- “A fun story based on the Superman trope. While I will say the romance aspect of this story is a bit lacking, the other elements are good!”
- “The characters were interesting and complemented the plot nicely (I love Poppet), although I do feel it leaned a bit too heavily into the common superhero tropes.”
- “Nevertheless, I'm more than happy with the way the story ended: there's some clear space for a very welcome sequel, but it more than avoids the cliffhanger pitfalls other games have been falling into lately.”
- “Yet I could not even finish this story.”
- “It is so boring and bland, and the names of the characters and story are such that I wonder if the writer even read a comic before.”
- “In addition to all this, the story forces players to make decisions with only the flavor of the response being different.”
