Leave a Review Lifeline
i am weeping
I don’t write reviews for anything but I feel like I have to for this game because otherwise what is the point of life. I just finished this one and haven’t yet played BYiT bc, I kid you not, I still need to emotionally recover from this one. I have never been so emotionally attached to anything. Not even Bird Alone could make my cry the way this has bc it just feels so real. It makes me wish Taylor was real. She says she wishes she could see or hear you, and you wish the same. It makes you wish you could bring her back to earth safely even though she is many, many light years away, making it impossible… or at least it makes *me* wish these things. Not only that, but the suspense that builds is phenomenal. Everything about this series and about her character, is so human, yet is also perfectly balanced with otherworldliness and cosmic lore. I was always felt excited when she notified me and a lil anxious when she was busy. <3
Obviously, I can’t promise you’ll have the same experience that I did, but you will definitely have a strong experience playing this game.
Also, the soundtrack SLAPS.

Less pop culture references, please
I adored the first Lifeline game, but man, does this one almost feel like it’s written by someone else. The writing is just SO focused on seeming clever by dropping nearly-constant pop culture references; it’s not a trait I remember noticing much at all during the first game, so it was kind of odd to suddenly have Taylor doing it what felt like every other conversation. The more it went on, the more it honestly made Taylor less relatable and kind of annoying (I’m also not sure why someone from the future seems to communicate entirely in our-era pop culture, really).
The timing of the “real time” messaging didn’t feel as “real” this game, either. Some of the choice prompts honestly just didn’t feel like a choice someone would make while in a near-death situation (Taylor, why are you staying awake to comment on every song on this spaceship playlist ((AGAIN with the pop culture references)), please just go to sleep).
Overall, I still enjoyed the game, but it’s definitely the weakest of the Taylor stories.Show lessBoopabelle
