It’s a decision based game like the tell tale series games. I played the demo and it seemed pretty funny.

I'm debating on getting it once I get done with Pharoah (never finished it when it first came out, bought the re-mastered version a month ago).

I had money in my steam account so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

The writers have done a good job with it. I laugh at the interactions and dialogue a lot. It’s your typical tell tale style where you are making choices, a few puzzles some occasional mouse sliding in combat. I have enjoyed it as a break from all the button mashing and joystick games.

They are releasing 2 episodes every Wednesday morning. Only 4 released so far.

Does the purchase cover all episodes or are those considered DLCs/expansions?

I picked it up yesterday.

It's a cartoon (Invincible art style) with some choices which can matter later with a slight RPG aspect (leveling up your heroes as you send them on missions) and a "hacking" mini-game.

The story and characters are engaging, but everything is set within a very linear timeline (meaning only a very finite amount of times to level your heroes and yourself). I wouldn't mind seeing the timer on conversational choices doubled (or removed). The conversations between the characters during missions helps the game to feel more "alive" but makes me wonder how locked in those responses are or if (like BG3) there are TONS of interactions you get only from multiple playthroughs.

Above all, the game is fun but that fun mostly comes from the story itself. Just like streaming a good series when the entire season (or at least most of it) is dumped at once, it's over too quickly and leaves you wanting more. There are still more episodes to come, but I was able to go through what's currently available in about 4-5 hours (with interruptions).

Addendum: It also interested me to a song intro I can only classify as "Angry Julia Childs on Coke and LSD".



I find the intro endlessly hilarious for some reason.

Covers everything from what I can tell. I have played every episode when it drops. Played through what’s available twice already to see how different choices affect the game. Subtle differences so far but I imagine as the game progresses you will see previous decisions alter outcomes.

I'm hoping there are enough episodes to really expand the character abilities a bit, or at least some aspect of play is introduced that allows some free-play (but considering the game, I doubt this happens).

I just need a bit more improvement opportunities.

I am guessing it will end with getting back in the suit and defeating Toxic and Shroud with a little help from your team maybe.

Fun couple of episodes last night, they've done a really good job with the story thus far.

I wish the powers overlay at the beginning of the mission showed you what was needed instead of having to guess.

Totally agree about the powers overlay.

I've played the first two chapters, but then held off debating if I should play the next few or wait until the entire game is out.

Thinking I'll probably catch up over the weekend. It's a fun game.

FYI: The comic does fill in some blanks about events that the protagonist is not present to see, so if people are curious how certain things became part of the story that's something that can help fill in the blanks.
