While some find the plot lacks consistency and can feel linear at times, the character interactions and choices enhance the overall experience. Overall, the game is well-received for its enjoyable storytelling and artistic presentation, despite some critiques regarding its compelling nature.
“Great characters and frankly, who doesn't love a good sci-fi story in space!”
“There is a great deal of material and detail available which allows the player to deduce further details and clues about the story universe based on what has already been found or learned as they progress through the story, pointing to the creators' good handle on the universe that their story creates and their care for their product.”
“Truthfully, my only wish would be for this already very large game to have even more content, not because it is lacking but rather because of the desire to follow the story even further.”
“The story isn't compelling from start to finish.”
“I don't know what they have to do with the game so far, as in how the story changes.”
“The debt quest basically solves itself.”
