True BG2 Sequel. Made with love and care
Love Witcher, love generous free to play
This is a polished, finished game. You're buying a complete product! Not used to that. It's easy though, if you're familiar with the genre then crank up the difficulty before you start. It also does the weird thing where the beginning of the game is way harder than the end of the game. The last boss was an absolute victory lap, especially with all the lategame guns and abilities. The abilities are great though. It's a single player game that's not too worried about balance. You can shoot through walls, or make your guys run so fast that they can cross the entire map. You can stack damage buffs on a guy until he one-shots one of the super tough Necron units. As far as the story and writing goes, it's a little surface level. You have your super religious grandpa guy who wants you to pray away your problems and destroy the xeno technology. Then you have the super-tech focused girl, who wants you to bring all the weird alien stuff back to the base so she can study it. These two advocate for their respective view over and over and over again. They don't really go much deeper than "xeno technology is heresy, destroy it!" and "but if we study it then we might discover something we can use against our enemies!" Which isn't a bad foundation to start from, but I do wish they had done more with it. 5 stars though, for sure. This game is fun, and a breath of fresh air
