Just finished this game last night. I would give it a 5 or 6 at best. The narration doesn't have the same weight as in Bastion, the story is dull and the ending was supposed to be emotional, but it ends up being an overused twist and one that doesn't make any sense.
And I still don't understand the combat system completely, it's confusing as hell. Though I have to say the last battle was fun, albeit short.
I think the "8 score streak" from Gamespot was caused by removing the halfs in the score system. For example, let's say Kevin wanted to give this game a score of 7.5, but then changed his mind and decided to give it 8.5. An 8 was the only possible score, because 7 was too low and 9 was too high. That's happening a lot in this site.
Nick Capozzoli, the best reviewer on this site today, in my humble opinion. By the way, this game really sucks. I played for about half an hour and couldn't bear anymore.
