7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story offers thoughtful world-building and engaging moments, balancing downtime with significant plot events, though some characters lack depth except for standout figures like the mom. It effectively integrates gameplay stats into the narrative and handles failure gracefully. Overall, it's a compelling, well-crafted story with weight and immersion comparable to a gripping TV series.
“An if where the stats matter and it pays to play to your strengths, but even failing something is handled well in the story.”
“The story too was interesting and well thought out.”
“Seriously good, a gripping story with weight, felt like a season of Vikings.”
“Would have preferred a story that centered the diaspora stronger.”
