I don't usually rate games here, especially not with max scores. This game yet deserves it, story is really nice, puzzles satisfying. Atmosphere top notch. If you enjoyed games like Alan Wake or Control, this is MUST BUY for you. Seriously I can't imagine how fans of mystery and crime might not be under the spell of this game. Great tittle, for me, out of nowhere. Never heard of it before, started playing and got hooked up.
I swear I give up. If you are up for heavy fight with configs, mods and what not - give it a try, go ahead, on ultra settings game crashes every once in a while. Go on read dozen of pages of tutorials how to make mods work which actually fix game to make it somehow playable. After that find out that anyway there are game breaking bugs like NPC stuck in a wall and regions out of which you are locked out anyway which wont be fixed by mods. Even with mods graphics look worst than Fallout 3, depth is terrible (yes,no, maybe dialog options). Give me a break if this is what Bathesda is doing theese days, I would have to completly have no respect for myself to buy starfield or other garbage they are spitting out. I'm done with this game.
You should all be chaged $1000 dollars to have privilege to even glance upon screenshoots of new DLC. I mean why Paradox charges so little? People have valuable organs in their bodies I'm sure they can afford to spend some of their family wealth for fan art from some corporate shills. Please don't offend me Paradox with your 20% disscount on 21 eur content which was made in 40 hours.
This game is ofc simillar to Darkest Dungeon but I like it better. First of all party of 3 is just perfect number not too much not too little. I felt a bit overwhelmed in DD by 4 members and all the customatization. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of customatization here and most of the time you will spend in inventory. Game has some bugs and crashed on me once. Still the atmospere and overall art style is nice. I got base game for free and bought the other expansions on disscount. If you are fan of RPG, deep space exploration, scavenging you will like this one for sure.
I seriously can't understand how I can review this game without speaking about how Paradox is throwing customers into rabbit hole of DLC spendings. This game starts fantastic an you can see that on a surface of first impression it is just epic respawn of classic superhit like Master of Orion 2. I have almost all DLCs and when you buy a base game you might be rendered of some cool features. The question is which ones are worth it and which ones are just garbage. Doesn't matter because paradox will just shove them all for unaware ppl to just throw money at them.Within game the problem starts once you actually advance to late game. Since Paradox probably figured out that only minority of players advance to late game they just winged it. Late game is crashing there ale lags, scientific progress is just "Technology A level 987 = gives 5% to x", Like there was absolutely minimum work done to late game. The pinnacle of this is the finall splash screen. It's the most pathetic victory screen I have ever seen in videogames. It is equivalent to windows pop up message "you have won". I don't know if I will play again knowing how low effort they've put in late game
Ok so this is 20 years old game I come back to and to be fair I was scared to be dissapointed and wippe out all the good memories I had with it. But instead I got sucked in again and even though tje graphic sucks, the atmosphere, the path of destruction you follow, voice acting - makes up for everything. Being evil is much fun in this game. Only bad point are mouse problems - you have to go to forum to find resolution. I would expect from product to be fully complete with no settings changes required from me.
