Edit: 9/10->10/10
A masterclass in Sci-fi storytelling. It's been a while since a game story captivated me THIS much. I loved the twists on common troupes. The structure and the way the plot is told was so addicting and the gameplay was decent too. And of course the presentation and music are gorgeous.
VERY SUBJECTIVE CHARACTER THOUGHTS, (not ordered in each rank)
