I was totally surprised by how much I still remembered about the original. I was even more surprised how well this game (sometimes too faithfully) recaptures the feeling and tone of the original, too. It wildly veers between serious socio-political allegory to wacky melodrama to high action to slow and tedious. It's a roller coaster, for sure.

Ultimately, it's a game that is greater than the sum of its parts. No single aspect stands out as being best-in-class, but somehow the various pieces all come together to make a whole game that feels exceptionally well conceived and conveyed.
