User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
You will be doing similar cover shooting / ability (augmentations) / tactical . It won't vary a lot start to finish. Sometimes you will get new enemy with different thing. Sometimes you get different thing for your character. I liked what gameplay offers but its not its strongest part, keep that in mind before you buy it. Everything else is very good. Story is good and hooked me. World is very good and game looks awesome. I have %100 the game in my playtime including dlc. Fov for very wide res used to (maybe still is) be zoomed. There is a temporary fix on the internet.
Having now finished all missions in the game this is an easy recommendation. If you are a twin stick, cyberpunk, and/or iso action fan this game is amazing! Does it have it's quirks? Yes, absolutely. There are some bugs (mostly game freezes), but easily remedied with a simple relaunch. For me this was no big deal because the game keeps me wanting to play more. The cheeky dialogue kept me entertained, the world design is a labor of love and it shows, the universe potential here is really something. Full disclosure, my playthrough was single player only and that was intentional since there is a big patch coming in November that is going to address the MP issues and more. I am excited to give MP a try after the update and I really hope that this IP gets a follow-up. It will be a Day 1 purchase for me if so.
I think it was truly fun to play through. I can recommend it even for solo (i played in solo) but it must be fun in group too. The world looks cool and gritty, and cyber futuristic trash, it is great. The story is quite alright it backs every part of the gameplay. The crafting system and character development is also enjoyable if you ask me, I was curious all the way about my character's build and the next fight, the next adventure. If you are not sure, buy it on discount, but on discount its absolutely worth it, so don't miss it.
