This game is not for me.

Unlike most competitive sports games this game actually makes you want to get better.

The game time is the absolute PERFECT length. It isn't too long to make it seem like it is dragging and it is just long enough to make you say "just one more game."

What to say about this game?

First off I love the music. I could have just sat around listening to these tracks all day! I enjoyed the game and loved the story. I felt that the description of the game being "ground breaking" was a little much because it felt a lot like some of the other games where decision making affected your experience but with a "Juno" twist. I do have a few points to make real quick:

-I wish the character could run not just walk slightly faster

-This is less game and more storyline like a tv drama or a movie (not a complaint just an observation, I hope the next episode(s) feel a little less like I am watching a story and more like I am playing a game)

-I wish that time travel was a little more important but it is still early in the series

-The first episode is short. It is fun but be forewarned it is short.

-The characters so far seem well developed though a little sterotypical.

-Some other reviews didn't feel like it ran smooth or felt good while in the school hallways but I did not notice that.

Here is a like to my game session if you want to see what my experience looks like. http://www.twitch.tv/belshizor/c/6031452

Slow paced and tedious with a steep learning curve. I know several people that LOVE this game but it is not for everyone. It is free roaming and you can choose how you play to an extent but there is no real "path." You will spend most of your time flying slowly through space (even with SETA) than actually progressing. I do like the vastness of the game and it is beautiful to look at. I would recommend watching someone stream this game live or play it before you buy as it is NOT for everyone. Do not watch youtube videos on it because they will likely cut out all of the boring parts of it.

With all that said it IS a good game but requires a certain type of player to really enjoy it.
