What players say
Players say the writing is sharp but the story feels rushed and the ending is anti-climactic. It helps to have played Choice of the Deathless or read the Craft Sequence books, because the game dumps a lot of lore without easing newcomers in. Choices carry weight, but the plot is less focused than the first game, and some found the experience ultimately unsatisfying.
