That ending was really abrupt, wasn’t it? I think I may have played things too close to the vest.

I managed to find the crown with Six gone. Never let on about it to anyone except Oroi. I’m guessing you have to tell someone about it for it to come back into play?
I wanted to know what the deal was with the ritual execution/robot factory colosseum! And Six’s history. And the deal with the old Empire. And everything else!
What I got, felt like - “Well, now you’re at the Vault. Do you want to Vault? Also everyone is going to die.”
Also, for a game all about figuring out words, I found myself thinking a lot about the fact that “robot” has roots in the Czech word for “slave”.
Six seems unhappy to be with you an awful lot of the time.
Games that require multiple play throughs are a pet peeve of mine. I was burned badly by Undertale, in that only after getting frustrated with the game and stopped playing did I look it up and discover the full experience requires three play throughs, and the only way to discover that is via information that isn’t in the game itself.
It’s probably different with Heaven’s Vault, as it’s mostly the lore and history that will take more plays to uncover, not core gameplay experiences.
However, my girlfriend is part way through playing Heaven’s Vault on the Switch, and I’m not looking forward to telling her that, if she still has questions at the end of the game, that she might have to play it multiple more times to find all the answers.
