I would often just stop and spin the camera to get a good look at the often stunning scenery. That same camera can be a little annoying at times as well. Technically, the game worked very well with no crashes in Win 11. The enemies are balanced well enough and if one area is too tough just leave it for a little while and return later when you are stronger. Puzzles and enemies never got to the point of blocking my progress and I took my time and enjoyed the ride. The end battle was easier than expected and I played it twice just because I was still shocked that the game had ended. I would have liked to see more variety in the armor and weapons but in hindsight once you settle on one weapon and one set of armor for each character you are basically set for the game. Melee fighting is most effective and magic is really only needed for healing.
I got many hours of "playtime" from this one little game. You have to be smart on which weapon type you use for the different enemies all the while conserving your ammo. Good selection of weapons throughout the game but in the end I was surprised that the basic six shooters with their uncanny range and limitless ammo was my go to weapon for eradicating throngs of enemies at long range. The graphics are good and the action can be fast at times but everything works as it should. Except for trying to find all the secrets nothing in the game should cause you to pull your hair out unlike many games that are programmed with this in mind.
I really enjoyed this game. It should be 5 stars but it would freeze my computer so often that I had to drop one star. Some battles are tough and you have to adjust your tactics or even leave that fight and come back later once you have leveled up some. Leveling up your guys is the key but don't cry when the enemy has also leveled up. This is what makes the game competitive all the way through. The RPG aspects are great and my one advice is to pick a certain path for each character and don't spread out the points randomly as the game will end before you can reach your end goals. It took me 36 hours to complete the main and all side quests. You will have to backtrack to find side quests that will help to level up or acquire a unique item or weapon. The story kept me engaged and the characters were interesting but the ending was very strange.
Great graphics, animations, and voice but only three stars since it can easily be finished in 6.5 hours with no need for a walk through. Puzzles are logical and breezy. I would easily give 4 stars if this had a chapter 2 and 3 which would have really fit in with the game since there are more monster conspiracies that should have been explored. The protagonist is very easy on the eyes but she does have a sexist mean streak towards her ex that didn't need to be included in the game.
