Query: READS TOO MUCH LIKE A GAME!

I usually love Mel Odom's novels but this one - though promising - was just set too much like a game more than a well written novel. There were quite a few interesting characters but the plot was just not there and the background feel was like a game. Now I know its based on a game - but does it have to read like one! Mel Odom writes at his best in the OUTLANDERS novels he writes on occasion, that seems to be his medium and genre and when he is at his best.
