This by all means wasn't a bad game. It was quite amusing, actually.
This just didn't have the same spirit as the games it's a prequel to.
The main character was fun, but the story felt rushed. The sequels are obviously mentioned, but they felt like they were too blatantly cited.
This is obviously supposed be how the first council was set up but a lot of details were missing.
(Spoiler - click to show)We follow some quirky teenager who's the head of gang who gets kidnapped and then finds a way back to her home station and ends up becoming leader of the planet. It just doesn't make sense.
It doesn't have any real themes either. Just get back home. That's your mission.
Also that maze was impossible without a walkthrough.
I feel so much more could've gone into this. I'm usually a fan of quirkier stories, but this one didn't impress me.
If it was just a standalone story, sure, but being a prequel to two obviously fantastic stories sets the bar pretty high. I unfortunately finished this game disappointed.
