While not a terribly robust game, it still manages to make its predecessors look like a tech demo. A lot of the lulzy internet humor still remains but it's far and away the most genuinely written game in the series--characters that were once joke machines finally get some nice depth. The resource system feels significantly more well refined than before and feels far less like a frustrating shot in the dark, meeting a good balance between clear matters of inference and strategy but not to the point that you can exploit the game to overly slant your stats.

Not astonishing but a good place for the series to head--was very nice to score with Polly Geist one last time, and as implied above, the best written iteration of her too!
