It's a fine game, but overall didn't enjoy the actual soccer matches too much. The overworld was way more engaging than I anticipated, even though the writing of the game was more miss than a hit.
I really liked the long-form player progression system. The way the quests tie seamlessly with the player abilities encouraged me to try new things constantly. I got more out of the story and environment then I was expecting. Overall would definitely recommend as it's the sum of its many good parts.
I see Dino Patti all over this game, and as a result, I can't help but compare it to Limbo and Inside. While Somerville's puzzles are clever at times, they can be equally monotonous. The aesthetic is probably the strongest element of the game, but I still finished left wanting more.
Where it ultimately fell flat was the lackluster story and an inability to really reach the highs that I've come to expect from this style of game. Though the ending I got was very underwhelming, I believe there is more to the story. I just didn't enjoy the game enough to engage with it further.
