Excellent RPG with awful combat
The story is very well designed and writing is pretty good, on the scale similar to PoE1. Art and scenery is simply breathtaking. However, it has major issues with overall gameplay design. To put it short and blunt, it is simply tedious and glitchy. Combat is even worse than PoE1 and substantially worse than Tyranny. Character development is also very limited. My main issue with the story is that it evolves around being an errand boy to higher powers or even minor NPCs. You don't even have a decent ability to command your own ship. At times, there is a feeling that the game plays itself without your actual participation. You do endless chores for all of these NPCs and eventually manage to save (or wreck) the world. It should have been less forcing, just tuning down the servitude tone will go a long way. Same is true for combat which is plain awful. It is extremely limited and AI is very simple and bad. Enemies are spawning out of thin air and your party and NPCs are jumping/teleporting all over the place for no reason. I understand that these days people like games that play themselves but this is not how a good RPG combat should work. It simply lacks precision, similar to PoE1, while Tyranny has been much better in this regard. Inventory is very cumbersome and management of everything is simply tedious. There is no fast travel, loading screens might not be very long but are very abundant, and just navigating around takes too much time. There is a huge disparity between the art/story and overall game design. Seems like the art/story part has been done by really talented team while all the rest is not very well thought through. It does have variety but all comes down to the same repeating and tedious tasks. The world of Deadfire is huge with hundreds of NPCs and there are no markers or navigation aids. So, you are forced to either take notes or use google/wiki as it is impossible to find anything otherwise, which is bad IMHO.
