The pacing screams “there are no rules,” and you can really appreciate what feels like a lack of formulaic game design in it.īut the writing is so incredibly poor.
Puzzles seem to come out of nowhere, and you switch control of characters at unexpected places. This is the antithesis of today’s open-world fever.
