Turns out a few years later, the game is in a very fun, reasonably balanced spot. Not perfect, but I still admire the ways in which Amplitude try to update the historical 4X; both in mechanic and attempt at softening the world-view these games traditionally portray.

Chaotic fun multiplayer experience. Apparently it's an interesting solo game too but I don't got those hands.

Very cool game with a brutally sluggish mid-section.

Playing this in full co-op seems like both the unintended experience and the ideal experience for me. Instead of following the lovely crafted stories the game has for the party, we forged our own delightfully weird ones. A joy.

Very, very good one-of-these, for better and worse.

What a gorgeous game in so many ways. It plays great, has some great vocal performances, and pulls off some very effective storytelling techniques. All while not overstaying it's welcome. Definitely recommend!

It's back! And it's still great, it's still such a concise game that will take over your thoughts and day-dreams for weeks.

A lovely, solitary game about solidarity.

Some of the best character work and performances I've seen in a game. And outside of the annoyingly persistent light traversal puzzles it provides interesting combat, and a very satisfying narrative system.

I've been returning to this game on-and-off and the depth of play is scary and staggering.

I cannot believe this game was made, it's special. It feels incredible, the story is good fun, the combat is deep and engaging, it does smart things to make exploration incredibly rewarding. What a delight.

This game continues to be very fun and rewarding to learn. Fighting games rule.
