So bad
Why is this game so boring? Like what do people like about this confusing labyrinth style game? The melee combat is abysmal and shooting is whatever...

I had to refund this, after 1.8 hrs of playing.

They like story telling, space, inventory management, exploration.

If it isnt for you then it isnt for you and thats okay.

I personally love it.

It's nice to play a game where you get to figure things out for yourself for once and aren't spoon fed every single step of the way.

Game is solid 11/10, atmosphere, not so easy, very confusing what to do next, can't wait for sequel.

You seem to dislike exploring and you seem to look for a simple shooter. This game is not for you.

It's system shock. Of all the games out there why would you choose this game if you're looking for good combat? It's an exploration/survival game

Exploring and figuring things out with no handholding. Challening combat, puzzles, etc. It's accurate to the old school gameplay of the original that inspired later games that built upon the immersive sim aspects, like Deus Ex and Thief.

You're supposed to be praising the game, not insulting it.

I think the problem is the awful combat, exploration is meh, the dev team is talented though, maybe they had very low budget, which it shows.

Well they wanted to stay faithful to the original game. If it isnt for you then it isnt for you.

You might enjoy Prey 2017 more maybe.

Thanks, I did enjoy Prey 2017 back in the days indeed!
I guess yeah makes sense, I'll try to get into this game more maybe, the music is also cool... but ehh :cryptocool:

Yeah, it can be a slow burn.
I personally enjoyed how much thinking was involved since all progression seems to be given to you hours in advance on top of found audio logs.

So figuring out how to handle the objectives and also figuring out where stuff was that youve seen is a big fun factor for me personally.

Combat... isnt the greatest Ill agree but it was enjoyable and not a negative for me. (:

Hope you get into it, it is an addictive game.

You should at least try the original, and scream in horror how janky and almost insufferable it was.

Anyway, i do agree with OP. While this is a faithful remake of the outdated game, a less faithful version with 25% less maze would've been great.

There are so many areas that make little-to-no sense, and serves only to add confusion.
