I'm a big fan of reviews. I read them here, there, everywhere, and I enjoy to see what other people got out of different games. I've read a lot of revies of Nobilis...both fanboy raves and system hating rants.
This review does a good job of encompassing both sides, I must say.
There's just one thing I was disappointed in...the depth. Saint, you touch on a lot of important topics and then breeze over it. If I didn't know what the game was like already I would have left the review feeling a bit empty.
For example, we know the characters are divine...but what do they do? What conflicts exist? What's the theme of the game? What are some of the details of hte world? Just what are the characters capable of?
You whet the apetite with this review, but never deliver the meal.
Now, I'm by no means the god-king of reviewers, but I just thought I'd point this out. I've enjoyed all your other reviews, Saint, and this one has a lot of potential but ultimately never delivers a real punch.
I mean no offense by such a critique, but just wanted you to be aware in future reviews.
