Not only the mechanics for this jump are awful but also the narrative on the mission is horrible, the overarching story makes absolute no sense. It could have been done way better. I will definetly not buy the new blue boxes until the cycle is fully closed and I discourage any new playersto even start playing this game. Truat me, you will avoid the massive disappointment this ending brings to the game.

Really bad scenario, what make it worse is that it took our group 6 hours to finish it. The game system is boring and meaningless, what you have to do is randomly choose a place to go and hope you have enough stats to pass the requirement, if not maybe you have lose a whole loop to do it again, what's the point?

[Spoiler Warning] . . . . Yikes. Where to start? Not only is this a bitterly disappointing and anti-climactic ending to the series, with zero mention of (much less resolution to) the factions meta-narrative that had been built up over the previous 8 games, but the game itself was mundane and tedious. The setting is boring enough, but we stayed in the game for nearly 8 hours anyways, hoping there was a twist somewhere that would take us somewhere unexpected, or introduce something magical, dark, or twisted, like in many of the other games that dealt with cosmic horrors, serial killers, and extra-terrestrial body-jumpers (rival agents). But, alas, the story is just dinner parties, dancing, exchanging items for gold, and lots of guys in wigs. And collecting 12,000 redundant receptacles. Around hour #7, when the game would not end, despite having imprinted the King, we were forced to simply read through, methodically, all the cards we had skipped over or missed, eventually stumbling upon a convoluted plot that lead to the secret deck and it's dumb, disappointing ending to the series. None of the choices we had made regarding the factions throughout the other games paid off or even mattered. And despite this game feeling like it was on rails at times, the final puzzle(?) had no hint or clue that would have lead us anywhere near the solution. The series was fun while you were leading up to the ending, because you felt like it was going somewhere, like there was a greater meaning to everything - until you get to the final episode only to learn that no, there is no payoff, there was no meaning, and after walking around in circles for a while, your calves are sore and the plunger is just a plunger after all.
