This game definitely deserves more than a 6. How much more, I can't say yet since I've only sunk a couple hours into it. But in those couple hours, I've had a blast. My only reservation to throwing it an 8-9/10 is that there's a LOT of simultaneous micro-missions, which is a little difficult to keep up with. That being said, the way they tie in multiple angles of the story is fantastic. The variation of managing 3-4 characters at a time allows for breaks from the repetition and is refreshing. Of course, one of the most important things that makes this game awesome wasn't even mentioned in the review...which I'm not surprised about....the MUSIC! The synthwave soundtrack really sets the mood, and is always a welcome genre for me. I feel like if retro-style music doesn't strike a chord with you (pun intended), then a retro-style game is probably going to appear lackluster to you as well.
