There are rarely Audios where I remember my Listening Experience as vividly as with this one. I remember I listened to this one fairly recently (well, if 5 Months ago is recent) and I remember not feeling good at all, so I am not quite sure if my Opinion on this might be formed that much by this experience.
In many ways, this Story present plenty of Things that I like. As always, Molloy doesn't disappoint and his Report with Colin is a delight. Similarly, Mel is quite a strong Character in this one, she gets a lot to do here and Bonnie does deliver what she is given, if anything she is the Standout here. How the Story uses the Mechanoids was an interesting Twist, but, and that's a big but, their Voices are just ■■■■■■■ Awful. And I am sorry for saying this, but they really hard to listen to and at best just come off as annoying, at worst make my Listening Experience much worse.
There is also the pacing, which feels at times all over the Place. And the Side Cast. Oh well, the Side Cast is tricky, but frankly I don't really have much of an Opinion on them, at best I am very indifferent about them to put it kindly.
And yet while I gave it plenty of Praise and there is a lot to like here, I am not sure if this one that I put comfortably on my "Hey, I like it"-Tier. Again this might very well deserve another shoot from me, I can see why it's well-liked (at least I've seen it being parted with the more liked Monthlies from the Streak 51-100), but for me? It just kinda doesn't connect with me at all.
