There seems to be a pattern about games with female protagonists, in that regardless of quality they are almost universally doomed to fail.

You can make her a souless unlikeable shrew (Wet), fun

I very much enjoyed this review, and it has some very good analysis of Trip's role in the game. As much as I ended up liking and appreciating her role in the story, there was something decidedly.... off with the whole headband thing. Although you'll have to lump me in with the people who found Monkey telling her to turn it back on touching- there was such a wealth of subtext behind that moment. Either he doesn't trust himself not to run now, at this vital moment, or he isn't willing to open up emotionally to the point where he can recognize that he WANTS to stay. Either way, I was happy. :D

Brilliant review, and I've added this comm to my watch list.
