Tragic stories amid fetch quests
The story is a prologue to a supposedly greater adventure and takes about 15 hours on a completionist run because of back and forth fetch-questing. You are sent on fetch quests, some of which you can't even complete until the main quest progresses. Minus 1 star for tricking me repeatedly. In spite of the annoying gameplay loop, I think it's worth playing because of the compelling lore and characters. The game contains mature themes of murder, alcoholism, it can get very dark at times underneath it's very cute appearance and it tackles them responsibly. Well except for the monty python quoting frog... I'll try to adress issues/bugs mentioned in other reviews: - the game never crashed once on my win10 980ti pc - I did clip through the map once but the game detected, reset Tilo and wrote a message to report the bug if it persists - dialogue got stuck but was fixed by restart from save - the ending "battle" is just about planning the path and distance to place an explosive charge, which you have done a few times already - the ending is not a cliffhanger, this was just the tale of an escape. but I can see people being dissapointed by not getting the macguffin. this is very clearly lampshaded by Tilo, who realizes that nothing was as it seemed - you can choose your build between a scurrying, a sneaking or a slow-moving invulnerable armored mouse and switch between them. considering abilities, stats and inventory I would define this as role-playing - you jump around, time actions and can unlock secret passages through the environment. I would define this as action I recommend it because it's a massive world considering the size of the team and it is beautifully crafted. The tragic backstories revealed, the phobias, the regrets and the flawed characters grow on you. And, by the end, in such a dangerous world, you feel an R.R. Martin massacre looming. This is why I don't think it warrants a sequel. So please give it a chance, it might surprise you.
