Still doesn't have mid mission saves in mission select after the third entry in the game. Truly incredible work Bethesda.

The balance just isn't there. And the objective reuse gets real old real fast. Frankly the first game's linearity and more unique bosses and stages stood out for the best. This just ain't it chief. And I really wanted to like this game.

This is a good game but it's also a lot of game. It's huge. And maybe it's my lack of skill but I feel I spend too much time backtracking. I'm still the first major area and honestly it's impressive in and of itself. I've spent a few hours with this after having tried it on game pass. And the voice actor nailed Indiana Jones's voice.

While the game isn't quite to the addictive standard of Balatro it's totally worth playing. Once you deckbuild a bit it can break your mind a little when you say. Yeah I'll hit on 18, three-quarters of my deck is 3.

You should absolutely play this game even if this type of game frustrates you. Because with the God Mode Menu buff eventually you will learn enough and resist enough damage so as to have fun with it.

It is easy to sink 1000+ hours into this game roleplaying. Be a cannibal. Hate cannibals. See how long an army of children survive. Eat your friends. Grow an organ farm. Be "ethical."

This game is frankly a buggy mess beyond being rather shallow in game-play. I've lost my save file when it crashed while converting a follower and I'm not sure how many times it has softlocked. I've played through Fallout 3, NV, and 4 play-throughs with fewer bugs. I cannot recommend this game until it is fixed. I've not successfully gained access to the Lonely Shack. And who knows what else.

Following the Relics Update which I was super hyped for most of my previous complaints have been resolved and the improvements to the game are many-fold. Relics are cool. However I'd still like to see some choice for weapon choice and spell choice perhaps as a post-game option. Maybe just make it a pool. (I'm kinda tired of the slow hammer and the lame charge shot). The Kitchen should really be an earlier unlock though and there should be a way to automate fishing (Fishing Hut when?) or else every fishing ritual you have to optimize by spending two in-game days fishing which is bad for your cult. As it stands everyone is a vegetarian now until the questers come back with meat.

Unfortunately, the game has once again become a buggy mess. My game crashed right as I beat a boss. I now can no longer move when I load my game. Alt-tabbing out then causes my entire computer to crash. I can now no longer play my endgame save given I cannot seem to force a backup save to load. Given such a game-breaking bug I can sadly no longer recommend the game. It has been Bethesda-tier buggy but with more game-breaking bugs. I can't even report it in-game since it just crashes my whole computer and I can't even open the menu when I load into the save.

Also, honestly I kinda hate the base aspect, it takes up so much time you can easily have no time to go questing as it can take all day to manage your base every in-game day. Base game is fun but being able to blacklist some awful spells and weapons would be ideal. I don't need extra zeal if I have it maxed.

Fun and yet tedious. If I could save in loops it might be okay. But I don't even know when a loop ends or begins sometimes.

The game is alright but I don't like the lack of difficulty settings. I actually find the game quite difficult and the inventory management means of switching between what is in each hand on keyboard and mouse is just awful. Which is likely a major contributor to my challenges with it.

It feels too much like a clone of Dishonored but with a small handful of guns and less polish. I recommend playing Dishonored and Dishonored 2 instead of this game. This game would need a lot of smoothness improvements to be worth playing at all. Colt doesn't feel like he can "chain" movement options the way Emily or Corvo could. Plus those games have more powers including Colts.

Oh and my RTX 2060 can't meet the VRAM requirements under anything but the lowest texture settings. So you need more than 6GB of VRAM for it to work "properly" I crash on launch most times but if I choose "wait for the program to respond" it all works out.

It was funky but it was a fun toy. I do prefer my Xbox One Controller but I can see it having some value. Especially with a redesign to give it maybe an option to swap out parts like an Xbox Elite controller and let us map a bunch of back triggers individually.
