Fading Afternoon

55 hours and i don't think i've seen even a quarter of everything in this game. and i haven't been bored a single time. it's genuinely THAT GOOD. the combat is a bit lacking for options, but once you unlock the second character that's alleviated pretty well.

So..... I play to much of this game. Really enjoy the gameplay, a lot of story branch, you can do so much and the music is a banger. Overall really recommend this game, and if someone can recommend a game simmilar to this i'm really up for it.

Absolute cinema.
just updating this review after playing this game 8 hours more to say this statement is stronger than before

Friends of RIngo was a cool little game that did not draw me in for longer than one playthrough.
Fading Afternoon is completely different. A nihilistic mood with multiple cinematic storylines and relationships to build.
Definitely feels like you're living a Kitano movie

The fact that this game has layered context sensitive controls akin to Red Dead Redemption in order to do things like put on sunglasses or asian squat while smoking is everything to me. This game makes me feel like I am Beat Takeshi.

Love this game. Never got the ending I wanted due to the limited timeframe but still a great play nevertheless. You can also replay it several times and always end up with an alternative ending.

This game is about a middle-aged yakuza recently released from prison. He is getting old (and has lung cancer) but is very experienced and hits like a truck. This is reflected in the fact that he has only half his maximum HP and is slowly diminishing, but he has all his moves unlocked and stats raised to maximum, like starting out with a maxed level character at the beginning of the game.
Has one of the most fun combat system I have played! With only one slight flaw! (Please remove the superman punch or change the control so I don't keep getting hit in the face by flying bottles every time I want to guard)
