The project director acknowledged that “ a lot of things have evolved” to cause that change. The original game had an infamously leering male gaze toward the bodies of its female characters, and the Legendary Edition has made changes to address that.
It’s set to be released as part of the Legendary Edition, without revision, which is a definite choice. It's a story where an autistic character is turned into a prop in the story of a supposedly sympathetic abuser, and becomes mostly interested in the abuser’s feelings and experience. None of these reviews remotely resemble any sentiment I’d choose.īecause Overlord is a story about autism, one that clearly regards itself as sympathetic and sensitive to how autistic people are often treated, but the way that it unfolds turns it into a careless and obliviously prejudiced story.
The first time I played it, I nearly threw up.
