Devesh is a pretty hefty, complex area, and you can tell a lot of time and resources went into assuring there was a lot to do there - even a ton of shortcuts to unlock so you weren't looping around too much as you got further in (especially if you wanted to head back to Limbo to level up). Way more combat encounters as well.

Production values ramped up a good bit with that final boss - hefty cutscene, clearly a lot more time put into fleshing out the sounds and environment, along with the boss's moves (though the triple fireball attack _sucks_ to deal with up close).

In the end, I expected a bit more of a lore dump, honestly - not necessarily to answer more questions, or even lead me to a concrete truth, but at least to give me enough ideas to come up with a few solid theories. At least it's clear that this is some manner of simulation or holding area of existence or thought-space, as earlier there was mention of keeping society from advancing too far to re-enter some manner of conflict or downfall (though I'll have to re-read a lot of the story text to get a clearer picture of what was going on there).

I know a couple of additional endings are going to get patched in, and Y'aak even got some more dialogue in Limbo recently, so I wonder what additional questions will be answered then - let alone that the developers are apparently planning additional games in the world of Hypnos. I wonder if they'll explore additional parts of Shattered's existing lore, or something more distant with only a vague connection to the story in Shattered.
