This game is one of the coolest, most original games I've played in a very long time. The system is fast, fun and cinematic. It's loose enough so that players have freedom to do what they want but structured enough so that storytellers can react without having to refer to the book too often. I love how the book gives you enough of the setting so that you can take it and run, creating what you need to make a personalized world. I find that really helps create an intimacy with the setting so writing for it becomes more instinctual than anything.
The Cyphers and Artifacts are fun. Having a revolving array of abilities and effects adds a nice randomness that has lead to some exciting scenes and some great moments when a player just realizes they have a cypher that can do just what is needed.
