I really enjoyed this game on many different angles including: story, investigating, exploring, a few puzzle solving, and a little FPS/slashing. The Good: The main focus on the game is the story and exploring element of it. The narration is very well done, very detailed and in some cases helpful to your progress. Both graphics and sounds is pretty good. The length of the game is reasonable, it took me about 10-12 hours to complete. The Not So Good: The replay value it has to offer is a bit questionable. Now that I know the story and how it ends, and have for the most part explored pretty much the entire map as far as I know, I have little reason to go and play it again. There are some action elements to the game as I mentioned earlier, but they are rare to come by and is by no means an FPS, just has FPS element included in the game. The Bad: The control aren't very good and is evident that this is because it is also on release for PS4/Xbox and not just PC. Even after completing the game, I still didn't quite get used to the controls. You can rebind them, but doesn't solve the issue that you can't take out your gun or axe to defend yourself then quickly go back to eat some needed pain killers etc. You need to keep going back to the main menu and then go to your inventory and switching the items you need. Also, the menus are the infamous circular menu and when you have a significant amount of documents that you are trying to go through, this gets very frustrating trying to click on the right column. Overall: I liked this game. I wish it was perhaps a bit longer, and had something to give it more of a reason to reply the game, but overall, a very solid and memorable game.

First thing is, the game itself, I really enjoyed. The puzzles weren't over the top hard and the AI program was there to help out to provide you with clues if you needed it. The graphics are nice (although steep system requirements for what it is) sounds is fine, music is fine, the game itself plays very well. My big grip about it is the combination of both price and play time. Approx. 3.5 hours it took me to beat the game. Now in fairness, you can take as much time as you like playing the game and talk with the AI for a while. Still, would have loved to have seen a few more sections added or at least a few more puzzle to justify the purchase price. In summary, a solid game that's short and isn't for everyone.
Hands down my favorite game still to this day. When I first played this game waaaay back in 94, I was blown away. The thought of you being weaker than the enemy(you had no shields, while other enemies did)all the while, you had others to help you and in some cases outnumbered the enemy. The complete reverse thinking for video games in 94. Not only that, you NEEDED to work with you team in order to be successful in some missions. For example, you need to disable a ship, but you don't have the weapons to pull such a task, so another flight group with move in to disable it for you but you can help them by weaken the ships shields so they can quickly disable the target. This has such tremendous replay value. Some missions I play over and over again in the combat chamber and continuously making new pilots and running through all the missions again on a higher difficultly setting and trying to get all the secondary and bonus objectives. As a side note, there are some fan made missions that are available and you can also find a copy of a level editor around as well, to even further its replay value. To sum it up, if you at all, even close, to liking flight sims, even if it's a little bit, this is a must buy.
This game will have you hooked and playing it for HOURS. The main campaigns alone will take you many hours and there are many other maps for a simple single campaign and a random map generator so you'll have a different experience every time. It even has a level editor. Bottom line, great fun, and super high replay value which will keep you busy for many, many hours.
