I meant that it has a lot of parts that don't work well togther: the presentation doesn't match the writing, the writing doesn't match the setting, the slots doesn't evoke a feeling of a contested combat. It feels like a lot of ideas thrown together without an overall vision tying them together.
I keep thinging of Inkle's Sorcery! and how well it's put together, or Simogo's Device 6's novel use of text.
