Flawed and Good Adventure/RPG hybrid
Didn't back this on Kickstarter. Business practices aside, the game is really good. The highlights are definitely the world building and the Numenera skill check mechanics. Finally, an RPG that puts just as much focus on dialogue and skill checks as combat! There are MASSIVE walls of text, so if you're not big into reading this is definitely going to be a grueling experience. The sound design is fine. The graphics and art direction are a huge leap forward from Wasteland 2. What of the flaws? The big one is pacing. A common criticism is that there's just too much writing. This is puzzling because people who say this usually agree that the writing is mostly good. This means that the crux of the issues, in my mind, are the hours-long stretches of reading flowery prose without a break and not the volume of writing itself. The first 10 hours or so are a slog and a perfect example of this: there are about five or six sections, each can take up to an hour to talk to everyone, and then you have to factor in running back and forth completing quests which are themselves mostly talking. I think I participated in 3 fights within that time. It doesn't exactly get your heart pumping, and I found my mind wandering if I played for long stretches of time. The next big issue is the performance and let's face it: it's not going to get any better. The last patch was months ago but I'd estimate that 50%(!) of all combat I experienced in this game had at least one critical bug. Many of these were full-on crashes or the engine hangings. This is just insane for a dev to leave the game like this. Performance all around is complete trash. FPS went as high as 144 and as low as 22. What's going on here?? If you can handle these issues, the game itself is interesting and unique. Certainly not a classic, but definitely worth your time.
