At times, the storytelling was beautiful, and at other times, it seemed like it went on and on without purpose. Or, at least, I just didn’t really care as much as I wanted to. I’m not big into video games, so that could definitely be why.
I felt that the characters were realistic, and I appreciate that we got to see multiple sides of them over many years.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.
I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.
