Valve should have done zero marketing for this, trimmed it down to ten minutes, preloaded it on every deck, launched it as soon as you turn your deck on the first time, and prompted you to delete it the instant it’s done. Then, I would’ve walked away going “hey that was a neat tutorial for the system!” As it stands—having to track it down in the store and download and launch it myself—I went in with the mindset that I’d be playing a Game, and it’s a failure in that regard. The gameplay is less than nothing, the writing is forced, the end credits scene is ???

Oh well at least the deck itself is amazing
