Sonic.exe: Outcome Memories, when my friend @Grus_games first told me about it, sounded interesting, especially when I got to play the early alpha that was released. But through that time I developed a bias for other asymmetrical games, and none other than Pillar Chase really stood out (to me) especially when there were the rinse-and-repeat Roblox models, and if im being honest, Forsaken was a game that I forced myself to like, I played it on a whim, and it felt like no matter what I did, I fell short of expectations, especially with its community. Outcome Memories had the same problem, with it being based on TD. TD was already hesitant for me, I played TD before, and the gameplay wasn't something I liked. While OM did do a better job with it, it still fell short of what I thought could make it good.

When it was released, I was indifferent, I said I liked the game, but I was truly neutral to it. I was never one of those people who turned off EXE chance cause I personally didn't see any reason to doubt overall, 2011x was my favorite EXE, but that's where it starts to crack. OM's issue with the Killer was present since day 1, and I'm surprised people didn't catch on in the beginning. 2011x while a good killer now, felt like he wasn't given enough time to really go over, none of the characters do, they all feel either overpowered or heavily weak depending on who uses them, and arguments saying that "this character is OP" never say that about the character themselves, but about how good they are at the character.

Why did I stay with OM for so long?

I wanted to see how it went, I wanted to be my favorite characters that I knew wouldn't be represented anywhere else, especially in a game related to them specifically. Recently, one of my favorite Sonic exe games on Roblox called "Sonic.exe: Spiritual Summoning," was officially canceled after months of hiatus. I was expecting it for a while, but it pulled me back to the point that most EXE characters will never get their moment to shine, and I was really hoping Outcome Memories could at least give them something, but at this point, it's definitely not happening.

The devs

People already know my general distaste for Romeo on the OM snd I'm not gonna beat a dead horse about how shitty the devs have taken the situation with Raven. Altas (to me) doesn't deserve support as his response was made entirely with malicious intent, lack of evidence, and the OM devs were aware of this yet chose to pull out at the last second.

My views on other asyms

I don't have hope for any of them, even if im I'm hyped for Sunken Echoes, I know I can't grow attached. The Pillar Chase 2 recode is probably the only thing I'm hyped for, and Forsaken will be a forever shit stain phase I had. I know I've tried being calm abt my opinion on the game before, but I just can't do it. I always hated Forsaken, even when it was in its prime, especially when I would get made fun of by fans for even talking about Pillar Chase. Asym games on Roblox are slop, and if they continue to be the way they are I will not see them as anything else other than slop.

Final Thoughts.

Outcome Memories was a game that I liked, but its problems outweighed the positives, and errors that could've been fixed months ago have been hidden behind lazy dev work, whiny fans, and the overall aggressive fanbase that didn't know what constructive criticism was. Outcome Memories, despite Sobii saying it's shelved for now, is dead, and that's how it will remain for the foreseeable future.
