The storytelling was somewhat jumbled. (Gaming)

There were several things going on that could have been very poignant, but they fought each other for screen time more than they cooperated to create a greater whole.
The pacing was also pretty weak. Start and finish aside, it was less "carefully-shaped narrative" than "sequence events causally connected by a plot." And the gameplay didn't do much to help here; it didn't ebb and flow and dance and do funny business in a way which added shape to the game's progression.
