My son got this game on steam, the darkness and enemies made him too uneasy to make it very far. When I started playing it I decided to see if GOG had it since I feel more comfortable here. The first 2 times I have started a game I got the same weapon in the same spot and assumed it was not rng but the third time ( current game) I did not and after countless hours still have not found a projectile weapon, I'm not complaining I am doing just fine. My son restarted and found a lazer weapon before the first enemy appears. So there's high variability in loot spawning. I am a cautious player, slow, strategic, willing to grind for loot/lux/and tech and that helps. I have a well defended base in the gene lab and materials for high end equipment is hard to find making advanced bases a grind to set up. But that is part if the fun for me. Some things I think need work: 1. Exiting certain windows, such as hydroponics units are inconsistent with exiting other windows and could use some uniformity to clean up UI. Not too big of a deal. But if tab gets me out of one thing and not another I hit it by default and then it doesn't work how I expect. 2. Improved pathing for the AI especially the seekers. I see seekers walking into walls all the time and into doors that can't open and getting into places they shouldn't. Its a bit of a trope for video game characters but yeah needs work. Its a common problem in most games but doesn't have to be I know of 20yo games that have solved this. 3. I tried to fortify the Arcadia elevator with a gate, a turret, and a power transmitter. It worked i was able to make a fort to retreat to, however the idea was to use the elevator to go floor to floor protected and when I went to floor 2, the base stayed on floor 1. This is the biggest glitch I have found. Not game breaking but annoying. Luckily when returning to floor 1 my base rose out of the floor intact. This bug should be fixed In short this is not doom, its not a run and gun game.
