I rather like this game honestly. I don't think it's anything crazy and it sort of just runs through the standard Fallout/Bethesda formula for a game in this genre. But it does enough to stand on its own.
Your party is pretty good and memorable. Parvati is really the only one I was invested in, but the priest guy I know has a really interesting and complex sidequest that fleshes his character out. And a lot of your choices do matter, and you can even do things that aren't in game choices that will affect the quest. And you CAN kill everyone if you want to, that's always fun. I found the combat satisfying overall and there was good variety to the weapons, abilities, and enemy types. Good amount of content. The Switch port has been patched substantially so it is better.

That said, as a story it's very whatever. You don't feel invested in what's going on. It has lots of tedious missions. I am also just tired of games that have "weight" systems that limit what you can carry. There has been basically no instance where that mechanic is fun or interesting. All it does is to limit freedom, customization and flow having to stop every 5 minutes to dump all your crap away, then being forced to upgrade your inventory space to avoid the problem. A lot of the maps feel kinda empty.

There are more issues, but overall I think it works despite them. It's still fun and there's enjoyment to get out of it especially if you like Fallout type games.
