Great worldbuilding
The most important aspects in a RPG, for me, are the worldbuilding, story and characters. Solid gameplay and pleasing presentation are very important for a completely enjoyable experience, but I won't ignore a game if it doesn't excel here. Worldbuilding: 5/5 Spiders create a desolate and gritty Mars where I sure wouldn't want to live! Who would, actually? You have warring corporations fighting each other for control over the most important resource on Mars, water. You have soldiers thrown into the war willy-nilly, separated from their loved ones. Even the biggest cities are filled with poverty, crime, drugs and prostitution. It's not a live-and-let-live, but a eat-or-get-eaten world. To make things worse, after colonization Mars underwent The Turmoil, a natural and catastrophic phenomenon that rendered human life even more difficult in the harsh Martian environment. Some of the humans became mutants, being subjected to intense solar radiation, and have since been used as slave work force. Story: 4/5 I will refrain from spoiling it so you'll have to see that for yourself (and also: character limit!). Characters: 4/5 (most characters are very convincing) Gameplay: 3/5 - Invest skill points in fighting abilities, and talent points in various attributes, e.g. increased chance of loot from enemies - Crafting - Combat: it takes some time getting used to. You can attack, block, break enemy guard and roll (evade). Assign powers, bombs, traps to hotkeys or use the tactical menu - Some quests accept peaceful solutions - Reputation: MWL is one of those rare games where being evil is more convenient (extracting serum from fallen enemies is bad karma, but it's like squeezing $$$ from people, literally, so how are you gonna roll?) Presentation: 2/5 (bad voice acting, no facial expression, awful lip sync, but great Mars scenery and immersive atmosphere) I recommend this game, but do yourself a favor and play MWL first, then The Technomancer afterwards. You won't regret it!
