I love this universe, this game, and the style of it so much. It has been a long time since I've enjoyed visual storytelling as much as this. The journey your team goes through as you struggle to uncover ruins and new enemies is strangely addicting. But as you reach the end-game I have trouble with a few minor issues that hold back the entire thing from being a 5 star experience. 1) Save file corruption. This game has a notorious time trying to figure out how zones are stored and saved in its coding. You will lose entire bases, things disappear, NPCs disappear, and it is entirely infuriating after you've taken down an exceptionally difficult enemy or poured your sweat and tears into a large base. I'm a patient man, but 5 times, my entire base has been deleted, and I just got fed up with it. Base-building is end-game content I looked forward to the most, but it has a ton of bugs. Reporting it hasn't seemed to help as this has been going on for 2+ years according to numerous posts. 2) Pathfinding. The way characters wander off, stop moving randomly, get stuck in glitchy areas, stop doing jobs/tasks, swim through acid water, etc can be exceptionally trying. Add loading hiccups as you try to swap between multiple parties to keep them from path-finding suicide, and it's infuriating. These two minor, but long-standing bugs detract from what I think is a solidly beautiful game, and something that is truly a refreshing vision in what is a bland rehash gaming world.
