This game is an "immersive" "open world" "RPG". Those are all in quotes because in a decade of development nobody opened a dictionary and looked up what those words meant. Immersive? If you're into watching people talk at you for five minutes at a time (seriously, someone was a bit too in love with their overly wordy dialog), then sure. Open world? If you consider a huge map with very little to do in it an open world, then sure. RPG? If you consider just barely qualifying as not being on rails and constantly watching you character do something you wouldn't during a cutscene, then sure. Aside from that, the game is very pretty. Or, it would be, if it didn't have terrible lighting. The action isn't any fun either, because a decade was apparently not long enough to polish the mechanics. The driving works about as well as the gunplay, as well. But hey, let's all celebrate the fact that you can be transgendered, because that will never matter in the game at all. In short, if you enjoy watching a game try it's hardest to be a movie about conversations, then this is the game for you. If you can get past all the technical issues and bugs, that is.
Someone's going to have to point out how this game was remastered. Looks like the original, plays like the original, crashes like crazy. But, hey, at least it comes with the original...
This game seems like it will be fun at first. You get into your first gun battle and start thinking "wow, this is pretty fun action". Before too long you'll realize that all of the fun mechanics you're using are taken from other games, and that those games implement the features much better. In fact, the only thing this team seems to have brought to the table is poorly polished mechanics and infinitely spawning enemies directly behind you. Also, nothing about how the faction system, character upgrades, or really anything except basic movement (you know, for those who've never played a video game before) is explained at all. The team is lazy. There is very little effort in this. Seriously, I saw a giant robot guy dig his way underground on a platform with nothing underneath it. That does not suggest anyone who worked on it actually cared about the final product. There is precious little effort to be found anywhere in this game and the excuse of "tee hee, we're just a cute little indie studio" has worn paper thin over the years. Just avoid this game until it costs around $5, or you'll regret your purchase.
