I feel bad putting a not recommended rating. So i am going to clairify. It is NOT worth 30 dollars.

A little on me as a gamer, I love RTS type games. Trying to solve puzzles and even resolving them differently tickles me silly. Kinda feel bad not rating up more games i do enjoy but nothing really stands out any more these days however i will point out a "complete" game that needs work...

First the bad;

BUGS!

-Agents get stuck in walls/objects/stairs/offmap
-AI get stuck walls/objects/stairs and still spot and attack Agents
-Some componets dont react correctly
-Some objects can be shot through are see through but its not the same every game
-Security doors open when they shouldnt
-Not all restricted areas are properly marked
-AI and Agents can shoot at all ready targeted enemies once they are out of range
-Cameras glitch through stands to follow Agents/followers

This list alone is a deal breaker for me even wanting this game... thankfully for me its free, So i might grind through the head ach to finish it.

Issues i have with it;

-AI respawn in cleared sectors of base locations before i trigger alarm
-AI scales HP and damage a bit steep and sure you can wait around for the skills to do something but good luck otherwise
-make a slight mistake and your team is wrecked, even with the slow down its almost to fast pace for my self.
-Lag spikes every time something respawns
-I Personally have issues where the difference in damage types actually ruins my experience. takes to long to change out and to run all needed reduces DPS far to much when things well, explode. I dont play with the pausing available, I have to use the skills to get the effect and there is no easy way to change weapons i have discovered
-why should i care for my Agents? Most of the time my missions ended in failure simply cause i didnt care. Once they are half way out just let them die then send in the infiltrator to extract the needed matierals. Alot less of a head ach.
-mission system is a tad vauge when you target your targets.
-Skill trees have typos that can make them hard to understand.
-is cover actually cover? or am i squishy? Cant answer the first.
-Need help? Just throw civilians at the police. Or police at the police, more the merrier as some would say.
-When activating a skill i dont want to move every one from cover to stick them back so my idiotic hacker will get down once done.
-Cameras in bad locations
-Lack of instant killing abilities, Expect reinforcements.
-I quit trying to assinate targets as they simply snap around and spot me to often
-Once the factions start fighting you might as well do something else, They wont stop and the base will be crawing with hostiles.
-Im trying to hard to be nice.

I really wouldnt pay for this game with the above issues. It looks pretty but the above really kills the game play.

The good.

-Scenery is actually pretty good for a gods eye view of a cyber punk city in a distopian future.
-Learning the location, I found having to go around to each beckon to learn about the location to be helpful
-The skill trees are reasonable however there are typos that can make them hard to understand
-Your not a god. your quite squishy
-The cloths looked nice, Gave me a good laugh some times
-Cover looked like cover
-Animations acted correctly most of the time.
-"Scanning" things was pretty cool, its a near core aspect of the game. Though you could beat it with out it.
-The Research tree added a few hours to my game play and drew me deeper.


Yeah, Its a short list and i had to grasp at straws. good and bad should be atleast one good to one bad... for an early access game

The Neutral

-The game has stealth... This is supposed to be pretty important from what i can tell.
-Explosions look nice, i guess. could kill better if your atop a satchel charge and thrown a few dozen feet. Don't worry, you and them can walk it off.
-your a clone i guess? just steal another skin if your stats get to low from dying to often. The market is rich in stock.


Who am i kidding? I cant even say nice things about this game and i was trying... Hopefully a few bug fixes may occur and it will be better but what do i know? I want to try multiplayer, But i refuse with how my single player experience was i can only assume its far worse or about the same.

I again am pleased I received this game from the humble bundle for free.
