Its great. You meet treasure hunters who share artifacts with the cultures they're from so that those cultural leaders can decide what to do with them. You help a character come to terms with their gender identity. You encourage people to build community in more than just a "we can win with the power of friendship" kinda way. I'm only on the first half of the game too.
It reviewed kinda mid but honestly these touches have totally sold me. It's actually feels like the writers of this game were a multicultural group of people who put thought into making it inclusive.
Is anyone else playing? Is this the experience others are having? Is all this based-ness why people are review bombing it?
They actually added specific conversation options in specific moments if you're trans or non binary. I couldn't believe it. Like they explicitly call out that's why you have those conversation options.
And then they didn't fuck up the execution of those options.
I'm just amazed a TRIPPPLE AAA GAME could manage something like that
