    • “Great story, lots of freedom, choices really count.”
    • “It's a fun superhero story featuring quirky characters and plenty of meaningful choice and character development potential.”
    • “With a minimum of railroading on Moser's part or conscious effort on mine, my wholesomely heroic character (think Steve Rogers at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger) was developing a cynical streak and confronting powerful temptations while still striving to cleave to his ideals, and I was so immersed in the story and character that, looking back, I have a keener memory of watching him struggle than of actually being the one making the decisions.”
    • “The way his storyline was resolved simply felt contrived, as a character I've played as fairly sensible decided to do something monumentally stupid for no evident reason other than the plot said so.”
    • “Like how and why did you have me go through all of those side missions then?”
    • “While less control over the story path, I found the second installment to be a whole lot better than the first.”
