Disclaimer: I spent 22 hours over several days completing this and while I enjoyed it, there are some details that not many people will find appealing.

List of the negative things that you should expect to encounter in this game:

  • lots of sameface NPCs (reused models, A LOT)
  • awkward dialogue animations (think ME:Andromeda but not as bad)
  • fairly weak level design
  • a crafting system that is poorly thoughtout, almost completely useless, and most importantly it serves as an excuse for the very unappealing armor and weapons you get to choose from (you ll understand what i mean when u need to get a new armor and weapon the first time)
  • as a result from the above, looting is almost entirely meaningless and it serves as a rude awakening near the ending of the game where you realise you have so many unspent resources that will remain unspent and you have been wasting your time sweeping every area for loot (which takes time because of the unskippable animation)
  • not all voice acting is bad (the protagonist, Roy, for example has great VA in my opinion that fits his character splendidly). However, a lot of random npcs and even major characters including a romance option have horrible horrible voice acting that leads one to believe the people that got recorded have never voice acted in their life beforehand
  • one obscure thing i noticed accidentally is the people in the street that you cannot interact with and are just there to provide immersion for the environment you are supposed to be in, have no animations in the slightest. literal mannequins. not all of the npcs, the devs did a good job at being conservative on who gets animated and who doesnt to make the setting believable. but if u notice like i did, it turns the experience a little sour and im sorry that i had to let u know but it bothered me a lot
  • the combat is kind of well executed, but quickly gets repetitive and easy (i was on Normal difficulty and every fight was childs play except 2-3 in the entire game, and u fight a LOT)
  • there is a "reputation" system implemented that turns out has no effect on the story at all, and only serves as a means to get some additional perks (like +crit chance or better merchant prices)
  • throughout your entire playthrough, there is one phrase echoing in your head the closer you get to the end: They run out of money

    By this point you are propably wondering how the freakin hell i have "Yes" recommended this game. Surprisingly, if you manage to stomach all the above faults, there is a really great game here and the devs put as much of their soul into it as possible. They have created a believable post-apocalyptic universe full of intrigue, its own politics, factions, guilds and history. It is truly worth it to play this game just to experience the setting it is in. The story is well told, there are decisions to make that alter the story and how the NPCs deal with you, there are at least two romance options possible, and from the looks of it there are at least two pretty big branching paths depending on a single choice you make that changes the story heavily, and while I didnt try both possible paths, the ending my choice got was pretty satisfying with potential sequels or spinoffs.

    Its worth mentioning that the world the game is set in is as "adult" or "mature" as it can be. The game doesnt hold the unpleasant facts from you and nor do the ingame characters (to give an example, one of the characters practically tells you she was sexually abused at a very young age by the people that adopted her).

    I truly believe there is an enjoyable game here, as long as you know what you are getting into and pay the right price of admission (read: NOT the full price, at best 50%+ off)
