Not perfect, nontheless a good story

The technical aspects of graphics and gameplay are not as polished as some other similar role playing games and, at times, dialogues feel rushed or generic, especially in the latter part of the game. Combat never gets easy, but gets somewhat repetitive, again, in the later part of the game. Despite all these minor issues, Spiders managed to craft a compeling story with characters you get to get attached to. It also commands descisions that are ambiguous and not obviously black and white with unexpected but believeable consequences down the line. All in all, I wish I gave it a chance much earlier, anyway, wholeheartedly recommend!

Not good, not bad

Unfortunately this game fails at the one thing it should be good at: Making you feel like a mighty Technomancer. Note also that the screenshots above are almost exclusively cutscenes. Unlike what the pictures suggest, you play in third person with the camera behind and above. For an RPG, the skill tree is minimalistic with the Technomancer skill options being especially poor. In a world with automatic guns, your primary attack skill is to deliver an electric shock at short range that does about as much damage as a melee attack but comes with a long cooldown time. The game borrows ideas (like arena fights or potential love interests) from many great titles like KOTOR et al, but ultimately fails to meet their immersion and depth due to shallow characters, mediocre writing, unengaging factions, cookie cutter good vs. evil reputation system, extremely unbalanced fights, clunky controls, unconvincing NPCs, poor AI with your companions being little more than punching bags that keep blocking your way and your enemies always charging you in a straight line. All in all this game is not great, but not bad either. It has its moments and all the ingredients for a great RPG but unfortunately stops short of "doing it right".

Refunded Due to Serious Game Flaws

Game looks promising, but the problem of requiring system to run in no more than 4 CPU cores is just obsurd. Run it and you will find yourself have to manually limit the number of your CPU cores to run this game, it's not too much of a click work but it's not worth the hassle.

Good game and good value

I bought several of Spiders older games after enjoying Greedfall. The Technomancer had an interesting story, fun quests, and no major bugs. It took me around37 hours to finish the main quest and almost all side quests so it was a bit short for an rpg, but a good value for the money. It was not as good as Greedfall but was better than Bound by Flame. A good solid rpg.

Beware! Not working...

Avoid this game if your CPU is 8 core +, it will not working. (I have Windows 11 and i7 12700 (as I am writing this review)). From now, I have to check every purchased game immediately, and if not working refund it because why should I pay for something which is not working?
