Inferior to previous Pyranha Bytes games
I feel bad for not liking this game, I have actually a few days off work so I could enjoy it. That only makes it more dissapointing, but is not the source of the score for the game. My major issues with the game are such: 1. The big one: Combat. Piranha Bytes games always had clunky combat, it's basically an endearing, if infuriating stable. But this game takes it a step further - it has the same clunky melee combat as always, but added a Stamina meter which runs out after 3-4 swings and is used for blocking as well. So not only is it difficult to actually hit an enemy, you have to disengage and wait for it to refill. Even if the enemy is on the ground, begging to be skewered. Ranged combat is equally ridiculous, as many enemies (including animals/mutants) have ranged attacks anyway, shooting strictly requires aiming (no auto-aim or hip fireing), which in turn restricts movement and leaves you vulnerable for melee. I could forgive the combat if the rest of the game was interesting, but: 2. The factions are functionally identical. Unlike previous Piranha games from Gothic 2 on, where you always had 3 factions that varied in gameplay: Melee, Mixed and Magic (ranged), the factions here give you very similar capabilities. All of them give you comparable Melee, comparable Ranged and comparable Magic (or chems). Unfortunately, all of them are utterly unlikable. Nature Zealots, Religious Tech Zealots and Criminal Zealots. You're not even given a compelling reason to join. You don't need their support or anything. Just equipment. That's literally the "quest" reason the game gives you. The rest of the game, while not infuriating, is rather dissapointing. The Domed City is a minor footnote and nothing in it matters to the rest of the game. The plot is uninspired ("you want revenge for some reason"). Jax comments about "turmoil because of regaining emotions" but you'll be straining to notice how it matters. There's good ideas in the game, but they're wasted in practice.
