The story, renders, and animation are excellent. The game is very fun to play and the story leaves you wanting more, and I love the humor. So why a 3?
The brawler mini-game started off as a nice, simple, easy to play game in the first 2 episodes, and then took a turn for what I consider the worst in episode 3 and 4. The simple tactical rpg type set up was replaced with a The Tower type setup but implemented poorly. It works in The Tower, because the button combo system acts as a optional damage multiplier and damage can still be done without using it. In BADIK, the combination of ups,downs,lefts,rights must be completed to land a hit or block and evade, and the timer is very short, so it becomes annoying. So yes, one mini-game has lowered the rating that I was going to give from a 5 to a 3.
The story is also A to B, but also has ton of choices. The free-roam is OK, but limited to a small area which makes the game feel slightly claustrophobic at times, however it's barely noticeable.
Overall, the game is solid and worth playing and the mini-games can be turned off if you don't like them.
