I like STASIS 1, thought CAYNE was okay, REALLY LIKED Beautiful Desolation, and this game easily surpasses all those. It's interesting drawing the improvements both in technology, art, and game design. I highly recommend the supporters pack as the PDF game guide is really neat without being too hand-holding or spoiler-y. From a technical perspective, I had zero issues playing on Manjaro Linux through Proton (mouse/keyboard), and was amazing at how they designed the game prevent soft locks, excessive backtracking, and wandering between too many areas. If you liked SOMA, Sanitarium, Dark Seed, Harvester, or any of the Brotherhood games, you'll 100% love this game. 10/10 and I rarely give a gave that score. I have zero complaints and only praise.
heck yeah, more Shadowrun.
I'm terrible at all the puzzles though.
The only game that has impactful decisions. Yes, it still feels like "but it's the story" well the story made me feel bad for doing bad things. 10/10 would commit war crimes again.
Come for the visuals, stay for the sound design.
Weird guns, creatures, and barely translated storyline all equal the best XCOM story that doesn't look like pixel art.
Who knew the spiritual sequel to the first Deus Ex would be a sidescroller.
Now I get to be a dragon and fly around in smog, just like a real city!
I remember loving this game. Then I replayed it and couldn't help but feel like it's a tech demo and they didn't bother to actually make a real game.
A bit of jank to start, but the game progresses well and maintains its fun without dragging out.
