Don't be fooled by the screenshots - this looks more arcane than it actually is. It's a tightly-designed, fresh take on the adventure puzzler. The combat is snappy and dynamic, but forgiving. The puzzles are rich, even if a bit top-heavy - you might often walk into a room and mumble "oh jesus" until you make sense of the noise. The dialogue is stunningly well-written; if you've spent time in MMOs, there's a lot of smart jokes and banter to catch. I even found myself invested in the story.

80 hours in, I did eventually get bored and never beat the game. The puzzles and dungeon combat just became too much of a chore. I knew what I needed to do and how to beat them, but felt exhausted when I walked into another huge room full of triangular blocks waiting for me to route a pinball for an hour. that's okay, though. I still had a blast with this game and feel glad for the time I spent with it.
