Supergiant obviously has a style and it's always a delight to behold. Compared to Bastion, this game is quite a step up presentation-wise (cannot speak for Transistor). That and the writing are easily the biggest draw to this game. The gameplay bits are fine, but certainly get grating by the end. I never truly learned how to play the game efficiently and I likely never will since I felt like I was just bumbling through. When the game was difficult I got frustrated, and the presentation eventually became an annoyance to me since I had to sit through animation after animation I had seen before. If this game is for you I can imagine it's incredible. Unfortunately for me I wasn't insanely invested, but I can appreciate it for what it is.
