Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Just to note, at the time of this review I have 2 hours in the 2nd campaign "Given Time" but had previously played the 1st campaign "The Far Shore" on another launcher, so this review is actually from 11 hours of playtime altogether.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
But biggest of all is the new structure, a free-roaming chapter of solving puzzles yourself...and suddenly it hits, The Far Shore has become the tutorial for this chapter; all those concepts and ideas building up to this; I am far from knowing how this will all end, but I'll say that if "Given Time" keeps up what it's doing right now then I will be very happy, the intrigue remains great, some answers to old mysteries are being teased out bit by bit, and you finally get to enjoy this world and the various gameplay systems previously set up in "The Far Shore" in a way that I think needs the contrast of that 1st campaign to feel as powerful and meaningful as it does.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
However the overall theme and energy of the ost is not very exciting and much more calm and ambient, but still pretty good.
