It's a fun run and worth playing, but its no Fallout: New Vegas.

What you get feels more like a slightly better version of Bioshock, especially with how basic all the guns, loot and objectives are. It starts out with a nice RPG experience and the promise of exploration across multiple planets, but what you get in the end are a couple of tiny maps with 3~4 buildings in them. There's a lot of interesting world building, but its all cosmetic and you don't get to interact with it much outside guns n' dialog. It's a shooter talkie! The perks lack character and feel lazily designed when compared to the traits and perks of New Vegas, they don't make your character feel more unique. At least the dialog makes a return, there's plenty of skill checks and some of the trees feel like actual conversation at points, just like it did in New Vegas.

But when it comes down to it, I still had fun. Its unfair that everyone was expecting another New Vegas (even me!) when the game feels clearly designed to be RPG Bioshock, but its kind of hard not to. The game is very short, but it ended right when it probably should have. Not sure I'm going to do a replay anytime soon, though.
