My first game in the series and it's more or less what I expected and totally fine and fun for what it is. However I don't feel obligated to finish this because looking at hltb, every game in this series seems long as hell for a minimal-story, gameplay driven series. And with my limited time I want to at least shelve this one for now because I'm honestly just more curious about the later entries based on things I hear (e.g. gameplay refinements, stronger music). I might come back to this first game eventually but for now I think I'll just try Untold 2.
