Indeed. Everyone at the studio has been stunned by the excellent reception. It's pretty rare for a new IP from a new studio to launch to such high regard. Even
Penny Arcade bashed a negative review from Kotaku.
So far I've been enjoying the final copy. I made the credits for helping out on the final balance pass of the game, and it's been interesting to see some of the changes made towards the end of production. I didn't complete it back then, and have managed to avoid spoilers, so I'm eager to see how it ends.
