Really intrigued by the setting and narrative so far, although I do have some gripes which can be considered feedback to change certain aspects of the game.

1. Voice actors would be great - atleast for the protagonist Dalia. (I went in expecting some voice acting since the beginning of the trailer was voiced.) It'd take immersion and storytelling to the next level. The part where she finds Gerald could've been much more impactful if it were voiced imo. The music gets it half way there.
2. Going back and forth from the shuttle/mission starting area is kind of a bummer from an immersion perspective. I'd much rather have a non-stop linear gameplay (loading screens where required) with upgrade stations (which as of now is allowed between missions). If we can have healing stations, why not upgrade stations!

All the best!

I don't think I have ever played anything quite like this game. It's a narrative experience which haunts me - in a good way. A lot of moments made me pause and think - they were usually something Weeoo or Harold said. The visuals/artwork are amazing and the amazing music perfectly supports the great writing.

My only gripes are as follows:

Gameplay : There are instances where the controls feel laggy or ill-timed, like when you get off the elevator which leads to Capt. Zoya's. The player has to wait until the entire animation of the elevator doors closing before they can get control of Harold again. Perhaps it's something that can be fixed with a patch.

Narrative (SPOILERS): I saw plenty of opportunities where player choice could have added a lot more to the game in a meaningful manner - and without affecting the game's narrative message, atleast not in any drastic manner. (That includes a second ending, but alas!) Further, after all the time we spent with the colourful cast of characters, I think we deserved to see all the emotional goodbyes Harold could've had with them besides Mareaux. It would've added a lot more emotional weight to the single ending we got.

Nevertheless, you've spent 7+ years creating this gem of a game which which will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for this.

I hope to see more such games from you folk in the future!!

My score: 8.5/10

Amazing game, VERY poorly optimised as a PC port.

No players, hence nonexistent matchmaking. I understand this is still early access and only released less than a month ago, but this game needs to be free to play and promoted better if the devs want this game to have any viable future. I already see heavy monetization of vehicle customization which is a bad sign at this stage of the game's life.

Laid back game with amazing characters and voice acting, great music and a steady story progression while touching upon some rather deep themes. 9/10

A very well told story with great visuals, soundtrack and voice acting. Neither too short, nor too long - just the right length.
9/10 from me

I may have a few gripes with the setup like - why send only one astronaut when so much is at stake? Could've sent two or more and then quickly have some tragedy befall them on the Pearson space station . But I understand, as an indie game which was initially funded via kickstarter, certain decisions have to be made. Nevertheless, it was worth my time and money.

Fun game, rogues and their abilities and interesting LTMs. Still a lot to be done to attract new players if the devs don't want this game to die a slow death. It'd be sad to see all the work and potential go to waste. For starters, a First Person mode would probably attract a horde of players who otherwise stay away from this.

Reviewing on release: Everything's great for the most part. It's nice to have a game to properly immerse yourself in.
There are some visual glitches like characters switching between actions without any smooth transitions. Some issues interacting with objects/NPCs - unable to click on them, And 'pressing 4' to switch to melee/fists doesn't seem to work. I even tried rebinding the key. No third-person photo mode in V's apartment?
Hope the incoming updates fix these minor issues.
I have to highlight that I'm pleasantly surprised it runs better than witcher 3 does on my system, so gg for that.

Sad to see the direction the game is headed in. With most of the OG devs having moved on from Respawn, innovation has massively suffered and the money grubbing ways of EA are becoming more and more blatant over time.

The game is surprisingly good despite the reviews I have read about the campaign. It can be played solo or co-op with friends or random strangers. The pvp multiplayer is where I have zero good things to say about this game because I'm literally not able to play it. It all goes to hell. For the love of planet earth, Ubisoft, please f**king fix the Nat connectivity issues. It's literally only Ubi games I face this issue in. And no, it's not my PC or my Wifi router or some portforwarding nonsense. It's restrictions from your game/servers. Nothing else. Fix. it.
I wouldn't recommend this game because of this alone.
