Really solid arpg. Some of the characters felt superfluous, or maybe underdeveloped... eh, most* of them were fun.

The final boss fell a little flat. One of the phases was interesting conceptually - just kinda tame as is. The storytelling otherwise was agonizingly ineffective; tedious, overwritten, predictable. Not for lack of trying! The craft is ambitious, just uninspired.

The droning narration did nothing for me. Bastion's implementation felt more organic, lively. It's a tired reference, I know. I don't think this VA did a particularly egregious job, but Logan Cunningham presents an unfavorable comparison.

Still a good time.

*I would play a full entire game starring Lucy. Her feral yelps of joy, throwing chaotic fireballs at an outrageous clip, man, that shit is life-giving. There's also a decent amount of room in her abilities for a way more developed, nuanced character.
