13 Sentinels is an astonishing Evel Knievel-esque feat of daredevil storytelling. I was devouring this thing with the constant fear looming that this story would eventually buckle under its own weight and come crashing down. So it's nothing short of a miracle that the game actually delivers on most of its potential while remaining entertaining throughout.
It's a high-wire act, plate-spinning on a unicycle. There's a whole entire lore section that you actually want to read. There's an RTS in here that has more in common with Geometry Wars than anything else and it OWNS. The story feels like watching 13 seasons of a soap opera with a RNG-generated episode order, and figuring it out makes you feel like you're putting together a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle while a jet engine is blowing directly at you like that one scene in Jackass 3D. It's an experience you just have to see for yourself, especially if you care about literally any genre of sci-fi (trust me, this game probably has it covered)
