Definition of "liked not loved." There's a lot to like here, mind you! I think the cast of characters is a lot of fun, the soundtrack is pretty catchy, and it's a good on-ramp to the world of Picross. But the actual mysteries are pretty limp, and the game flings so many puzzles at you that the pace of the story is way out of wack. And even if you are here for the puzzles, they sort of top out at difficulty relatively early on.

I was also frustrated that the game's focus slowly shifted from Honor to Scout as it went along; I found Honor a much more interesting character, and Scout's backstory and conflict to be pretty generic sci-fi conspiracy stuff.
