To borrow People of Note's tendency to treat everything in musical terms, the game is like attending a concert. The setlist has some crummy bits, and maybe it's not always the best version of what it could be. But even when People of Note struggles to know itself, it's still clear this game was forged with a vision to deliver something meaningful and distinct. And, sure, those efforts don't always hit the right note. But in a landscape littered with imitations and crowd pleasers, the effort itself is worth acknowledging and worthy of praise.
