Full disclosure: this is not an unbiased review because it's coming from the music composer for the game, but here we go anyway.

I remember watching the game as it was being developed, and ever since I first learned of it, I was hooked. My self-admitted love of reptiles aside, I've always been one to prefer adventure games, and while this genre doesn't encompass all of the gameplay, it was a pleasant surprise seeing a seemingly-successful game that acknowledges it in this day and age. After the first chapter of the game, a good chunk of it is in the point of view of Brok's stepson trying to pass his exams, and that in mind, adventure-preferring gamers like myself may find themselves more at home when playing as him.

This is not to say the beat-em-up aspects I dislike, however: on the contrary, I appreciate the game's use of moderation between both well-established genres of gameplay: it's never too overwhelming for someone who prefers against violence, especially thanks to the difficulty levels, the easiest giving you the choice to skip action sequences, and if you do choose to become violent, there are story-based consequences for that. The story also gets a bit dark, especially later on in the game, but I'm fairly sure other people of many ages will appreciate all the same.

Overall, well done to CowCat and everyone on the team for pulling off such an impressive feat!
