Someone certainly done great amount of work on it. Seems pretty complex. Too complex for my taste. But when it will be a proper game it maybe will have more natural way to teach player how to play the game than bunch of textboxes. For now I have no idea if I want actually play it, cause this demo don't quite catch me. I've played similar games from bigger studios, and this one is not bad too...probably have some optimization problems, but...don't know, my PC is not the newest.
Can't just say 5/5, but this one is really good. It have random level generation it seems, but it was fun regardless. Weapons and combat are cool. Music and sound is cool. Design is cool over all. Maps are...not always. And mini-games...first is cool, second is...too much effort for not much reward.
But bonus campaign fixed it for me some So 2/3 of a game you have very short missions and A LOT of dialogues. I was trying to read everything, then to read just main words, then I was just skipping dialogs and reading only answers. It was much faster and there are not much interesting details in them anyway. Other thing I do not like is changed advancement screen. It does look good (even if it is more compact than original) and it takes too much time to load it. In fact this game takes a lot more time to load a save than other games of the trilogy. Then there is decking and it is tedious. Thanks gods you can force some things, but even so a lot of times you need to stealth around stuff to not get caught and you will need to load a lot for it. And this game still have bugs, not game breaking, but for some reason I was not able to get best ending when I were able to obtain all of the dialogs and information. But bonus campaign is really fun, missions are long and challenging, dialogs are mostly short and there is no script bugs/ Also I don't like that all armor now have no extra stats, they look different, but they are not different. Why it was made this way...I am not sure.
Well everyone and their dog knows what good in it. But dad are: - Numbers. At times game does not count things properly. Most troubles I had with Essence and Armor. Like some armor will not work and show wrong numbers, and essence count easily breaks when you spend much time reinstalling cyberware. - Story. It is a bit childish, especially at the beginning, first games start was much more serious. But then it bombards you with tons of dialog which is hard to remember and understand, but for some missions yo really need to remember it. - Loading menu when you push F9. it really should just load autosave, not send you to a menu. - I was hoping it is more easy to operate your inventory here, but not too much, still lots of separate menus. And there is also a bug. allowing you to have one more weapon if you gather it on mission. It just goes in nonexistent 4th slot (in my case). And still I've finished this game, thanks gods, that was a mess, but I've done all the optional missions and the ending was...not interesting at all.
