To people who say Sonny and Sonny are overrated, hear me out.
Sure, the actual gameplay is not unique, however it runs very smoothly once you get into it. Visuals and sound effects are top notch.
For me, the best thing about the Sonny series is its immersiveness. Not just because of the plot line, but I'll start with it. Those who started with the first one will know that you're thrust into a world with a character who doesn't remember who he is, is afflicted with a terrible disease and because of this disease is the subject of persecution and hate from total strangers and sinister, mysterious forces are at work to destroy him. That's some pretty intriguing stuff.
My favourite things about it though are the soundtrack by David Orr and the visual art. The music is captivating, and the aftermath theme just sends chills down my spine whenever I hear it. It really makes me feel like I've been absorbed into the world of mystery, fear and uncertainty that Sonny lives in. The visual art, drawings and colours (yeah, I'm British) are beautiful in my opinion, and put me in the mood I assume Krin wants gamers to be in when they play it.
For all those reasons, I always feel a bit sad when people say Sonny's overrated, because I feel they aren't appreciating all the fine details of the game that make it so enjoyable for me.
Anyway, that's just me.
SonOfVader, out.
