RPGM The Last Sovereign [v0.79.2] [Sierra Lee]

Question, how is this game not one of those with a 4.7 or 4.8 score? it having a 4.5 feels too low for me for how good it its

Because people don't understand what TEXT BASED mean... if you look through reviews you'd see that quite a few lower scored reviews list "weak visuals" as negative and part of the reason for lower score.

Honestly, any review that is going to complain about visuals and art in a text based game should be immediatelly deleted because it's not representive of the game... it's representive of the game the reviewer thinks it should be. Same goes for those who complain about RPGM elements in RPGM game...

At the end of the day, this is a porn-site.
People are here to jork it, and most aren't prioritizing engaging narrative over sexy art and scenes.

And with most games, a large share of players won't ever get past the prologue; The artstyle doesn't appeal to them, and the RPGM engine feels a bit dated. Those first impressions matter a lot, and some people won't get far enough into the story to get hooked.

I really hope Annikath redoes those prologue scenes at some point. You can absolutely tell it was some of her earlier work. The Riala scene NEEDS to be the point that players say "oh shit, what's going on here!?"

The game is also pretty intimidating without a guide. Some players will get confused in Stineford and abandon ship.

Honestly, i recon if you only sampled players who got beyond Chapter 1, it would have a score at close to 5.0. But those first impressions matter, man.

adding what other people said, a lot of player hate, real hate, the first gathering with the bit of "sharing".

Well, it is F95. Rating system here is strange when you compare the average between the titles. As far as I can see, a lot of reviews on TLS were written by people who expected something else, or were overwhelmed by the game. There are also some specific criticisms (on the need to play with guide, for instance), but they are not prominent. So in the end it's not so high.
If Disco Elysium had some porn and you could find it here, the situation would be the same.

People don't like their own reality seeping into their games... jokes aside, anyone who bitches about sharing or ntr or anything IN A GAME is literally beyond saving... why ya care about pixelsssssssss (I get it. I too get attached to great characters with very good written lore like the protagonist of FURRY HITLER... I had to use this title because I found it on steam...)

I'm playing Chapter 5 for the first time, is there any reason not to do Eustrin Final immediately?

If you are really low on Ivalan or Arclent acceptance you might not be able to take some actions there, but otherwise I don't think there's any reason to wait, outside of waiting for money to get investments that might improve some relevant scores.

if you can complete it (there an edge case softlocking you) no one.

scores are checked only for starting the event, and you need to have the minimum in both acceptance to make two push.

All of which is fine, this game is not for everyone. But when the game clearly list in it's tags that it's TEXT BASED, that it contains TURN BASED COMBAT and MANAGEMENT, when in title you have RPGM listed as game engine then potential players should have an idea what to expect. Writing a negative review because game contains those elements speak more about reviewer then the game... which is why I believe all those reviews should be deleted due to not being relevant to the game.
