definitely worth it, even at full price

A really good sci-fi soulslike. The game looks good, has a unique feel to it and a nice atmosphere. As with Dark Souls, the story is told mostly indirectly and is not essential for enjoying the game (although it certainly helped in my case). I've seen it compared to Dead Space -- I agree with this insofar as the game a place on a space station where a catastrophic event has already occurred, and you are tasked to figure out what happened. The boss fights are for the most part easier than the ones in DS3, mainly because they don't have separate phases that need to be practiced (bosses use certain attacks only at low health, but that's it). On the other hand, some fights take place in extremely tight spaces, which raises the difficulty level a bit. There were only a few bosses that I had to actually practice for, particularly the fight for the complete true ending (which is difficult and really fun to master). This is another aspect of DS that the game creators got right: the bosses that are necessary for completing the game are manageable, whereas some of the optional ones provide a serious challenge. There were many complaints about bugs shortly after launch. I think the developers handled this very well, providing frequent updates that dealt with the serious issues. Personally, I was determined to enjoy the game and had no problems doing so. The only serious bug I encountered was when a boss failed to drop a key item, which seemed to prevent further progress (this was fixed early on). I restarted, but kept the initial save, and later found out that the game can be completed even from that state, by accessing a late-game area first and progressing "backwards". Playing the game this way, unsure if it was even possible to complete, was perhaps even more fun than my original playthrough. All in all, I highly recommend this game if you like soulslikes, occult sci-fi, or both.

Highly engaging Souls-like

What I love: Very responsive combat. So many games want to be a Souls-like but miss this important aspect. When you click the button, you character begins the animation immediately. There's no lag built into the game. It might seem like an easy thing but so many games miss this crucial aspect. The game is fun to play. There are guns that change up the usual pace of combat. You can whack away till your stamina is dry, pelt enemies with your gun, then recharge with melee. The gameplay loop is very satisfying. The major reason I love this is that it gets the atmosphere down pat. You have very differently designed areas even though it's all one space station. You're constantly having to explore but with the trepidation that the next enemy could whoop your behind. This game is as relentless. And the entire place is in a state of decrepitude. Its haunting. What I don't love: Overused boss models. The bosses run from great to boring but the thing is that if you do the harder area first then you'll have seen the boss models and attacks as this follows the script of bosses becoming regular enemies. Just for that reason I'd suggest going to Ikari Walkways then Alma Mater when you get that option. Graphics are so-so but it didn't really matter too much to me. I could live with it.

No DRM, plenty of fun

I really enjoy the fact that it doesn't require GOG or any game platform to be able to play online, they have their own multiplayer service even if it seems a bit clunky sometimes, it works most of the time. I enjoy the weapon leveling and upgrade system. Each weapon has its own EXP bar that grows when you use it and you have to upgrade one of each weapon enhancer and can swap them as much as you want with the dedicated crafting terminals. It would benefit so much from content updates, I have no idea if they plan to release any. In any case, I managed to acheive one ending and I'm currently playing on new game + mode. See you in-game ! My review is based on the gift version GOG offered to me.

Beautiful but sluggish, buggy and unfun

Others have said it all, but beyond the great look of the thing, it's no fun to play. Not enough info in-game to tell you which weapon or armor piece you should be using or what this other junk is that adds to encumbrance and can't be discarded. Timing jumps is more difficult than it should be, combat is slow and clunky, bosses can't be survived and once encountered can't be avoided. Every time you die, a "ghost" is added which is a predatory superhuman version of yourself. But because you lost all your "axions" or leveling skill points when you died, you have no hope of defeating your ghost, and have now spawned a second one, and a third one, ad infinitum, and these will seek you out wherever you are, preventing progress through the map. And speaking of a map, it would be nice if there were one in game, because you'll just keep wandering around the same level in circles as the mobs keep respawning around you. There is only autosave at vaguely defined spots in the game, but even when the saving animated icon appears, it's not really saving your progress. The only "saves" that are saved are made when you die. If you decide to start a new game instead, you have to go through the rigamarole of creating a new character and sitting through the slow, monotonous, unskippable cinematic prologue, which is in a language I don't recognize with English subtitles. There is no comprehensible story. Ducking for cover could put you in an inescapable instant death trap. Boring, frustrating. Any game where death in unavoidable that also gimps you every time you die is sadistic and misguided.

Repetitive with difficulty spikes

The real enemy is your own ghost that remains after you die, and quickly learns moves your character is not even capable of. This is in stark contrast with most enemies that you soon learn how to kill in two hits. And every time you die you have to restart and fight all the same enemies again in the same order.
