Good stuff, similar enough to Hollow Knight to feel comfortable with good twists on most previous mechanics.
The MC is not endearing, the "scenes" are underwhelming (and too few), the plot is ludacris (not in a good way). None of the scenes have erected any satisfaction.
I am only an hour into this game, and I am kinda bored. The dialog is, although fully voiced, not great. I have seen a few of the "adult" scenes and the animations are stilted. The truth is I have played free "adult" games with render quality that is just as good if not better, and had better fluid (and more jiggly) animations. Maybe the dialog will improve through out the game, but I am not optimistic.
Best adult game I never came too... I really want to play it again and see the different paths but, I am not ready for the emotional roller coaster again.
The game play is fun and the game looks great, but every time I launch the game I have to reset my key-binds. Its really starting to get on my nerves. I might return this game, then buy it again after they fix it; I haven't decided yet.
I am no where near the end of the game, but I had to review it. I really like this game. The game play, and story are both great. It runs well through Lutris on linux. One thing that seems odd about Aquanox - Deep Descent, is that it is an underwater game. Everything about it screams space shooter. Almost like the game was done and then someone said, "F&@* IT, were going with water." Then wrote the plot around that last minute decision. It really reminds me of the X3 games, but underwater. I kinda wish there was a sandbox survival mode. Take Subnautica and Aquanox and smash them together. I would buy that DLC all day. Who knows, maybe by the time I am done with the main plot that is exactly what I will have. If this game had some base building and Inside spaces (walk around sea bases, inside of ships, etc... I would have given it 5 stars. I recommend this game to anyone who likes space shooters, and Subnautica.
The characters, environment and gameplay were great. I really enjoyed this game. -The interface and KB + M play interface left something to be desired, remaps not working properly, sprinting stuck on/off (not using toggle). Run, jump down some stairs while still holding shift, begin walking when I land at the bottom, release shift and begin running again. -Crafting is not great, I am not a fan of skill gated crafting in a single player environment where money is not super hard to come by. -Speaking of money making, its pretty well balanced, though a little slow in late game. -Great main story, side quests, and gigs. I also enjoyed the random gang violence I could either ignore or get involved in. -Not long enough, but I will chalk that up to the community's impatience. I really enjoy a long playthrough. I almost thought the ending would lead to a whole new content area because the main story was short for a CDPR game. Maybe I was spoiled by other games and my own expectations. -with proper settings, i was able to achieve 40-60 fps on a GTX 1070 FE. Dynamic FidelityFX helped a lot with this. Though it did make fences and bushes look weird at times. -I have already started my next playthrough.
