Overall I think this game is doing interesting things, even if it falls over suddenly at the last minute with a poorly broadcast ending and the combat is distinctly uninspired at this point. I'd recommend it (and I would anti-recommend playing XBC1 and 2 first, as it's actually more confusing trying to understand why these characters are relevant and showing up and if they're going to do anything related to their games), but all the good stuff is in the sidequests. It's the kind of game that really electrifies me: it has ambition and can't quite realize all of it.
