The main sequence in a game is the normal (most natural) sequence in which required items are acquired, bosses are fought, characters are met, and major events happen. Everything listed here is required to complete the game, anything else is considered optional.
A "branch" occurs when the main sequence offers multiple equally natural choices. (Players must complete all branches, but can do so in the order they want.) Axiom Verge 1 has no such branches. It is unverified if Axiom Verge 2 does.
A sequence break occurs when a player do things in an order that differs from the main sequence. Minor breaks are indicated here for convenience.
