The core gameplay of the Rites isn't sophisticated or enjoyable in the barest sense for how long the game is. They were already getting old when there were 15+ of them left to go. The visual novel elements didn't fare much better with neither the characters or world itself really appealing to me in any significant way. The choice to have a language unique to the game felt like a misfire when stellar voice acting is a Supergiant mainstay. The worst of their titles that I've played by a pretty big gap.
Started out boring as all heck, but it REALLY turned around in the end. Love the game :D
Occasionally a little slow, but Supergiant can write characters I care about more than any other single character. Pet all curs.
