What players say

7/10. A solid start to a 3-part journey that pays off very well later on (to both of which I gave a 9/10) While I know little about economy stuff, I love that it was just a backdrop for a more personal story - one that is more about the people rather than the economy itself. I love that despite their constant conflicts, the characters were just as compromising and empathetic - something that many stories often...
