- “The gameplay loop is enjoyable; I've been having a great time just exploring in the story mode.”

- “As for my thoughts on the story, there isn’t anything particularly wrong with it per se, it acts as a good setup and basis around the entire events like most RPGs should be, but the main issue I have with it is that the character you’re playing as, at least at the start of the game, showcases that they have more knowledge of the world and the events transpiring in general than the player actually does.”
- “The presentation of the story would have been better if the main character learned about the world and story and the effects it would have on the world as the player did, to make the player feel more like the character was their character.”

- “Mind you, I was playing with light quality at medium; setting it to high tanks the performance further, which is kind of shocking. At a glance, this doesn’t appear to be that complex a game from the technical standpoint.”
