Some of the most impressively structured storytelling I think I've ever seen. The game does a perfect job of giving you just enough information to feel confident in making the wrong assumptions about where the story is going.
Really enjoyed the RTS portions, too, charmingly arcade-y and frantic without ever feeling especially difficult.
I feel like even the most hyperbolic praise is kind of useless when describing this game. It's special, but in a way that sounds kind of lifeless on paper. Nobody really cares about "revitalizing stale tropes" or "finding genuine novelty through familiar cliches" but when you see just how confidently, stylishly and joyfully this game does it, it really knocks you out. I loved it.
