Overall, the narrative effectively keeps players intrigued as they progress through quests and explore the environment.
- “Overall at this point in the game, I like it; it is enough to keep you on your toes without all the stress (though I did scream a time or two). We have made it past the 1st boss and completed all the quests that were asked of us, so we are excited to see what's next.”
