they wont let me post negative reviews. so i must say this is a great game
Terrible game as of now. The first everspace was awesome. This game is a grindy nightmare with absolutly broken misssion levels. It'll tell you that a quest is level 6 but throw dozens of level 8 enemies at you. Every shield I've found and made in 7hrs has been garbage and every enemy has a bettter shield plus weapons. Huge step backward from the first. It feels like they haven't actually play tested it at all. Controls are very bad as well they offer controls similar to the first but it doesnt handle half as well as that game. There is massive input lag and delay afterword. Doesn't feel like the same people are working on this one.
Still multiple broken unfinishable quests, worse npc and cop ai than games from over a decade ago, lack of mini games and races, lack of meaningful interaction with the city, pacing issues with teleporting through missions in a game that forces 1st person for the expirence. Great gun play and steath elements with hacking but that can only carry a game so far. Double jump and a good motorcycle are a mush because on higher difficulties enemies will hit you in cover and the cars handle so terribly you'll likely kill civilians and have to deal with driving a couple blocks to out run cops. A few amazing moments in the story are marred by the tiny main plot with no branching consequences at all until the very last mission. The witcher 2 basically featured 2 compeltly separate plots with your choice of who to follow. It's shocking that this company ignored everything they did right for 10 years and allowed this to release in this state. After 100hrs I'm just more disappointed than the best moments could make up for. I made excuses for dozens of hours but looking at my broken quest log and the poorly executed potentially great story line. Your insane marketing department is still putting out elaborate ads for bug patchs that havent even released. focus on developement not marketing. I loved the first witcher a decade ago and everything since, this game is a massive step back from that series. It very mcuh feels rushed and all of the useless managers and marketing directors need to be fired for pushing this product in this state and not focusing on fixing and expanding it to be on par with GTA games over 10 years or at least your own other games.
