I love that the game lets you pick superpowers! But the story is clunky. There's too much going on and decisions don't matter. The story won't let you figure things out on your own, it tells everything. And if you don't have certain powers, you miss out. The butterfly hero instantly puts you jail if you don't have enough psychic stats. I would like it more if there was a clearer story to follow and less filler; a lot of watching TV and staying home.

The writing is pretty bad. Awkward, wordy, overly lengthy, and unnatural dialogue is the first thing that stuck out to me, making it hard to get any emotional attachment to the characters, positive or negative, right off the bat. The general story and descriptions lack a flow and feel all over the place. I feel that the writing lacks it's own distinct voice. The power mechanics in the game are honestly very cool but don't make up for the writing.

It's okay - that's all I can really say for it. There's a lot of different paths you can choose, but to be blunt, it's almost too many and decisions start to feel like a chore after a while. Even then I didn't think certain dialogue options were suited to my character. The combat system is a bit dull but not the worst thing I've seen. I feel as though this game could greatly benefit from a more linear story, with a strong path set to achieving your goals rather than repeated micromanagement.
