Saw Nova on the cover. Couldn't resist. Nova's Ship is a wonderful tale. While I was only able to play for an hour, getting to meet its wonderfully unique cast and dive into the seas as Captain Drake was a whole lot of fun. I giggled quite a lot at nearly every single interaction Drake had with the crew. And Tzihuactlayahuallohuatzin's design is very cool!
Like koko mentioned, some VA lines were quiet, particularly those of Sandy's. I had to lower my music and ambience volume and raise voice to maximum. But it wasn't bothersome enough to deter my enjoyment! Well done to everyone on the team!
