But also short, so at this point I'm still like "Cool, the game is not pretending to be something that it's not. Let's get to the gameplay!" - For a moment, it feels great.

The story and characters are way out there but again so much fun.

The way this game’s combat system is set up might feel a little janky at times, but overall is fun & engaging in so many different ways.

One of the things that the game does really well is the atmosphere, soundtrack, and the tension that keeps you at the edge of your seat.
