I waited for this game to come from "in development" on Steam for quite some time. The reviews weren't generous, but for some reason I wanted to wait and see. And when it was on discount on GOG and no longer in early access it was no brainer. I regret my decision. Cons: The UI is dreadful. It's like imported mobile game that's been made for screens of several inches and when played on monitors it's pixel land, and not the retro-bit good one. There's an invisible border for your mouse on the right side of the screen which you can't pass and see what are the option buttons on the down-right corner. At least I presume they are option buttons since there was no option menu to begin with. The game starts with "play" button and registration screen. For what it wants registration I really don't know. So back to the lack of option menu: you can't change resolution because... there's no option menu. You can't check the graphics options... because there's no option menu. In rare cases when game dosn't crash and actually lets you choose campaign/tutorial/trainning menu - it crashes back to windows again. Pros: I have no pros for it since every time I try to play it just crashes. And thus is unplayable for me.

Caution! Spoilers ahead. The game has beautiful visuals, the music is good, art direction also and I do love the level design. I'm not a wild west fan so I bought this only because of the high discount. But I like X-Com like games. So I thought to give it a try. The story is probably good, don't know, after some time the intro starts glitching and the game in 50% of cases just freezes. But I did make it to 90% of chapter one. Other thing that frustrated me was the game progression itself. You don't want to go through tutorial? Get ready to fight the same lvl but with more enemies, and by the way it's also mission that's harder than the third one where you gun down the whole mining protection cartel. Geared up and customized a character to the detail? Don't worry, the story will pluck it away from you just because it dictates so. Return it back again, take another away, not return it, take the third one away... don't know if you get that one back, I just started anew (there were several things I did wrong, should have concentrated on building up my mining skills). Tutorial again, taken the 'yes please guide me sir' just to avoid the harder intro lvl. Got to the chest where one of the spoilers resides and... the lvl doesn't end. You can run around, explore the small homstead to the last rock but the narrator doesn't show up anymore. Reinstalled, checked my drivers, everything is updated. Didn't help. The game could be really good, but I wouldn't know. For me it just didn't work out.
