Gamebreaking technical problems
I played the game a fair bit, but couldn't finish - the game can't load any of the saves for some reason - maybe it's GoG Galaxy, but it never happened before. I doubt I'll replay the 17 hours I spent on it so far.
But to the point - how's the game? Plot has a few holes and stupid stuff from the get go. You're rescued from a ship just to be taken to a secret asteroid base of a mad scientist. You're then dropped down onto a planet to meet a guy who's supposed to meet you - but he dies and you take his place. But his ship is broken (why is it broken? Don't know) so you have to steal The Vital Part from one of the factions on the planet. Why is it the only place you can get this part and it's in walking distance? Because the plot wants it. So after you make enemies with one of the factions, you take off and go to... the secret asteroid base. Why send you to the planet in the first place? Don't know. But then you're free to go wherever. Writing is okay, but characters are as bland as they go. Your companions are as milquetoast as they get, the only interesting one was Vicar Max. Maybe the other two I didn't meet yet are good, but one is a literal robot (who might be more human than the rest for all I know). Most people you meet are females with coloured hair for some reason - the world is painted as bleak, without necessities like food or water, but I guess hair dye is in ample supply. Speaking of the world - corporations are the new government, hellbent on just having as much power as they can get, feeding their own people be damned. Propaganda is everywhere, nonsensical decisions are being made that benefit nobody and people are poor and starving, working at factories that produce stuff nobody needs. We've doing space communism now I guess!
Graphics are amazing, art design of everything is pretty great, voice acting and music are also great. Gameplay itself is fine, there's weapons to choose from and they feel like from an FPS.
But too bad I can't finish the game.
