“The story is very interesting; I find myself wanting to know the secrets of it, and every lore-relevant moment that I come across catches my attention.”
“The only problem is the story: it's poorly explained and has a lot of gaps in it, which is frustrating because there's potential for something bigger, lore-wise.”

“The characters are reasonably balanced between relatively sane and absolutely nuts; there's decent humor, but if you're looking for a coherent story, you won't really find it here.”
