HIgh School Story review
Anyone should play this game. At first it may seem a little silly. For those of us who are way past high school and are done with all the high school drama in every movie, things get more complicated. But this is not just another High School Story. The game has different stories and you get to interact with many characters, each unique in style and behavior.
You create your classmates, you customize them, you give them life. Later you can also have couples and go on dates. The stories are pretty funny and interesting. There's complexity and meaning. It's a universe build up pretty good. In my opinion, you are a dean, a student, the main character of the story and the architect. You buy the buildings, you decide when classes are held, you go on adventures with your colleagues and at the end of the day you struggle the most.
The action doesn't define high school and most definitely does not give you the impression that you're in high school again. The characters are more mature than that, it's only the setting, the idea of the young and rebel years of this period: high school that's emphasized in the game. The stories are presented as text and the avatar of the characters that are there. Here is an example of an emotional Payton - she's a friend:
At some point it becomes a little awkward when you go to an important gala with some rich guy and you're supposed to be in high school. Also, it's kind of weird why you run the school, but you are also a student there. And there are no teachers. Only students exists and if you connect to social media you can also add your friends in the game. You can also post to facebook different events that take place.You also get to decide the fate of your fellow friends:
I had to break them up for a quest. It was a necessary evil, but it was fun. I mostly try to help them, so don't judge! Sometimes you get a timer and you have to make a quick decision. There are 4 answers and 3 of them are incorrectly written or just the wrong things to say or do in that scenario.

From a scale of 0 to 5 stars I would give this game 4 stars. The amount of money and time spent is very high. You either pay for everything, or you wait for hours and hours to complete a quest. Also, the fact that the story is only in text is a drawback. I would've wanted to see them at least change in formal clothes when my character goes for a date and they say they arrived in a fancy car dressed formally and to impress. But since it's a fun and interesting game, I will continue to play it even if the rating is not the highest. It is difficult to find a game with 5 stars that's free.
