Review | While I didn't care much about Muv-Luv Extra and basically finished it as fast as possible, Unlimited really got me hooked after a while and, especially considering the massive praise, quite excited for Alternative. However, instead of picking up the high stakes that are left by Unlimited's ending and making this the beginning of a grand finale, the pacing grinds to a halt almost immediately and in my opinion takes far too long to get going again. Even when it does, the overall plot progression remains incredibly sluggish, with strong and important scenes being scattered between exhausting amounts of infodumping, the protagonist's constant inner monologues and trope-y comic relief moments. I also found myself quite disappointed with the music, many tracks sounded generic or even annoying. |
