Editor's Rating
Story - *Academy: Live* is anchored by a narrative that, at its core, embraces the well-trodden “school life” theme. The narrative unfolds through player choices, allowing for a degree of variability that keeps players engaged. Characters are crafted with distinct personalities, contributing to a broader emotional landscape that feels inviting. - 74%
Visual - One of the most commendable aspects of *Academy: Live* is its visual presentation. The character designs strike a balance between realism and stylization. Each model possesses distinct features that enhance their individuality, making interactions visually appealing. The fluidity of animations, particularly during the more intimate moments, elevates the overall experience. - 79%
Engagement - Despite its engaging story and visuals, *Academy: Live* falters in player engagement. The main character's passive role can make players feel disconnected from the story, with limited opportunities for exploration or active participation. Lengthy dialogues can overshadow gameplay, making the experience feel more akin to reading a book than engaging in a game. - 55%
Core Loop - The core gameplay mechanics of *Academy: Live* are its weakest link. While interaction and character management are part of the experience, the overall gameplay often feels repetitive and sluggish. A lack of meaningful player choices curtails the sense of agency and exploration, leaving players feeling like passive observers. - 48%
