The meta narrative isn't as interesting as it thinks it is, and it kind of dampens the experience after the first act, but its still a fun game.

Creativity at its finest while maintaining absolutely fantastic gameplay

I like it, but there's somehow always "but" with the things I like.

First of all, Magnificus was shafted for all the other scrybes favor. He's brought up as this mysterious figure from others, and you never get to know much more about him; which isn't a problem mostly for me (???) But when the end, final act is there, Magnificus is treated like an actual joke at the end? I know it's supposed to be some "awesome" battle probably but it's so jarring to watch Leshy plead for one more match to be hit in the face with a glorified yugi-oh battle.
TLDR; Magnificus is basically a wall-flower

The second, and I believe final gripe I have of this game is in the ARG, and it's a thing I've seen some other media I've come into contact do to make them story all the more "edgy"(??) And it's either for some reason adding Hitler or "the Russians", and Inscryption does BOTH. There was no point in needing to add that in the first place, it doesn't make your story any more impactful, and in my opinion it more or so just makes it worse.
