Looks beautiful, amazingly narrated and good conceptually, but the gameplay just couldn’t mesh with me much. It isn’t bad, I don’t want to propagate that, but I feel you’re handed so much with too little time to mesh with it, and the shrine bonuses really don’t have the draw to them I’d like. It’s just, fine. The story is interesting, and I like the dichotomy of the ending and what it represents, but I don’t necessarily vibe with a “our people did bad, don’t hate us though we’re the ones fixing it” type narrative. That may just be me though. Nevertheless, a lot of what became hallmarks of Supergiant, from game to visual to sound design is here. I think for a first game, it’s admirable and a good framework. I personally just didn’t mesh with everything as I’d have liked to.
