“The battles and cutscenes are super polished, visually, so it feels pretty good to go through the story beats.”
“Wacky characters and plot points are introduced with no warning, but it does it in a way that feels consistent with the rules of this whimsical universe, and by the end it goes to great lengths to connect all the dots.”
“The game feels massive and dense, telling a comprehensive and complete story in some 20-30 hours.”
“Add in all the ridiculous plot devices and logic you would use if you were a 5-year-old boy playing with toys, and you get some semblance of the tone of the story.”
“I understand these games are meant to be story-driven, but there is such a thing as too much dialogue, not enough gameplay.”
