Better Than Most
*spoilers*
I don’t like every Choice of Game out there, but this one was pretty remarkable. I felt like there was room for more like actually going to war and there should have been the possibility of keeping all the gods around for good.
I would like more tales similar to this where you take on being on an avatar for a god, or are a priestess for a certain totem Animal.

Something to really sink your teeth into
One of the better choice of games I’ve played! The wide range of options really gave me a sense of control and connections to the characters. Plus gotta love letting loose and eating your enemies once in a while, amiright.
Though,
[SPOILERS]
some parts of the ending should be fixed—even when I chose to keep things peaceful between the Rising Sun and the enclave, they still declared war however I played it. And also when I became Lyall’s partner, that somehow meant I was disconnected from the enclave? Not sure if there’s a glitch somewhere, but the endings are always the same.

Main path is great, others are lackluster
If you want to go on an action-packed saga of revenge, this is the game for you. Enjoy the variations you can take on that route.
If you want the other routes, well... that's less interesting. The game's decisions are not well-set-up for rewards for pacifistic choices. Spider (deliberation/selfish) is interesting because it plays against the choice system - most selfish choices seem to go against deliberation, and most deliberation choices are non-selfish. Unless I missed the appropriate boosts, playing the Spider Path takes some thought to actually keep both traits above 50%.
The Rising Sun path is welcome, as a rebellion against the gods, but would be more interesting if the default path didn't have half the pantheon attempting to kill you anyway. Speaking of that, I apparently had a moderate approval rating for my actions after the ending... say WHAT? How? Is there any way to have a LOW rating, if one can have their approval after openly declaring one's hostility to the pantheon and immediately making good on it?!
I really liked this game. It feels complete. However, I wish there was more reward for changing from Wolf - say, becoming the new Hawk or Bear avatar. Or being able to romance their current avatar. (If that's good enough for Spider...) It feels like the game barely acknowledges being on their paths, which is a pity.
Overall: buy and go Wolf. You can and should do others on replays, but RPing as Wolf's loyal avatar will give you the best first-experience of the plot events.
