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?
for voice acting i really recommend setting the audio to a dub in a different language and using english subtitles. I haven't tried the french audio but I've been using the german one and I've found that the voice acting and tone is much more appropriate and natural sounding in most of the contexts.
Actually, that's a good point.
Pro gamer move.
