I'm conflicted. On one hand I generally had fun with the game and there's a decent amount of stuff to like here, mainly the stunning visuals and the great music. On the other hand, the game kind of fails at being a turn based RPG in many ways that's kinda mind-boggling a little. The story and characters are...there, the combat, while fun, feels like it doesn't progress much so it feels like you're doing the same exact thing and using the same exact strategies for a long stretch of the runtime (each character only having three skills is an unhinged choice for a game this long), the runtime itself is just too long for what the game's trying to do and the story it's trying to tell...I don't know. None of it is necessarily bad, it's just...meh. The Messenger is one of my favorite indies of all time so perhaps my expectations were just a bit too high.
