I played my first session of this today and I think it does what it sets out to do. The mythology creation was fantastic fun, the flavor of the playbooks is great. I liked the incentive to use Honor moves and to hit entanglements. We ended up with a cool world we are invested in exploring and interesting characters.

The only things I'm not crazy about is highlighting stats, but that's just something I don't get much out of from the original Apocalypse World. The art is not my cup of tea and layout is so-so. But I rate tabletop games based on my first-hand knowledge of the game and the texts ability to convey how you take this to the table and get the desired play experience, which this did very well for us!
