Pretty disappointed. Nothing about the game truly gripped me, the story was pretty bad and just required you to go collect artifacts with the odd fighting before hand, the characters were pretty dull to the point I don't even remember a single name of any of the "main" characters I encountered apart from maybe one or two but it's because they had cool nicknames. The optimisation was horrible but the graphics looked decent. The NPCs walking around felt like something out of a 2014 game and overall the cities felt pretty boring.
The exploration part where they said you can explore planets is, true, but if you want to explore empty planets with the odd randomly generated base here and now and then, then I suppose it's great. The fast travel kind of ruined the whole exploration part too as it was so easy to teleport to ship, then land on the next ship that it completely made manually entering the ship, manually leaving, manually selecting a planet pretty much useless. The loading I didn't mind, would've been better without but doesn't ruin the game.
Overall I can definitely see how people can enjoy this game but I really didn't see how I could've enjoyed it more. Especially how I had multiple game breaking bugs that I needed to leave or restart from a few saves ago in order to progress. Just lost my interest super early in the game when I already didn't have much interest to begin with.

A very curious game that works really well up until about halfway through. The story had really good potential until I felt like it was thrown away due to one simple plotline that ultimately kind of ruined the direction the game was going in in which I really liked.
The gameplay is about the same, find leads, find clues, interrogate in very weird ways in which sometimes you can be reading someone completely wrong and thus give you less leads. But it's pretty much the same for all 26 cases. Luckily it's completely different style cases each time so there is no real boring case, I just found it slightly boring towards the end because of the story change I mentioned before. It does hold up very well, the really neat face animations are truly unique and I wonder how well they can be done in today's technology.
Overall a solid 6/10 but nothing more to be honest. I thought after the first 4 cases I was not going to give this game anything lower than an 8 but oh wow.
