Beyond Good but Slightly Overhyped

Its a good game no doubt, and it is very easy to look at it with tinted eyes when compared to bloated worlds Ubisoft has been giving us lately in AC titles. This game has an open world yet compact, has many good things going, quite sufficiently mentioned in the other reviews. It also has a charming and wholesome vibe which is a fresh break from paranoid excitement and violence. However I will like to address some of the points which I found not that great. - The Story: Really? Is it that good? I don't think so. Enough to keep you hooked, but hardly anything novel or ingenuous here. Plus the ending is sort of left hanging probably because they thought they will make a sequel. Instead they are making a prequel for the last 19 years. For a game that takes lot of inspiration from JRPGs particularly like Ys for example, the story is not that good. Not much effort to build up the lore and communicate it whereas there seemed to be plenty opportunity for that. Like who are the DomZ? Where they came from? What other planets are there? What is the history of Hillys? None of these questions are addressed. - Controls and Camera: Gets quite wonky in many segments leading to quite a bit of frustration, and also there is no separate inversion option for the space-ship, so I had to manually change it every time I went in and out of the space ship. In fact, because I had forgotten to change the inverted controls during the excitement of the final mission, I kept dying at the final boss for quite a few times before I realized what was going on! The hovercraft handling also is not excellent. Overall, its a decent idea, decently executed but could have been much better even compared to itself. From my research it seems the makers were over ambitious in their goals, coming from the Rayman games, and then had to settle for lot of cut ideas, content, and features. The story also was changed in response to real world developments. All of this reflects on the game in very obvious manner.

I don't get it

I bought this game, because it got so many 5 star reviews, "best game ever", "overlooked classic", etc. Just played into it and I don't see it. Its not even mediocre and a far shot to "best game ever". The controls are awkward... very awkward. I get it, it is made for the console, but this sells the PC version and it really makes no sense for example select menu items with the keyboard and then have to confirm with the left mouse button. wtf?! Everything is super glitchy and flickering to me. I get an headache after a few minutes and the setting and story as I get it feels like being thrown into a 1970s Japanese action cartoon. This is NOT an adventure game like one of the top reviews says. I don't know what exactly it is. My lesson, don't trust GOG reviews on some games, the site has some major issues with positive fake reviews it seems.

An ambitious but flawed game

Interesting characters and character design, and an over-arcing story that makes sense in the context of the protagonist. Voice acting is solid, movement and combat are reasonably fluid. Unfortunately, despite having more strong points than weaknesses, due to the constant graphics glitches around the HUD, and the developers decision to have the camera angle change randomly during certain combat and moving/jumping sequences, I couldn't recommend buying this game even at the $2.49 sale price I paid for it.

A Timeless Classic

I first got to play this game only a few years ago and yet it has affected me more than most other games I've played in the past decade, and I've played a lot of games. From the characters to the combat, this game manages to impress and is an absolute joy to play through. Unfortunately it ends on a terrible cliffhanger and much of the story remains underdeveloped due to the absence of any sequels, leaving the players with many unanswered questions at the end, questions that will probably never get answered. The game was very ambitious for its time, and this is reflected in the variety of gameplay activities present throughout the game world, although because of this some are more refined than others. Regardless, it is in my opinion a must-play for every action-adventure fan and perhaps any gamer looking for something a bit different. Strongly recommended.

Don't miss out on this one!

This is an amazing, underrated game. I must have played this one a dozen times over if not more. Great graphics, music, sound, stroyline, combat, sidequests, minigames, the list goes on! If there is one game I would recommend getting it's this one!
