• Voice acting is still amazing
  
• CG art is improved and anatomy isn't off most of the time
  
• Fancier menu than the last game, effort was put in there
  
• Best intro by far
  
• Some killer social commentary and the comedy can be really good
  
• The mystery plotline is a lot of fun until the end
  
• The Nicole suicide route is actually really good and one of the best routes of the series, albeit insanely depressing

• $15 dollar pricetag for the same amount of content as the original?? The original was never worth $15 and this isn't either. Took 3.4 hours to 100%, and I was kinda slow.
  
• Nicole is just totally evil now; in the previous games at least she gave a little bit of ♥♥♥♥ about Jecka but now it's all just gone. She seems mischaracterized
  
• Katz is just wasted as a character. SBN took the most boring option possible with him
  
• The message from SBN3 at the end of the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane. "Everyone who criticizes the game is a pedophile." WTF? It's fine to make jokes about it in private, but putting it in the actual game is too far.
  
• The joke about the Palestinian slave trade is just not it right now
  
• The feet plotline is just absolutely insane. In, like, not a good way. At the time it was like "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ haha this is insane" but now I realize that half of the time was just spent on it. Is there seriously no better plotline we can do here? I don't think I would note this if the game was longer and had more endings, but with what we have, the fact that an hour and a half was spent on THIS? Just feels totally wasted.
  
• Barely any choices at all. To get 100% you only need to use TWO save slots. Like, wow.
  
• Some REALLY weird angles for a lot of the CG. I excused it last time but this time it seems more intentional.
  
• Counselor changed VAs
  
• Same UI as usual

The game isn't bad, but compared to the others it's definitely a miss. Entire routes feel weird and characters are like Katz and Nicole feel completely changed just to make Jecka's life worse. I would be lying if I said I didn't find many aspects of it funny, but there's too much off-color ♥♥♥♥ to where I can't help but leave The Flip Side with a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe buy if it drops to, like, $7. You should probably just invest in The Re-Up and the original though. As a huge fan of the series, I'm sad.

EDIT: SBN3 is so obsessed with money that he just outright tells his fans that he "didn't put a lot of effort in". https://i.imgur.com/TxBhHyD.png
I wish I was making this up. Wait for reviews until you buy future stuff from this guy.

EDIT2: I refunded this game after 3.4 hours. Others have reported success with similar playtimes. Mention how the game wasn't like it was marketed and some of the more dark content and that seems to work for most.
