A wonderful adventure full of mystery and intrigue. Collecting the manual pages and uncovering things about the world through context clues and solving puzzles was such a wonderful experience. Some difficulty spikes keep this from being a perfect game for me, but by the time I was done and finished the game’s wonderful final puzzle, I was left with an unforgettable experience that I wish I could do all over again. Great art style and music.
This is the most 10/10 8/10 game out there. Fantastic characters, fantastic music, extremely interesting world and lore. The only thing bogging it down is the repeated playthroughs for the other routes not being super different from each other. Much better than Automata to me.
A lot of great ideas, but a lot of broken/misleading promises from the devs. Exploration is fantastic, finding all the tears, discovering new locations, gliding and climbing is all a lot of fun. Unfortunately there’s just not a lot to do. There’s only two classes, with one new class being teased since before launch last year and it’s still not in the game. Quest design is getting better with the most recent patch, but to be honest the story rework is what the game should’ve launched as. And the new story rework is only for the first maybe 1/10 of the game. Past that quest design is dreadfully repetitive, they keep adding new currencies for new cosmetics, creating a bloat of stuff to collect, they didn’t keep their promise of one major patch every quarter, they have borderline MLM schemes with their discord and referring people to get items in game. I’m time this game could be fantastic, and I did play all the way to endgame. But this game should’ve spent much more time in the oven, they’re only recently adding things that should’ve been in from the start.
