It's not even close. It's not intended to be. It's intended to be a story. PROS: - This game is beautiful. The art direction is amazing. The water is better than in Starfield!! The whole look of it brings you in. It reminds me a lot of the original Myst. CONS: - The installer takes up 20G of your C drive whether you install it on your C drive or on an external drive. VERY annoying!! - More annoying than that: Checkpoint saves! Since the game is story-driven, it's broken into chapters. It's also very slow. Unless you have gobs of time to spend on this game, you'll have to start at the last checkpoint. - The game is a little too dark. I needed to adjust the brightness using Intel Graphics Command Center. Not a deal-breaker, though. Looking forward to playing it when I have more time.
I don't understand how they can release this thing. It has X-Box 360 controller support but it doesn't show up in the controller options. It doesn't save the graphics options either. Just get an emulator designed to play Neo-Geo games to play this game. This is just ridiculous.
The main one has to do with saving. You can only save one game and when you return to the game, it will only return you to the last checkpoint, which is useless in an adventure game. Also, if you put up the map, the game doesn't pause, so if there happens to be an enemy ahead of you that you don't see but who sees you, you'll be attacked. That's not fair. If it didn't have these problems, it would have been playable for me as I was able to fix the really awful high-contrast view and put the color back. The visuals are very appealing... in color.
Terrible. Terrible. That Ren guy got incredibly annoying after two minutes and I tried to walk away and go to the bridge of the boat but I couldn't escape his awful conversation. I'm glad this was free. I lasted five minutes. Sort of pretty looking but the writing was awful.
