“Where the game makes up for the lack of mechanics innovation is in the rich story.”
“I let myself get lost in the story, exploring every inch of the levels, and I found myself taking a deep interest in the details strewn about.”

“But if you don't like reading, or don't like that type of storytelling addition, then this probably isn't the game for you.”
“The game focuses on the story and gives you a handful of mechanics that aren't extraordinary but do the job and fit well.”
“The attention to detail given to every aspect of the game, story, and world makes me think everything was intentional.”
