Pretty and not many bugs. Choiches matter in the shiort-term which is nice even if it may not be ideal. Various fun character builds are not that hard to set up and some get fun benefits, like on a low-iq build, you get called a "cave man" and given a baton as your starter weapon. Companions are fine, the AI is okay. Game overal is pretty solid, but it may not hold up for more than a single playthrough depending on how much you explore the first time.
Pretty great game in my humble opinion. Some complain about tactics, now sure why, may they are comparing to XCom or BG, no idea. Erros translating, well I'm not a main english speaker concerned with proper english, so I didnt really notice any, As it is such an overall nice game, I played for many hours, and as I do with many games I enjoy, even prolonged it on purpose. Stealing unnoticed? Check. Killing because you can? Check. Having Sx in a vent with a stranger? Check. Dying to some weird glob group because I was too lazy to actually evaluate weakness? Check. Only weird parts are those cloudish "anomaly" bits, as they are just weird and boring, luckily they are just a few and far apart.
I played the game in EA and let it sit for a long time. I came back to it and got through about 1/2 of Act 2. It became a slog, and I noticed what others have said about the story falling off. It's a shame because I really wanted to finish this game, but it just became too disappointing story-wise. It began strong and finished Act I strong-but petered out. At $3.00 it's not a bad deal; you'll get 20 hours of fun out of it. Just be ready to drop it when it gets lame.
I quite enjoyed this game. Set in a desert where an unknown alien anomaly has created a self contained dome tens of kilometers wide where dangers await. Either the 1972 Russian science fiction novel "Roadside Picnic" or the more recent 2014 "Annihilation" by Jeff VanderMeer will give you a good feel for the setting (There are movies based on each), You start as one of a member of one of five factions with various responsibilities and privileges to explore. Blacks - the military. Whites - the scientists. Blues - technicians. Silver - administration and diplomats. Orange - labor force (composed of convicted criminals). You explore deserted building complexes, occupied human outposts, desert and swamp terrain dealing with mutant cockroaches, crazed humans, radiation threats, zombies, and out of control robots. At the center is the mystery of the dome, and the artifacts that surround it. I found the combat system fun enough. It's 4x turn based with characters having limited action points to move and attack. There are buffs and debuffs. Different types of attacks - energy, pyro, cyro, bio, mechanical, psionic that your foes will have various resistances to. Positioning makes a big difference, and stealth plays a large role. You can isolate and snipe foes from a large group. There also a lot of ways to avoid fighting altogther - mainly through stealth, but also through social interaction with results varying based on your reputation and knowledge. There's a lot of play with, but none of it seems overwhelming or tedious. Others have complained about the unfinished nature of the game, and I did see some of that, especially late in act 2, and act 3. But by that point, I was satisfied enough with what I had been through already to let the game roll to its ending without a lot of repetitive combat and interaction. So yeah. I enjoyed it enough to recommend.
