The plot tried to go a lot of places and consequently went nowhere. The reader is shown a lot of interesting characters and are only really able to get to know a very small subset. The endings I've encountered all felt abrupt.Even though I played the previous game in the craftverse I still found myself with a bunch of information unceremoniously dumped in my lap and I found myself still consulting the little codex on the system screen halfway through the game.Your character, despite being a whole new one who's personality is largely subject to your whims, is once again a craftswoman\/man working for a morally ambiguous organization.The atmosphere has gotten a Western touch up, whether that is a plus or minus is up to you.Though I bought this at 25% off right when it released I'm still not happy with it.tl;dr maybe get it if you wanna support CoG in general. If you haven't played Choice of Deathless just do that instead.Let's cross our fingers for the next Heroes Rise.. First off, if you're thinking of buying this game and have not watched to above trailer, do it now. It's the best explanation of what you can expect. When steam said, "Hey! Write a review for your games!" and I ran across this one, I realized there is no good way of explaining it.The game is a lot of fun, even if it's very hard to figure out how to get all of the endings and branches (there's a murder, still don't know who did it). The setting can get a bit deep, and you should definately start with Choice of the Deathless first, it explains the background a bit better. The story, however, is pretty good. It reminds me of those old Johnny Dollar serials. It's adventure packed, but at the end of the day, you're a legal consultant for a corporation. The juxaposition is pretty good.. It's not that I recommend the game, but as you can't leave neutral reviews, I didn't want it to be negative. There's no technical shortcomings to the game, and it's proficiently interactive where you can enact your will on the game quite visibly (Though it was a tad bit on the short side in terms of length.)My problem is more in the way that the game is written in a way that's not friendly to people who are unfamiliar with the craft sequence world, of which I have not read a book of. It's intimidating and complex, and it doesn't ease you into it, or explain itself enough. If you've already played through the other game in this series, "Choice of the Deathless," without issue, then this won't be a problem either, as I can say my experience with that was very similar to what it was here.. This game was not in the least bit what I expected. With selling points like "Look for love in extremely wrong places!" I thought I was getting into a highly excentric and humourous tale-- instead I got a political and stressful hot mess. Don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoyed this game. But damn. I was not prepared for some of those choices. Would you rather save your city from a drought at the price of displacing a whole farming community or see prices sky-rocket causing economic destruction to defend the land-rights of a small village? Even if the choice is easy at first, characters will spend the rest of the game guilting you about whatever you chose and telling you how wrong you are. Unless you adapt a pure evil attitude, the decisions you make will not come easily. The game does well with giving situations that are not black and white, but rather have both rewards and consequences. The plot and characters are interesting; you are sometimes thrust into relationships and sometimes have them grow slowly. Your integity is constantly tested, and it seems impossible to remain humble.Now I do have a few qualms with the game-- the story doesn't always flow easily. Certain situations feel disjointed and take you a while to understand because you didn't choose the option that gave the thourough explanation. The politics of this fictional society can be outright confusing, and the game won't always spell it out-- so occationally you make choices based on what you *think* is happening, simply because you don't quite understand. Despite this, I still enjoyed the story. The second problem I have is that the stat system seems rather pointless-- perhaps you see more benefit with it with multiple playthroughs, but otherwise it doesn't seem to do much. (Update: several playthroughs later, I still do not see the point of the stat system. I think it's just for show.)All in all, I think it's fun. Well worth its low asking price. It took me nearly three hours to get through it. It can be very funny at points, it's quite engaging and definitely makes you think.. Lot to like about this game. Heavily influenced by Chinatown and the works of Hammett and Chandler. A few transitions in the story aren't quite clearly explained by the narration but your choices carry weight. I enjoyed it a lot and I'll be replaying it.. I've liked this COG moreso than recent ones, only because not all the choices in the game were binary "good\/bad" decisions. I struggled for a bit to make two particuar decisions in the game, that I did regret to some degree, regardless of the outcome. I really enjoy the Deathless lore and would like to see more stories in this universe.
