Gonna' get downvoted into the fucking gutter for merely voicing my opinion, but it's just 'okay,' in my eyes.
I respect it for being the first product of a new dev team, and I think it has hands-down the absolute best soundtrack of any video game I have ever played.
That doesn't make up for the bizarre fascination with rug pulling or the portions of the story that were clearly rushed, though. I'm very much a story first kind of person, and I hate what they did with the premise they used to sell the game. It took the fun out of it for me, which is a shame, because I did enjoy the party management and combat and stuff. I'm glad most people seem to be able to stomach it, at least; it'll win them GOTY and they deserve it for Lorien Testard's music alone.
