Some initial thoughts and impressions as I get started: -The intro segment was rough. There's a lot of exposition, lore dumping, and world building that is slow and drawn out, and takes control away from the player. It was a drag and I couldn't wait for it to be over. -The setting and world is interesting, but I wish they'd let you dive in a lot faster and let the player make mistakes or learn the game at their own pace.

  • I don't know if I'll ever adjust to the tank controls. -Studio Ghibli animations as charming as ever. It does a lot to give the world life. -The clunky load times and slow animations are unfortunate.
