I'm not quite sure why I finished the game. The stealth was boring, and the combat felt wimpy. The magic vision view distance is painfully low unless you keep deactivating and activating it again for the initial scan effect. Sadly, even that feels pretty unresponsive because of a slightly too long/poorly indicated cooldown. The setting sounds very cool on paper but ends up being mostly uninspired high-tech corridors and monolithic stone palaces. The plot felt like a series of check lists, it would've been a bigger surprise if the "big twist" hadn't been there, and the emotional beats about dead family members were lifeless.

I wanted to like the game, but after finishing it, all I had in my head was a list of complaints.
