WTMG’s Oliver Shellding: “The ironic twist in everything is my adoration of Cricket: Jae’s Really Peculiar Game is why I rail so hard against what I don’t like about it. The formula is there, the elements are there, the look and feel and even the story which feels lifted from folklore is THERE, and the decision to laden so much grief and hurt and anger into such a short period of time sours the whole meal. Even if I play to the finale and find the ends justifies the means, I’m still left here, at this moment, with how I feel and how it affects the overall experience. I’m not saying that it’s bad, but I’m saying it hurts, and not the way the developers may have intended.”
