There's plenty wrong. The deeply uncanny valley of facial animation, the stilted delivery of the awkward, subtlety-free script, a clumsy UI that forces you to craft items one at a time, and please, let's not forget that camera. There's the rushed final act, and the fact that I was lovely, did all the side missions, yet never got my reputation above neutral.
There's also a B-movie charm to War Logs. It's clumsily goodhearted, and has a couple of great moments where you feel like you're affecting the world. Every bit of it needs more time and money, but it's something of a surprise to find that I left the game genuinely fond of its big, fractionally-realised ambition.
