Datapad usage—which, by the way, is your phone utilizing a ton of your battery life—is relied upon way too much. It takes away from experiencing the ship when your eyes are glued to your phone, trying to unlock things and do puzzles for coordinates. Sure, it could be a younger-generation thing, but my enjoyment of the experience was impacted every time I got frustrated by not being good at it. I definitely preferred more organic connections, like striking up a conversation with Sandro the musician, talking about his crush on Gaya’s bandmate Quannii, and writing a song to woo her with.
