I decided I'd better sum it up and give it a single grade, seeing how this was a single story throughout the three episodes.
To be honest, underwhelming. For a return of Christopher Eccleston himself this is such a disappointing first story. The "you killed a lot of people, but you didn't know any better" moral is questionable, and there isn't really anything else cohesive there.
I don't like how the solution to the whole story is the Doctor invents rogue-likes. That's it. In the far future as well, with gaming being one of the central focus points in the story.

The companion Nova is bleak. Think Martha, if her downgrade from Smith and Jones onward continued further. The timey-wimey stuff is way overtuned, to the point of becoming slightly confusing. I don't see the point for it either, other than ripping off The Girl in a Fireplace.
Nicholas Briggs may be a man of many feats, but writing is not one of them. 2/5
