The game tells a story, a bad one, in a cliche and poor way that totally disregards player actions.
Man, that War of the Worlds was a sucky novel. Most of the time, the protagonist had no say in the main arc of the story - he was buffeted by a global disaster he had little or no control over, and struggled merely to survive and help those around him.
Wait, was Pandemic Legacy a novel? Shit that changes everything! Here I was thinking that I was playing a game and that my actions were supposed to mean something. I didn't realize I was just reading a book.
Well now that I know I was just reading a novel that I had no control over or agency to affect the story, I can say it was.....n't a very good book. The dialogue was pretty good and the characters were entertaining, but the plot line was overdone and the twists were expected. It's what I would expect from a beginner author for a first attempt but from a seasoned best-selling veteran of the trade I would expect a little better.
