Played this on and off for some time and never noticed the issues i'm now getting. Screens pop up randomly when you cursor is nowhere near them, blocking your view, Zombies disappear when your look even slightly off centre and the combat system as well as the stealth are just a joke. In stealth seen from miles away, ends up easier just to run about. In combat, never seem to be able to hit, even the tutorial is dodgy with aiming for the head on the ground you miss more than you hit. Never used to be like this.
Frankly found this disappointing. Graphics are poor with everything having that blureness that modern games seem to favour. Combat is way to simple even on hard level the enemies are no challenge. Ran through basically on automatic with not even having to even heal. Expecting a lot better from Larian.
After suffering through humungeous updates the combat AI is still a mess. Dogs are amazing, seem to be able to hide anywhere when your off the ground but as soon as you step down there all over you. Enemies from a distance are basically invisible and always know where you are but close up they run straight past you. Sneaked up on one enemy and stabbed him, he turned around and just looked at me and did nothing. No patrol patterns they just all stand in a group and you can take out half a dozen with one grenade. Anomaly searching also a mess scanner goes mad something pops up and then disappears a split second later and your left scratching your head. Add to that broken quests that part triigger and characters disappear with no reward. Still a long way from a finished article.
By the fourth game you expect all the basics to be sorted but this one actually got worse. Sleep function can't set wake up time. Interiors too dark and the light is like a single candle. NPCs seem lifeless and the speech function strange as the characters switch to different voices when answering questions. Map and compass just seem off and uncomfortable to use. Buying and upgrading not part off speech and require separate button pressed. All these worked before but now actually feel like a downgrade. This game has the feeling it was designed by people who never spoke to each other and functions changed on a whim. Looks like graphics were given 99% of the time and gameplay the rest.
Basic concept good time travel and effects but the stories themselves are bland and uninteresting.
Never got past third turn due to ship killer events every turn that require all four crew for one event meaning the other two or three failures kill you off. In the first turn of one play i actually lost three of four crew. Too random.
Having played do not understand the good reviews. Everything is too dark even with brightness maxed. the type font is terrible and the graphics are not a patch on skyrim. If not free i would have asked for a refund.
The control scheme makes this game incredibly annoying. The camera angle does not change until you walk a considerable distance in that direction leaving you guessing as to what's there. The graphics are bland leaving everything looking very flat. would have been so much better with a simple point and click system.
Graphics are pretty poor for a modern game. Gameplay is mediocre and story poor. about as tactical as hitting yourself in the face to cure a headache.
Story okay but not much depth. Choices don't seem to matter much just carry on along a linear path. Frustration is the time limited on the conversation bubble, times out way to quickly so clearly doesn't affect anything in game.
