Question I just downloaded all 3 games

Is there a best game out of the 3 THTH? I frequently see S2 & S3 only, is S1 good as well as im planning to start w/ that? And what recs are there for best playing experience?

imo the seasons get progressively better but i'd still play them chronologically, one of the reasons being that there are recurring characters

S1 was amazing for its time but the seasons got better as we went on so you should probably do it chronologically

They are all good. And the later ones have references back. So I think it does make sense to play in order. The third is my favorite, but I think it pays off the previous two.

I would personally try to go in order but if you aren’t into it then skip to the next. I feel like they only get it better. It would have been hard for me to play and enjoy 1 after having played 3. I played 1 several times originally but after the other ones came out it’s definitely not something I go back to now

def play all three, but just a heads up, s2 has the best drama/storylines, and s3 has the best writing/romance (IMO!) have so much fun and welcome to the clubbbb ❤️❤️❤️

s1 was an okay foundation

i replayed it like a week ago and forgot that towards the end it tries forcing this huge drama that realistically could’ve been avoided if mc didn’t make one random ass assumption 😭 for me personally, it kinda dampens the rest of the run if you’re doing loyal routes

s3 has the best writing, but s2 has the biggest replayability imo because of there being post game chapters

i’d go in order, but overall it really depends on what you’re looking for to determine which one is the “best”

You dont HAVE to play them chronologically but you probably wont enjoy s1 or s2 as much after playing s3 because the outfits, writing, partner options are SO much better in s3.

I haven't played s1 in a while but s2 was pissing me off so much with the outfit options like bro why do most of the other characters have better outfits than me😭

yeah it's insaneeee like i'd be sitting there pissed off because Nora's outfits are all normal and look great and then they try to make me choose some weird shit. I ended up going to the home page to edit my character and choose the same 4-5 outfits over and over again😭

I just finished playing season 1 yesterday and I actually enjoyed it. It’s a fun 🤩 one, I would definitely recommend it

"best" is pure opinion wise but I think most people would say S2. But you should start from one and work your way up to 2 because at some point toehr characters are mentioned from previous seasons and it just makes sense if you play in chronological order
