Pretentious and nonsensical
First, I am a fan of the Just Cause series, so my standards for games are mostly for gameplay, not storyline. If you are looking for an engaging storyline... I dunno. About 2/3rd's of the way through I wished I could just kill EVERYONE in this stupid game. The modules in the game are interesting, but I completed everything and never got all of them. Still a nice idea, even if some things do not work, like the "Health on Kill" not working with the Ball Lightning module except on direct hit kills. The game itself is EXTREMELY beautiful, but sadly very empty. You basically have maybe 4 enemy types roaming the wilds: giant earthworm snakes that spit acid, spider, dogs, and vultures/eagles. There are harder variants. Then there are 6 droid types and variants: sword, blaster, sniper, heavy, tank, drone. A few miscellaneous enemies like heavy turrets, a couple of sharks (one quest related, another guarding "Black Seaweed" or something, and the bosses. Nada otherwise - there is MUCH less enemy variety than Doom 1, and even Wolfenstein 3D held my attention for longer. Crafting is barely useful. Flying is fun, but doesn't hold a candle to Just Cause (no grapple). You also have VERY limited energy, and the jetpack is more of a "fartpack" - you get extra highjumps, not flight until LATE. Think about 10-20 hours of grinding. Some gadgets are ok, like summoning swarms of alien wasps or alien riders on flying mounts to drop contact bombs on an area. The world's beauty holds for a few hours, but this game suffers from EXTREMELY dislikable characters, nonsensical story (in a preachy "what-the-hell-is-the-point-then?" style), and a sort-of neat weapon+combat system SEVERELY hampered by both lack of variety and quantity of targets to shoot at. Hell, get Elex 2 if you want flight. Get almost any AAA game if you want pretty. But don't get this except on sale. Oh, and part of the MAIN QUEST is to start an orgy in the first half of the game (don't get your hopes up).
