The writing makes this game perfect for fans of Terminator and T2. Actually, I consider it the best written story in the franchise since T2. The tone of the story is great, too. The game play is definitely functional but imperfect. Some elements/systems, like crafting, upgrading, and searching for items, feel a little halfhearted (some resource names are ridiculous) either in spirit or execution - but I guess if you're a resistance fighter in the future, you're doing those things. The combat can feel tame/dull at the start, maybe that depends on your play style... As I got better gear, tho, I thought it became much more fun. The characters are great, with both good script and acting. If for some reason you hate it, but you're a big fan of the franchise, watch the story on a youtube let's play channel. Strongly recommended despite any flaws, the devs did a fine job.
