story, and that is exactly what it does absolutely beautifully, and would not really benefit from fighting enemies. If you are someone this story resonates with, it will deeply affect you with it's plethora of memorable lines throughout the dialogue. And those who do not deeply resonate with the story-like myself-are gonna find themselves looking at what could be one of the most layered and varied stories, and having it affect the way they look at life (at least for like a week). tldr: no real game play, but story good

I have not loved a game as much as I have loved 1KxR; you cry, you love, you feel, you get mad, you move on, you forgive, and learn that aliens don’t like Bach. One of the best narratives and pieces of fiction ever. A game that will live in your head and heart rent-free until death. The true GOTY. If you know anyone who loves sci-fi and/or doomed yuri, recommend them 1000xResist (and if not, recommend it anyway)

Not a bad game, but not a good game for me either. Have to use a negative review since the overwhelmingly positive reviews made me think I was getting into an amazing game and experience. It's a walking simulator, with a relatively decent story, but a bit too much bloat. If the character's walking speed was 1.5 faster I may have enjoyed this game a bit more, if the garden map made a bit more sense, I may have enjoyed this game more... but there is too much nothing going on between chapters, which gets incremented by the slow moving speed and how easy is to get lost. You may enjoy this, but depends on taste. That said, there is a couple of really powerful messages in this story. The dad for example said something extremely profound that I will probably remember for a while, and the mom also had a couple of important moments. This is a story someone wanted/needed to share, and the story itself is interesting, just accept there is a lot of unneeded "gameplay" in between the story ele...

Dunno man, aside from being emotionally brutal, this had me revisit many of my own beliefs, look at them through completely new lenses. Not many games do that. Actually not many pieces of art do that, or at least don't do that as well as this game. PLAY THIS GAME.

A game that tells a complex story with deep themes and allegories. There's barely any gameplay to be found here, it's basically a book/movie in video game form.

The 5 minutes of game play is worth the 10 hours of buildup.

At it's core gameplay, this is effectively a walking simulator where most of your choice comes into play for dialogue options and how deeply you interact with other characters. However, the story is very, very good which allows this to shine as a title i'd recommend to other to pick up.

One of the best games ever made.

This is basically an interactive sci-fi novel, but it's a good sci-fi novel so I recommend it. Don't be fooled by the bright animey art-style, the story itself is quite mature, though I'm not the best to explain the themes properly, look at other reviews for that. The few gameplay elements that are there, are fun. I just wish the animation budget was a bit higher because the characters can fill a bit stiff (biggest thing that feels weird but you gradually get used to is the absence of lip-synching) and the voice acting, while extensive, can't really fix this (i.e. a character screams but doesn't animate much difference, feels weird). The maps can feel like a labyrinth but I accepted that as a navigational challenge, if that was the developer's vision then I can't see it as a flaw. Lastly, music is good and environments, while feeling a bit too bright sometimes, are well done. So again, recommended, and if you're looking for an unique experience this is an excellent choice.

This is one of the most violent games I've ever played. There is no combat in it. You will be gutted like a fish and tossed into the bowl. It takes a very specific type of person to appreciate 1000x resist to its fullest and it is very much not me. I am not from anywhere near Hong Kong and the only things I knew about it were some half-forgotten news headlines. The familial expectations and generational trauma in my life are fundamentally different from the ones the authors are portraying. And yet, I have been gutted just the same. There are a lot of things to criticise about this game. They do not matter. Join us in the bowl.
