Christine Love has made great stories in the past but this defintley takes the cake. Having some of the most indepth characters, fantastic music, and more philosophical themes than your body can handle, Analogue: A Hate Story is a story that will leave you intrigued to the very end...if you are an avid reader and like philosophical stuff.

Pros:

- The themes it deals with are some of the most unique and untouched upon subjects I have ever seen in any game to this date. Dealing with interpersonal relationships, LGBT, transhumanism, and loneliness. It certainly isn't cliche.
- Isaac Schankler is one of the most musically talented people I have ever had to pleasure to listen to. Buy the soundtrack, now.
- Other things that would delve into spoilers.

Cons:

- If you're not a person that reads books often, prepare yourself for a problem. See, Analogue isn't a traditonal visual novel focused around dialogue and art. No, it's more minimalist. Being next to only text. It's litreally wall after wall of text. This isn't a bad thing, but if you're not an avid reader it will be daunting at best.
- Not an ideal entry point as your first visual novel, no I have better things for that.
- Could've been maybe just a tiny bit longer.
