the story does make sense, seeing as its "the story" and not "several stories but we don't know which one is canon"
I don't mind at all, lol (but the gameplay is daunting since you're controlling Patroklos for most of it)
i've gotten over the loss of talim and them, but I don't really care about the mimics either, so it doesn't really take away anything from my gameplay experience, which is alright
