Cool gameplay and graphics but this game is too self aware and embarrassed about what it is. It becomes insufferable with how many times they subvert your expectations out of fear of playing into tropes or cliches. It happens so often that it is just subverting for the sake of subverting, and leads to the game feeling narratively weightless. None of the characters are very good and the character design feels like it was solely made to inspire fan-art and head-canon to give them characterization.

Ironically, the more they subvert and self-reference tropes, the more generic and cliche they are. Except, those cliches only display a lack of confidence in your own abilities.
