Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is a phantasmagorical voyage through time, myth, divinity, and video games. Escape the lordly deities of the underworld with your soul, and your sanity, intact. This is not a game about ponies.

First sentence never names the genre. It opens: "Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is a phantasmagorical voyage through time, myth, divinity, and…"

Opens with the game's name. Starts "Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is a…", which wastes the first words.

A rewritten draft built from your own words is in the full report.
