It's worth a try if you've never played a narrative roleplaying game with an AI before, but it's definitely not perfect. In fact, if you haven't played it yet stop reading this review and come back after a few hours of playing it. It's free! After the 2 to 4 day honeymoon period wears off you start to notice the AI's limitations and tendencies. Most annoying is how stubborn it is. The AI hates explaining things or going into detail about things. It will give you the beginnings of a quest or story element but then can't really follow through. One example was when I was told someone wanted to speak with me. I asked where this person was and the AI gave an in-character reason why it didn't know. So I asked someone else and they sent me to a nearby watch-tower. The person wasn't there. Those who were there said they hadn't seen him in weeks. They don't know where he went.... How am I supposed to continue this? Lastly, it claims that its premium AI model cranks the intelligence and power up to 11 but on my free trial of it I noticed no difference. In fact, for something that would normally cost $10 a month, I noticed quite a bit of issues (that are completely understandable when it's free). I think it eventually will be worth that price, but it was a ways to go!

It's good enough, but at times can drag on or feel too dense. If you're dying to read more about the Iron Warriors get it. Otherwise there are better stories. Before reading this novel I remember seeing a review that mentioned how intricate McNeill's descriptions of the siege warfare and other battles are. I didn't think that sounded that crazy or different from other 40k books. I've read the first 6 Horus Heresy novels, and a sprinkling of other 40k books and decided to give this one a try as I heard it's one of the few that focus on the "bad guys" instead of the Imperium. While it definitely does spend a considerable amount of time focusing on the Iron Warriors chaos space marines, it's more a split down the middle between them and the Imperial Guard. And wow... that is a lot of information on siege tactics and terminology. If you're not already familiar, you might want to brush up on terminology about trench warfare, siegecraft, and other military terms. It's definitely dense and sometimes that's to it's detriment. I occasionally felt confused about what McNeill was describing but just soldiered on because it frankly isn't SUPER important to the story. Bad guys shoot at good guys. Good guys die, but not all of them. Good guys shoot back. etc etc I think the best parts of the story were when the story zoomed in and focused on a specific person (good or bad) like Hawke or Honsou. The only bad thing, is that most of the book is about grand, sweeping assaults on the main fortress instead of those individual conflicts. Like mentioned at the top, read this book if you like the Iron Warriors, Imperial Guard, or even Titan war machines!

本当に素晴らしい Truly a work of art. From it's killer opener "Sparkle" to its slower paced songs like "Your Eyes" and even the album cover art by Eizin Suzuki, For You fills you will happiness, love, and City Pop energy! While some western English speaking audiences might steer more towards his English album Big Wave, I personally think this is the perfect introductory album to Yamashita's music and a textbook example of peak City Pop.
