Satellite Reign

An interestingly boring game

Disclaimer: I speak based only on multiplayer experience and I own this game on GOG. Review: An interesting game, not fun, but interesting. First let me say, that if you expect any kind of a story, forget it. You get an introductory video at the beginning of the game, but only in single player. The game tries to support both combat based and stealth based gameplay, but combat in the game is actually implemented in such a way, that your group has almost very limited chance to win any prolonged encounters. In the end, it just feels like a waste of time. On the other hand, a stealth approach seems like the way to go, but it is so janky, that it will result in many cries of frustration during your game time. The developers tried to provide four traditional cyberpunk classes, which do feel distinct the first time you get your hands on them. But after a while, you will find out, that the soldier is useless, the support is boring and useless at the same, the hacker is a fun skill mule and the infiltrator is your best way to solve any mission. The developers force you to bring your soldier and support with you to the target, since some missions require them to be present, but it is often much easier to leave them both standing outside of the enemy base and ignore them. Later on in the game, you get your hands on equipment for your characters, which allows them to use the skills of other classes, and at that moment the distinction between classes disappears and you will ask yourself, why did the developers even bothered to implement any classes anyway. Lastly, the game was incredibly laggy if you are not the multiplayer host. Characters keep teleporting and stuck in geometry. In the last bossfight, my character got stuck forever in void below the map. I gave up and let my friends finish the game, while I drank tea. And at that moment I've had the most fun with the game in all 18 hours we've played it. Summary: An interesting game concept. Not much else.
