I could NOT stop playing this last night, getting over 4 hours in and on Chapter 5. I unlocked a new party member, lots of great cards that let me already sort of define a role for a given character, and am pleased with normal difficulty for being tough but fair. I had a few close calls, but using consumables got me up and running again, which is nice as I normally just hoard/never use consumables in games like this.
I agree about the combat music, but I tend to find that’s true of every game I’ve ever played, so I usually turn the music off. I just keep forgetting to do it here. This is the kind of game I’d play with Netflix on but it looks so good on my TV I haven’t played undocked much so far.
I am enjoying the characters as much as I did in Dig and Heist - which is to say, the writing is fine and they are fine, but I’m only here for the gameplay. This is generally true for me for every game though. And I’m finding the gameplay here incredibly absorbing and fun.
