Major stuttering on PC because of shaders compilation. It doesn't matter what graphic card. The performance gets better after 2-3 hours of gameplay, but this is a 5 hour game. So it sucks for PC.
Gameplay-wise, it's okay. I don't really like the fact that I had to be constantly fighting the terrain and attacks from outside of my perspective in a first-person shooter. Feedback for hitting on enemies isn't sharp enough. Everything feels kinda mushy compared to Doom. But the game is visually entertaining and short enough to be worth playing on Game Pass.

The gameplay is meh and the story is a huge disappointment. 90% of the time you're doing side-quest-ish things but it's in the main storyline. When you have done enough random chores for NPCs a sudden catastrophy will engulf you and everyone else thus forcing the plot forward. So basically the quest structure of the game is mostly irrelevant to the plot.... and the main character is literally a mute who displays no emotion at all throughout the entire 20hr campaign.
The only strength of this game is the art, which is a nostalgic acid trip back into a mixture of 1960s Japan's retrofuturism and 1980-90s JRPG and anime references. I really wish the beautiful world it built didn't feel so empty and devoid of meaning because of how weak the writing is.

Great game. I wish the movement was analogue because playing on the d-pad hurts my thumb. I left chapter 8 unfinished though because the base content was already challenging enough for my old ass. I would probably persist if I were 20 year old younger. Now I'm satisfied just for having seen the credit roll.

Couldn't endure the endless tutorial of crafting one thing after another. No idea what I'm doing and why I'm doing that. Surely not the kind of the space adventure I want. I might as well just apply for a Chemistry major and I would be having more fun. I'm sure there are people who're into this kind of game. Just not me.

I really wanted to like this game because the gloomy art style really hit my soft nostalgic spot. It felt like a myterious abandoned industrial plant for aliens. If only the puzzle didn't challenge my patience so much. It's physically nauseating to play this game because it's a first person perspective game that requires you to go back and forth in the same monotonous maze doing odd jobs looking very carefully with interactable objects the game doesn't give any visual cue. I would really prefer if this game was a much simpler walking simulator in which I can be more focused on the aethestic.

All I could see is my teammate's special effect. I couldn't even see whether my hit landed on the dinosaurs. I just shoot at the general direction of where everyone was shooting at. I was expecting a L4D-like game with a PVPVE gimmick but what is the point if you don't get that adrenaline rush of power fantasy for slaughtering a huge number of zombies/dinosaurs.
