What players say
You get to play as a dragon. That's already amazing on its own. Add in a great movement system, where you are encouraged to glide around, and wonderful art/music, and it becomes even better. Its exactly as long as it needs to be to tells its story and display the world, and I appreciate the developers for not dragging it out.
