I think this is the best review that you've yet chosen to post here, Nightfire, and I'm not really sure what I might look for in some other review that isn't offered here. The game doesn't sound like it would necessarily by my cup of tea (though I could probably enjoy playing through it, somewhat), but I can see why you arrived at the score you did and I'm even inclined to agree with your conclusion that the industry can use more games of this sort. The industry, after all, can use more games of just about every sort...

I completely agree. The video game medium has the potential to do just about anything, and yet it usually defaults to predictable formulas that can be easily monetized (such as first person shooters, RTS, MOBAs, etc).

That's why I'm so intrigued by the recent resurgence of indie games. Cutting-edge stuff keeps showing up and doing very well for itself, despite the fact that it is overshadowed by "big" releases from studios with huge marketing departments (FTL: Faster Than Light is a perfect example of this).
