It's fun enough and doesn't overstay it's welcome, but I don't think I was ever really sold on the gimmick. Seeing the replays is cool the first couple times but I soon found myself wishing I had been able to play the game at that speed. This genre is defined by twitch reflexes and quick decision making, the fun is derived from formulating and implementing plans on the fly. I just don't really see the value in slowing that down while altering very little else.

Was honestly expecting a bit more from the meta-narrative. I mean, it's perfectly servicable as is, I just feel like there was a lot of obvious missed potential here. I got the gist of where it was going early on and it never once betrayed my expectations.
