Spoiler Free -- I really liked this game, the gameplay is very fluid and moving feels precise. The atmosphere is created by a nice, but subtle soundtrack and the fantastic artstyle and graphics The character models are an exception, they only look "acceptable", definitely not on par with the rest of the game. But even though that point could be imporved upon, it didn't really hurt the immersion. As the game costs about 12$, i won't reduce my rating by 1 star for the character models. Playtime is fine (1playthrough with getting several collectables took me somewhere around 5h) And it was a fantastic experience. i really recommend getting this game!
SPOILER FREE ! Was waiting for this game to appear on gog... And after my first playthrough i can say that it is a fantastic game, here are the key points. GAMEPLAY: +Consortium is a very choice focussed game, mostly done with dialogue, but also emergent situations +Movement/Controls feel good +Option to disable mouse acceleration +I DID NOT ENCOUNTER ANY BUGS IN GAMEPLAY SOUND / MUSIC: +Voices well acted +Generic sounds not overdone, just right! +Soundtrack great GRAPHICS: -ranging from mediocre to almost good -blocky shadows -occasional shadow glitches THE WORLD/SETTING AS A WHOLE This game takes itself seriously and i guess the team spent a lot of team creating such an immersive game where everything from the start menu till the credits are connected with each other. However, the game also has several moments in which i was amused by a line or an allusion. CONCLUSION Despite its graphics i still give this game 5/5 stars. It made it into my most favourite story-driven games along with masterpieces like Deus Ex or Final Fantasy games by being VERY IMMERSIVE and enjoyably designed. Will definitely replay and am looking forward to the sequels!
