In one sentence: excellent story and setting! Wait, what, this is on GOG? First the PC release and now this? This is epic. I never played the PlayStation version so I cannot compare to it. If your PC is fast enough to run this then this is one of the most epic games you can play. I recommend going spoiler free into the story. It will unravel itself very well and will get your imagination going. They have really thought it well and the presentation is excellent. There are great twists along the way. If you are like me and like to use a bow in almost any game that has one, then this is definitely for you. The fighting is interesting and using the environment is very important to win some of the bigger robots. You will struggle in the beginning and will also end up totally overpowered towards the end. I have completed the main story and the expansion on normal difficulty, and if I could give you one good advice to help you out: buy a better bow!
This is my favourite game this year! I expected it to be decent, but not this good. At first it seems very difficult, but then you realise that it gives a lot of room to actually avoid hits. With a bit of practise you end up going through entire levels without getting hit, while annihilating every single enemy. Then you get cocky and die to the first trivial enemy on the next level. The pacing is fast and fluid unlike in Dark Souls. Plenty of items and weapons to make each run unique. Levels are well made and always similar in length, while also varying to keep them from becoming obvious. I really like the controls and the responsiveness of the character, it feels like I'm total control of every action. Overall superbly well made! This level of quality is very difficult to find from any game.
This just got released in GOG? AWESOME! This is my most played game on Steam by far. I've poured hundreds of hours into this game. This is a turn based game at its best. This is rivaling the original UFO: Enemy Unknown ( X-COM UFO Defense ). I don't think I can say more than what has already been said by others. If you like turn based games and don't know this one, then you don't how good turn based games can be.
