I rarely review products online, but I feel I must in this case. I played the first episode for free on Steam, and it was pretty good, so I decided to buy the complete season here due to the absence of DRM. Unfortunately, I've now spent as much time installing, reinstalling, troubleshooting, researching, etc as I playing that first episode. There are a lot of people facing the same issue, with both this and Before The Storm. I understand that there are sometimes edge cases that cause problems for small numbers of users, especially with recent launches. This is probably a "configuration" type issue with certain machines i.e. we are missing some dependency somewhere. I've spent a considerable amount of time looking at log files, event viewer, dll and registry handles in Process Explorer, etc, all to no avail. The mere fact that I am looking at that stuff at all when trying to play a game from a big publisher is absurd. The actual game seems good from what I've played, but I cannot recommend anyone purchase it in its current state. Hopefully the developers or publishers or GoG will come up with a fix, or someone in the community can figure something out.
