Obsidians suprisingly mediocre story RPG
I have heard this game compared to Fallout, and I suppose that could be, except the apocalypse is a solar system wide ... and it's yet to happen. This comparison would be imperfect at best. The game is closer in both theme and through many overt and obscure references to "Firefly" and "Serenity". That's largely irrelevant to the gameplay itself. The story is there, the problem is, most of it is so obvious what it's trying to be that it's verging on the painful. This game is trying to be "Firefly the Game" without the trademark, yet I don't feel like it's really scoring the goal. The stories are there, but to me as a Firefly fan, it just falls short. There's NPC interaction in your party much like you'd expect in Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, or Neverwinter's Night, but much of it lacks the wit that keeps that back and forth engaging. The stories are at the exagerated extreme end of anti-capitalism fare, and the obviousness of the moral choices might as well stand up and scream "Pick me! Pick me!" while the other side suggests moral choices that would make the Robber Barons of the late 19th century cringe. It's an interesting play, I don't consider my money wasted - I bought it on sale - but it's not stellar based on the stories alone. Not a home run, more like a solid hit with no men on base. The game engine seems rock solid on my modest gaming system - Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM, AMD 5500XT 8GB, Intel NVME SSDs, with a solid 60 FPS at 1440p resolution at ultra detail. The RAM useage never seems to exceed 5 GB VRAM and 12 GB system RAM. It's never crashed on me after several solid days of play. I wish I could say this is Obsidian at its best story telling, but it's really a mediocre story RPG with a solid engine under it. They've had over a year of patches and DLC at this point, after all. My verdict: wait for a sale.
