just sort of perfect, you know? i remember playing it at trade events for years before it eventually came out and that gave it this real storied feel that i haven't had from a game in a while, that feeling of a friend you trust grabbing you and saying "yo you GOTTA play this". that's something you cant recapture really but it's very precious to me, and so, too, is this game.

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!

this is definitely some type of mind control device. i keep playing it in a trancelike state, getting excited about the numbers and the pretty colours and the screenshake. i am being programmed to do something beyond my reckoning and i'm enjoying it very much.
edit okay i've played this a bunch more since i wrote this review and i hate to abandon the joke but this game really kicks ass. it reminds me of a vlambeer prototype: all the numbers just feel excellent, and you want to keep playing for just a little longer, yknow?
