So, I stumbled upon this trailer titled ANANTA LOOKS LIKE FUN!!, and honestly, I felt like I’d just dived headfirst into a universe where logic and gravity decided to take a day off. The colors were all up in my face, like a rainbow on steroids. Every scene looked like they hired a guy whose only job was to sprinkle chaos magic everywhere.
Characters? Yeah, they’ve got those. But try keeping track of who’s who when each one is more extra than the last. Imagine that one friend who always shows up to parties in a full costume, yes, even that casual rooftop gathering—it’s that level of wild.
I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be impressed by the graphics or blinded by them (seriously, those neon effects are intense). It’s like trying to watch a movie through a disco ball reflection. My eyes didn’t know whether to cry, laugh, or just give up entirely.
And okay, about the gameplay. You know how in some games there’s a clear objective, like ‘save the princess’ or ‘avenge your fallen comrades’? Well, here it’s more like, ‘throw yourself into a sea of pixels and hope for the best.’ There’s this chaotic beauty to it, sure, but I can’t help wondering if anyone really knows what’s happening—or if they even should. Maybe that’s the point of Ananta (who knows).

Then there’s this soundtrack, which I’m sure they pulled straight from a DJ’s rave playlist. It’s kind of pumping, I’ll admit, but not sure how well it pairs with trying to discern game mechanics. Cue endless headbanging and zero progress in-game.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a part of me that wants to jump right in and take it for a spin, if only to see if my brain can process the bombardment. But I’m also thinking I might just end up staring at the screen, mouth agape, utterly dazed.

Anyway, it’s intriguing, I’ll give it that. Maybe I’m just getting old and crotchety and remembering the days when games had less fanfare and more straightforward missions. My eyes still hurt. I need coffee. Ugh.
