Jesse always trying to hide something in every conversation and yet she tells them everything almost right away. Bad writing?
You have to go back to previous locations, because game throwing at you random time-events to get some loot. Bad design?
You get the idea.
Game feels archaic and uninspired in every way. Yeah, transitions between "worlds" is pleasing to the eye, but that's it. There's nothing more. Nothing significant to enjoy the game. Every combat encounters and side-quests feels like a chore, it's boring, predictable and tedious.

Remedy makes this pretentious games, however in the end it's only works on a surface - deep inside there's blank pages.

jesus

It was fun while it lasted.
I don't regret buying it, but I feel like they've could've done more.

Anyhow, you weren't top, but you weren't ♥♥♥♥ either.

Too basic, bland and simple.

What a great game. Deep and complicated characters, it's like a solid movie. Pace of the game is amazing and nothing feels rushed. Very detailed and lively world, some of the locations are just as beautiful and real as you were there, some dark and spooky which is amazing too and gives a certain mood - always good to have variety, obviously.

Some of the side-quests felt too short for my taste, but the main story is unforgettable.

First 5-8 hours were amazing and I was enjoying it so much I couldn't stop playing it. But of course, when you progress later on in the game - now the show begins. Abiotic Factor turns into save/load disaster with poor enemy AI. Crafting becames even more tedious and grindy (just like in every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game now). On top of that unfair enemies spawn and atrocious level design kinda chocked me. Weapons just meh and I don't feel any impact. Game is just too unbalanced to fully enjoy it, its rather annoying than anything else. Shame.

This game is trying to be everything at once and still has no identity. Grindy too, to say the least.

RNG af. Addicting af. Nuff said

A shallow representation of a game that's trying so hard to be interesting. At first it is, but behind curtain disguised weak colony manager mixed with so-called roguelike. Only one thing is a sight to behold - visual style. Is it enough?

Really really good start but when you get to the end game... Jesus Christ on a cross. I don't care about their teenage problems. Also I can't sympathize Holt family. Especially Jay feels spineless and weak, no matter how you try. I think the developers didn't know what to do after the motel and they decided that players will have some sympathy for certain characters. But only one that I like was Vince. After him disappearing from the story it gets boring pretty fast.

It's both sad and ironic that all the previous games that I played: Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain (those two games from the same developer, I believe) They had the same problems - decent/good start but then you get to the end it becomes very tedious and horrible. I wonder why.
