wanted to like this more than i did, but it had enough fun moments and characterful Bits to get me through it. it feels a little bit like a prototype that needed tightening up and the addition of a more aggressive Vision; for a nightmare world of endless colonial capitalism, it's got shockingly few sharp edges, and it leans too cartoonish and slapstick to really land any gutpunch story beats.

that said, i actually quite liked the combat, which is sort of a miracle in an obsidian game. fair play to them! it's fun to use a sniper rifle!
