Incredible storytelling and characterization, gorgeous environments, but...

The gameplay is lifeless. The movement and combat feels both too simple and underbaked. The sound design is rough, with lots of dialogue overlapping or cutting early. The cues often aren't lined up and the music often felt inappropriate to the moment. Everywhere I went, I was stubbing my toe on tiny pieces of jank.

If you just want the story and characters, that's here and the gameplay won't stop you from enjoying that. But personally, I need the gameplay to connect with the world.
