History YMMV / Oneshot

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Niko is a lost, scared kid and ReluctantHero who awakens in a world already well into decay. [[spoiler:YOU the player are]] told that there's only one shot to fix things, and the residents of the world regularly tell you that the world is doomed anyways, and your efforts cannot fix everything and may only delay the inevitable. Niko themself wavers both on whether they can truly save the world and if they'll ever return home. [[spoiler:Then you the player are faced with a SadisticChoice between saving Niko or the world.]] It's tough to remain invested through all that. The Solstice update [[spoiler:replaces the VideoGameCaringPotential that you and Niko can show to the {{NPC}}s with the other {{NPC}}s helping you out instead... and [[PlayerPunch suffering as a result]]. And you're faced with an even greater apocalyptic catastrophe than before. You can '''FINALLY''' EarnYourHappyEnding if you persist, but it's an ''extremely'' depressingly demanding route to get there.]]

!!The [[VideoGame/Oneshot video game]]

** Asking Niko to put the sun in a crusher nets this achievement: ChaoticEvil.

* ScrappyMechanic: The whole "one shot" mechanic works wonderfully for the game, unless you either die by accident (by a power blackout or a BSOD, for example), or finish the game and want to replay it. The only ways one can replay the game normally after finishing are to: restore their computer to before the game was played, play the game on a different account, or use a different computer. Seems fine, except one may not have access to any of those options, and at least two of them will become inaccessible anyway after replaying the game using them.[[note]]FridgeBrilliance declares that the game is only meant to be beaten ONCE.[[/note]]

* MemeticMutation: Some fans keep making [[VideoGame/{{GrandTheftAutoIV}} Niko Bellic]] and [[Franchise/{{LoveLive}} Nico Yazawa]] jokes about Niko as the three share [[NamesTheSame the same (or very close) name.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music for the game is, in short, absolutely stunning. Special mentions go to "My Burden is Light", the title screen music which perfectly captures the atmosphere of the game; and "Distant", a peaceful and beautiful track that plays at the end of the game [[spoiler:if you choose to put the lightbulb in the spire]].

** Especially hilarious considering that, [[spoiler: in the Regular route, the same notes says that the stapler has been glued to the table so that it can't be stolen. That's right: In the middle of absolute chaos, when squares kept popping everywhere in the Refuge, someone somehow had the time to steal a '''glued stapler''']].
