Unbelievably bad writing. I can't stress it enough, it's baffling that this quality of dialogue was allowed to come to pass at all. I'm enjoying the gameplay and dreading the cutscenes, because every other line brings immeasurable amounts of disappointment. Maybe it gets better. But I'm 13 hours in and my hope is all but lost.

Combat is fun. Exploration is enjoyable. Gameplay loop consists of exploration, combat, and puzzles. Puzzles might outstay their welcome at some point, but so far, despite there being just a couple set types of puzzles, the variety I've encountered keeps them somewhat fresh.

This is a very competent and polished game when it comes to gameplay, accessibility and quality of life features, and technical state. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it at all, because for a story driven game, the writing is not just utterly incompetent, it's bad beyond salvation and any reasonable being in charge of it should have vetted it in all of its entirety. But somehow no one did.
