About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, atmospheric sci‑fi adventure with big ideas and striking visuals, closer in mood to War of the Worlds than a jokey action romp; Not for you if you need fast pacing or game-faithful Final Fantasy.
Pros: striking CGI visuals; eerie phantom concept; thoughtful sci-fi themes | Cons: thin story; flat characters; slow, talky stretches
