I was really excited for this game for a long time. I had hailed this as the return of Obsidian with a game in the critical vein of New Vegas. They hype was real, and while I did have fun with this game, it felt way too short, too surface level, and just smacked of a game that was cut way, way too short. The story is fine, the moral complexities of dialogue and characters just aren't there. The characters are fine. Some stand out more than others like Parvati and Max, but they don't bring enough to the table to make them worth exploring. Gameplay is fine enough but nothing really stands out. And the game's length is an issue, because while a shorter RPG experience is fine and all, but the world of the game feels so sprawling, and you feel so excited to explore it, only for it to slam the doors on you when you start to hit it's stride. I hope the sequel is better and actually delivers on the sprawling world filled with satirical hyper corporate stories because that is interesting.

It's very middling, but it's a good foundation for the sequel, but doesn't stand on it's own.
