Great, fun experience of a game with a pretty entertaining story and a solid cast. I felt lost as much as one would with a time travel story. I'm assuming that a huge chunk of the world-building was through the collectible intel and stuff, but that was a bit too much and the long, winding ones from random characters I found myself just collecting but skipping past.

The episodes were what initially turned me off from this when I first tried this a couple of years ago, but I regret that now that I picked this up again. At first, I thought I would have preferred to play those scenes out in game format, much like how we played as Serene in the Junction chapters, but during the second episode, I realized that it was enjoyable as is. There's nothing quite like witnessing the thrill of a twist in an uninterrupted episodic format (as long as it didn't stop to buffer, which it did for me in later parts, damn ISP).

But yeah, all in all a fun game. But WTF is that final battle, gods I have not cursed at a boss fight that much in so long.
