I'm nearing the end but this game is the literal definition of style over substance.
Like, aesthetically and visually the game has so much going for it, but the actual game tacked on to that is often just a bit of a drag. It has that floaty, imprecise feeling of when you have a fake game within a game that is meant to be a throwaway Easter egg. It weirdly seems like its trying to emulate the feel of classic 16-bit era games while also layering complex, modern control schemes over the top, as well as mixing in an artstyle that, while impressive, often isn't particularly clear or readable.
And, as pretty much everyone has said, the story is extremely weak and way too verbose. I haven't seen the ending yet but I feel I have to ask - is the creator in the game meant to be the actual, real life lead designer? I did a quick Google and there's a passing similarity, but if that's the case it adds an extra level of bleurgh if this is a game about beings worshipping him and his greatness as their God.
