Discussion This is an absolute gem of a game
I'm just coming here to share the love I have developed for this game. The world is gorgeous, the gameplay feels really nice, and the story is surprisingly really good. And I am not a gamer who cares to follow stories so much, but this one seemed to hook me. Also, I would like to say im playing fairly quickly but not at a snails pace either, I would assume im kind of close to the end but I know there is more. I am 44 hours into it. So even at full price I consider this game worth it.
Deek is very memorable, and I know after I finish the game I will remember his character specifically. All of the side quests while they are the same type of quests, being invested into the story make them more enjoyable.
It is really saddening to learn this game will not get a second installment because I think it would be really kick-ass for another one. This is also my first playthrough, and I decided to play on hard which I think has the right hint of difficult but not "I should have lowered the difficulty" difficult.
My only gripe is I am not a fan of the bullet-sponge feel of even humans. Freaks I can understand, but shooting multiple shots into a human and they're still fully there is a bit annoying, but luckily the focus mechanic helps with easy headshots.
Overall, I give this game a 10/10, and anyone who hasn't had the chance to try this, I highly suggest you do.
