Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There are very few games based on politics and most tend to the statistical simulations vs the push and pull of who-you-know and who-to-help/gain future favor from horse trading that is politics (as opposed to policy) and this is the first/only game I've seen that does that and one that offers a pretty decent story and characters to boot. $5/episode is about the right price for the game given the current presentation level but I'd say the core game and ultimate the enjoyability of all is worth $10.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
5 Euro is a bit much for 2-3h of gameplay, even accounting for some presumable replay value thanks to multiple choices.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
But it’s interesting how they use a conversation system to replace combat which I love.
