Fun and Pretty but has Issues
Do NOT pay full price for this, totally not worth it, and GoG full price is way over competitor for some reason. I paid $2 on crazy sale here, totally worth it. The graphics, sound, voice acting, ambiance, etc are all good and make for a fun play time. It is linear, so there is no exploration, but that's typical of a shooter game, but no jump, which feels forced. What throws many is thinking this is Skyrim and not a shooter, and it's not. In fact, it shares some feel with Skyrim in the first person mage spell in each hand setup. There is no money or armor, you only harvest energy to craft more powerful spells. Simple, and could have been elegant, but then it falls down. The crafting is terribly explained, has missing stats, missing info, and in many cases makes no sense. Watching a 30 min fan video on it helped, but not totally, and pointed out the UI was DOWNGRADED from the original that had more info! What? You combine things and get random instead of logical results. You use an upgraded component and it makes no more powerful a spell than the original part. Some things are totally inconsistent, like fire ray has very short range but ice ray is very long (range is NOT a stat shown...). You can't swap hands, attack animation is always right hand, but you can swap buttons, which is good because default is reverse of the screen which is disconcerting. Like other games, no save, only respawn checkpoints. No real penalty for dying. You can't jump, but you can fall down a cliff and die. Poor design choice as there is no warning. Once you get past the irritation of the design issues, mostly in the crafting, you sit back and just throw chance to the wind, manage to make better spells, and go back to having fun nuking things. And the game play really is fun, but too simple to pay more than a few bucks given the annoyances. I don't like shooters, I like this.
