Fair review, except this part. Those collectibles tell the story of the characters, and every character specific level gives us additional info about the character's disturbing past. It's kinda minimalistic, yes, but there are storis in the game. 7 small stories for the 7 characters. Storytelling can be other than having a long storyarc which starts at the beginning and finishes at the end of the game.

It's been sitting on my HD but I haven't played the game yet -- and am not expecting anything other than "fun." All told, I don't mind financially contributing to someone who entertained the shit out of me when I was a kid, and in the current gaming climate I feel almost honor-bound to support his experiments.
Anything made with some passion is probably going to beat out a solid 95% of what I could be playing instead. That goes even for things I know aren't "for me" and will admittedly never play. Great gameplay is rare, passable gameplay more common than admitted here, and cohesion, attention to detail, and charm (of one type or another) usually get the final say with me. I can play almost anything, as long as it's not plain fucking hollow (or the mechanics and engine behavior are explicitly awful, which is honestly pretty rare -- at least in games we'd notice.)
This strikes me as the kind of game which could use some level-headed dissenters 'round these parts, so if I do indeed enjoy it, expect analysis. Otherwise, expect a one-word reply; likely a cuss.
