BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION Deluxe Edition

I really dug Stasis. This game is the same, but different. Sort of more open world with a different vibe, I wish it was a true crpg than a more point and click adventure/puzzle game. Gorgeously imagined world, I liked this game a lot and was one of the most memorable games I played all last summer. There's different possible endings, although I really wish they'd made the ending a bit different as it almost got there to being something truly profound but [spoiler]was it all just[/spoiler] detracted from it. I would highly recommend this to anyone into this genre.

I got this game when GOG was giving it away for free. I didn't think much of it at first but as the hours spent in world rolled by I found myself totally immersed in this unique future world this team has put together. The forming of relationships, cause and effect mattering and just such a diverse and weird place to explore easily makes it worth your time. If you're looking for a "no to low combat" game to sink 20 or so hours into ( not as polished but in the same breath of Disco Elysium) you will not be disapointed with this one.

The Linux Version is at V1.0.5.5 while Windows Version is at 1.0.7.3. Guess what, in the Linux Version you can't find codex pages which act as a hint to what you're supposed to do at a puzzle. As with other Unity based games it trys to fry your GPU instead of using the CPU.

First, this is point-n-click. It doesn't need 3D and could be perfectly fine with pseudo 3D taking less space on drive. Especially when you cann't rotate camera only zoom in/out. Second, story underdevelopped and poorly told. It's just don't keep attention. Character development shown only through dialog and have no concequences in gameplay, dialogs could be turned differently but will end only in one point anyway. And again no matter what you do except few points in plot it doesn't' matter. And there no place for "why?" the whole story has no reason. Third, overuse and abuse of moving here and there (without doiing anythig, just moving). There NPC you can talk and then you should leave go here and there, return and he will continue his story. All of it for location of treasure this NPC will give you. There are literraly locations with only one gold thing in it and nothing else to do. Also you cann't just click on exit marker and leave, you must move to that marker first and after that only you could click to exit location. Even one way actions broken up into at least two steps adding nothing to gameplay. Fourth, trade system is linear as hell. You can by only stuff to progress through game. You can by it for credits, which you will get in exchange for gold, and gold supply is exactly enpugh to by all the stuff. Fifth, some quest could be completed in different ways and again it doesn't matter which you take, just some dialogs will be played and other will be cut. This hurts the story, brakes it into peaces.
