I really enjoyed the gameplay, and obviously it’s a beautiful game which felt mechanically complex and a little over my head, but I would have enjoyed learning it.
I say would have, because I found it absolutely painful to get through due to the voice acting and dialogue writing. Something about it feels so much like that very specific kind of humour used in a lot of pop culture American podcasts (or at least, that’s where I encounter it), where everything deserves some kind of smarmy quip, and any expression of any emotion is dialled up all the way, and there’s little winks in every sentence.
If anybody reading this likes that kind of thing, absolutely no hate towards you at all, but it’s really not for me. I turned the game off mid dialogue multiple times. I ended up playing like 80-100hrs I think because I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn’t get over it sadly.
Ah I’m not really familiar with his work. I stopped going to see the big budget movies when it became clear that they were all going to be “He’s behind me, isn’t he?”-fests composed of 90% CGI and way too much Chris Pratt.

JJ Abrams did star trek, right?
Youve nailed it on the head! And yes.
