Almost great game that requires modding.
There are so many good things to say about this game, but the game has a BIG issue with difficulty and progression. The game is INCREDIBLY stingy when it comes to give power to the player. Normal difficulty is an absolute snorefest. On Veteran, you level up much faster because there are a ton more enemies, but you also die in 2 hits and the game is filled with cheap BS moments that will make you lose a lot of that very needed XP. Also, literally 98.5% of the loop drops are unusable because of their level or attribute requirements, or because they're so much worse than what you already have. Once in a full moon, you'll get something that you can actually equip and is marginally better. Then, no matter the difficulty, the game expects you to grind: You clear areas faster than you level up, and new areas will have much higher level enemies than you, in which case, your attacks do jack shite regardless of how optimized your equipment is with augments. The solution is to clear that last area, 4 or 5 times by going to the main menu after each clear, to force enemies to respawn. You can't really go anywhere else, and if you want to have some variation by killing enemies in earlier areas, they will give you literally no XP. Also, there's this big perk tree system that has a lot more perks than the total perk points you can get in one character. So overall, the entire game feels like it's there to provide you a super well-made experience, but it backed out at the last minute and decided to make you miserable instead. The REAL solution is to download the "Smash n Grab" mod, and forget about spending 3 hours listening to podcasts, grinding the same map over and over just to see more of the game.
