I want to like the game...
...but the game makes it hard. Assuming you play it in English: The nicely developed characters have no accents at all. Background of the character is Chinese and French? Fluent English without an accent. That kills the vibe somewhat (at least for me). I think often criticized is the combat and I agree. There is no proper feedback when hitting or getting hit. You just see the healthbar drop. The pause mechanic does rarely make sense and I just had a fight against a robot (or power armor to be precise). I got so frustrated! While the machine is much bigger than the avatar, it has the same speed so running away is quite the hassle. It also made no sound when moving which again kills the vibe. It is just floating and the only sound you hear is your gun firing. Then it does it's melee attack and hits you even if you are metres away. So I was moving away while shooting, he hit and I was surprised that his attack connected. Then after taking a certain amount of damage he spawned smaller enemies and they were incredibly fast so here I did need the pause mechanic but it limits the ability to flee from the robot. I stopped yesterday after the robot part because the next part will be several enemies swarming me and I have to manage a whole team while everything is so fast. This game would have been much better (in my opinion) if it was round based like XCOM or Jagged Alliance.
