Hey hey folks, in this video, I delve into the world of Zero Time Dilemma, the final installment of the Zero Escape Trilogy. Join me as I explore the divisive opinions surrounding this game and provide an honest assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. While some of my friends and the internet at large have deemed Zero Time Dilemma a disappointing conclusion to the trilogy, I approach it with an open mind, determined to uncover its hidden gems. From the ethics of shifting and captivating Decision Games to the intriguing revelation of Phi's true identity, there are aspects of the game that I genuinely enjoyed. However, these highlights are overshadowed by the weaknesses I encountered, including a lackluster Zero reveal, a weak rallying cry, and an unsatisfying non-ending. Despite its flaws, Zero Time Dilemma adds an interesting layer to the previous games, allowing me to reevaluate and appreciate 999 and VLR even more. While it may not live up to the expectations as a stand-alone game or a conclusive send-off, it still holds value in its connection to the series. Join me as I provide a comprehensive exploration of my experience with Zero Time Dilemma and my overall thoughts on its place within the Zero Escape Trilogy. Sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of Zero Time Dilemma together.
