Possibly a produce of game design necessity. But this game has abysmal politics. It may have been made with well meaning intentions, but this game fundamentally forecloses on the possibility of better outcomes.
Generally positive experience and I don't regret the money or the time but it does such a convincing job in its opening presentations that its hard to accept how shallow, short and limited the game becomes not long later. Doubtful I'll return to this in spite of free episodic additional content because you can't address internal shallowness by tacking new stuff on at the end. But I played it for 7 hours straight so I definitely enjoyed it for a time. The good Lush art work/atmosphere/audio Great sci fi setting allowing for lots of cool ideas to be introduced Generally high quality of understanding of those ideas Neat game play loop that is both kind of tense and incredibly forgiving Enjoyed story focus on life choices over big stuff happening The bad Short, Sets itself up to be kind of epic and just as you get going you'll realise its over Limited. Above I say it introduces lots of cool ideas, but that's as far as is goes, Nothing introduced is explored in even moderate depth. No replay value. The lack of depth means I had no interest going back through as a different character type, Additional story (Free DLC) tacked on to the end in a way that made it really hard to engage with.
