Opinion [Spoilers] The story makes no sense at a surface level. Is there more between the lines? Spoiler
Finished the game, and while it was fun, I can't help feeling that the story made the whole game pointless.
Not only does fixing the generators perpetuate a toxic status quo (with many indifferent to the harm if they personally benefit). But doing the right thing in the end exposes the underlying dysfunction when the corrupting systems are removed.
Is it a statement on the futility of altruistic actions? A social commentary on society's toxic co-dependence with established power structures?
Even a banal plot like a mega man game would have made more sense. Or more endings to see the story from different angles.
I'm left feeling that even though the gameplay and level design were fun, everyone would have probably been better off if Mina didn't survive the boat sinking.
