    I've enjoyed the game so far, although it feels like one specific strategy is vastly superior to everything else. Hoping the addition of a couple of expansion packs will allow for other strategies to become viable.

    I thought it served as a good re-introduction to many of the established characters and a couple of the recurring gags.
    As others have mentioned they leaned maybe a little to hard on the cancellation/reboot joke, though it didn't bother me, overall a solid first episode.

    I was especially impressed by the voice work. I found pretty much all the characters sounded very close, if not spot on, to the way i remembered them. The only glaring exception being Nixon whose voice seemed to lack a little bit of "oomph".

    I've been slowly working my way through the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.
    Currently on Reaper's Gale which is book 7 out of 10, so I've still go a ways to go. I started the series after finishing the released books in ASOIAF, and it has really scratched that itch for a highly interconnected story/world with multiple PoV characters.
