***for some people game crashes a lot, to make it run 100% stable just add -d3d11 parameter to the shortcut
REVIEW:
I'll go with STORY, WORLD and GAMEPLAY:
STORY:
It is a prequel to an absolutely great novel. A good prequel in my opinion. It is not as deep as Soma but touches the same topics and leaves you thinking after you finish the game. If you finish the game and liked it, you should definitely grab a book or an audiobook to see what happened next ;). Plus it is a great novel that had a huge positive impact on me as a human being. Don't be afraid of it, you won't regret it
WORLD:
Imagine the world where people got smarter, more educated, tougher and learned to respect each other 10 times more than we do today. Then they dropped all the nonsense of information era and just went to explore space using the 60' technology on steroids mastering the nuclear power and secrets of antimatter. Then you got Lem's world and after that you realise that this world is probably better than our current own one.
GAMEPLAY:
It is a walking simulator. Not too linear because there are a few ways to connect all the pieces togheter. There are also a couple of endings. I discovered 4 of them so far. So yes, it is an interactive novel to be true just like Soma without danger. A few minor bugs exist nothing game braking. You can also get lost in a difficult terrain a few times. Alien planet exploration is not easy after all ;)
For me a solid interactive novel, if you like its atmosphere and theme buy and enjoy 5/5
