Was more conflicted about this when it came out, in retrospect despite digging everything it's doing aesthetically I just don't think it works - the UI gets in the way of the combat being readable and the writing is on-the-nose in a way that was already dated in 2021 and probably comes off even worse in 2024. There's some decent character beats and I have a lot of empathy for what Love was trying to do here but I don't think she was particularly successful. Between this and Don't Take It Personally it may just be the case that Love is not great at overtly topical writing.
