The game is interesting, fun in spurts, has an excellent storyline, some cool mechanics and totally surprised me. I thought I was getting some lame dungeon crawler, and that is not what it is at all. However, right now I really want to finish it, but I find I'm having to force myself to play, which is never a good sign. This is a clear cut case of poor design decisions weighing down an excellent premise and storyline. Hopefully Meridian 4 can make better choices in their next title.
