Invisigal truly shines in these two episodes. Screenshot by Destructoid Episode 6 on the other hand sees the pace pick up speed, and violently so. It feels much shorter than the fifth, but is not worse, at least not in a general sense. It has a goal in mind and wishes to push the narrative a leap forward, making up for the prior episode's "lost" time. To a degree it does its job, and what's most important—it does not overstay its welcome.

It's markedly different than Episode 5 and ends poignantly (and on a cliffhanger) and overdoes it on some of the puzzles, but it still fits snugly into the overall story and is, for better or worse, an episode necessary to drive the plot forward.

Now I know I'm being a bit confusing with how I'm describing it, but I don't want to reveal any details of the story whatsoever and will reserve my comments on plot elements for the full review. After all, the episodes have just come out and players are yet to experience them, and I won't be the bearer of any news until you've had some time to try stuff yourself.

Overall, these two episodes are a high point for the game, which makes sense as we're entering the final act of this dramatic display of heroism. Stakes are higher than they ever were, stuff is happening fast, and I cannot wait to see how it all ties together when the final two episodes are out next Wednesday.
