Going into this game with the right expectations is important, there are far less branching paths/puzzles/stealth segments compared to the demo. There is also a fairly large shift in story/genre midway through, and I understand why people find that jarring.

However as a narrative and aesthetic experience, I liked this game a lot. It explores some heavy social and philosophical themes and left a strong impression on me. I definitely would consider playing through it again, as well as buying future games set in the backbone universe.
