Time for a question that's been asked a lot I'm sure....
Lobotomy Corporation seems to be way too much of an investment especially bc the gameplay is....well you guys don't need me to explain.

What's the best way to get up to speed? Do I really need to play Lobotomy Corporation?

I'd kinda like to go to Ruina but if it ruins the story then idk what to do tbh.

I know plenty of people have probably asked this so please forgive me asking it one more time!

you can play ruina without knowing lobotomy corps story. the main character knows nothing about the events of lobotomy and learns throughout the game, so you get to learn with him.

if you do want to know lobotomys story first, either watch a playthrough of the game or find a collection of the cutscenes and watch that.

No you don't need to play Lobotomy to play Ruina.

Not much from lobotomy spills over to Ruina. You get the aftermath of the true ending of Lobotomy and the names of Ayrn, Benjamin, and Carmen are used, but thats about it. Important lobotomy corp scenes that have presence in Ruina are shown in Ruina minus what happened to Ayrn in the end of Lobotomy corp. (but that is hinted at HARD in ruina.)

Ok. Hmm that does make it hard to decide. I really do wanna experience lobcorp story and write a review of the game but the gameplay is so off-putting. Ik ruina is also very difficult but it seems to have more interesting mechanics.

What's your opinion on this? I was thinking ruina first and maybe go back and play lobcorp tbh.

You can also get mods for lobocorp that make it easier.

I'm playing Lobcorp after Ruina, and in my opinion the events are just as impactful. Some of the buildup is even a lot more tense, knowing some of the information that Ruina gives you. All in all, if Ruina appeals more to you, absolutely play that first. If anything, your experience of Lobcorp will be enhanced.

In that case I'll do ruina first bc I really hate the gameplay of lobcorp but I actually like ruina so far.

If you care about the story too much, i think its okay to play Ruina first though you'll miss out references later in the game.
