Gigantic is off to a good start, but it'll need a little variety in the future if it wants me to stick around.

It's not a perfect adventure, and there will be some frustrating moments, but I'm ready to hear more of the song that this game brings.

Taking these Agents out on missions starts out fun, but quickly goes repetitive.
