Sights & Sounds
- Excellent character designs. Everyone you encounter is really visually interesting and unique
- Nice, mostly chill electronic music throughout
Story & Vibes
- The story is so good. I found myself following every sidequest I could find just to keep learning more about the world
- I completed the Flux DLC and enjoyed it as well
- There are many endings to the game, and most of them are pretty great. One thing to keep in mind is that you should take every opportunity to see endings, even if they would appear to end your playthrough early. You can always continue from the decision point once you're bounced back to the menu
- The mood is a desperate one. Your body is continually degrading, so a sense of urgency hangs over the early game. By the end, though, you'll be so resource rich that it won't really matter
Playability & Replayability
- The game is largely played by dispensing your dice into actions every day. These may be jobs to earn money or supplies, activities to recover health and energy, or story-related tasks
- Your stat tree can help you with these rolls as well as providing you with other passive perks
- Other than that, it's mostly kicking back and enjoying the story and visuals
- I'll definitely be returning to get the endings I missed as well as playing through the upcoming DLCs
Overall Impressions & Performance
- Not a very graphically intense game, but it ran flawlessly and without bugs
Final Verdict
- 9/10. If you're a fan of a good sci-fi story and either enjoy or don't mind some light resource management, I'd recommend this game regardless of price
