Value: B+

Pro's:

Con's:
-...That suffer's from sometimes subpar telling
- game gets incredibly easy later on (for the most part)
- The Game tells you that wou will not be able to do certain things without paying additional Money (saying that there is a card game at first, and then throwing an "will be coming via DLC" is just terribly teasing)
