This is not a game for someone who wants to deeply strategize and maximize every aspect of their play. Instead, the game combines very cool exploration and discovery with some puzzle solving to figure out where to go and what to do to deliver a great story. Over time, more and more background that has shaped the galaxy is revealed to you as you form your theories of just what the heck is going on. It has a really satisfying conclusion, good dramatic structure, and interesting (but light) gameplay to get you there. Overall, if you want story in service of gameplay, this isn't right for you, but if you want gameplay in service of great story, this *is* the game for you.
