“Story is cinematically presented and very engaging.”
“I didn't start to care about any of them, and the story (such as it is) doesn't seem to bear any real relationship with in-game events - things just pop up from time to time for us to watch, and that's what's happening now - apparently.”

“The main story is alright but not special.”
