Almost.
Indivisible is a labor of love. I cannot imagine how hard the development team worked on this, despite their relative size and resources. The art direction, animation, and controls are exquisite. Personality and atmosphere ooze from every orifice. Yet those qualities alone do not make for a gratifying experience. In Indivisible's case, the game has basic design issues preventing it from fufilling its premise. It was initially pitched as a hybrid between MetroidVania, platformer and RPG. In reality, it just feels like an overlong platformer with a better intrepretation of the combat system from Valkyrie Profile. The narrative also hamfists a lot of character development into small periods of time, along with providing minimal exposition. While the supporting cast mostly compliments the environment and tone, the main character Ajna is depicted unevenly. She begins as an unlikeable brat, remains more or less that way for two-thirds of the story, then transforms into someone entirely different. There are simply too bends in her arc for it to feel substantive. Thankfully this issue is somewhat mitigated by the polished voice acting. Ultimately, Indivisible is interesting but flawed.
