What players say

Players describe a heartfelt, character-driven story with a surprising mix of comedy and tearjerker moments. The turn-based combat uses timed hits and special power bars, though some find it simple and enemy spawns tedious. A few reviewers are put off by what they call 'woke' elements, while others praise the game's honest handling of loss and personal growth.
