I just finished it and loved it! I’m not sure if I’ll go as far as to call it a classic but I enjoyed my time with it. I loved the loop mechanic in this case because it didn’t get in the way of exploring (like it did for me in Outer Wilds which I wanted to like but I just couldn’t deal with the reset loop every 20 min.). I liked the story and the non-linearity and the way it flows. Maybe people that expect complex puzzles or deductions will be disappointed because I think that as long as you talk to everyone and pay attention things will get solved easily, but it’s still does a good job of making me feel clever.

I have mixed feelings about the ending though The “best” ending where you save everyone and confront the god of the Underworld. I’m not sure I liked the fact that you confront and actual “god”. I half expected a clever twist to explain everything but it was ok I guess, I did like debating the morality of the Golden Rule with him. And bringing all the inhabitants to the modern times felt weird as well, it was nice to see them one last time and everything but it just felt off, like can we really expect people from ancient Rome to adapt to modern society so easily?

I found it was a great game.
The things that I did not like:

- There is no map, and it is difficult to get a mental map in your head.
- The parts that are underground are dark; I like to be under an open sky :-)
- The fights that you have to so. It is not difficult (even I succeeded), but I simply do not llike it.

The integral replayability: yes, I do like!
But somehow, I did not like it enough to complete all endings. I know the last ending, that I did not play, but it is enough for me now.
