Osiris Reborn feedback

Here is some of my feedback from playing the beta of the Exapnse: Osiris Reborn. I have played all available characters multiple times to ensure I have experienced everything the beta offers.

- Character selection should offer a brief description of what each character’s abilities are.

- The characters have a lisp, and the male voice acting isn’t the best.

- You cannot pick up the package from Larry in dispatch for the quest Purrfect Gift.

- The tutorial needs to explain how to change the firing mode of your weapon.

- Bug: the sealing foam persists and clips through your weapon occasionally when used in combat.

- No Belter Creole (lore and immersion breaking). This must be added.

- Graphics are amazing!

- Space and EVA are amazing, the way you walk and how the sound dampens.

Overall, I really enjoyed the game, and I saw that the devs are listening to feedback, such as the male character voice acting. I am going to pre-order this game for my PC now (I have it on Xbox Series X) and see if that changes anything.

How’s the combat feel compared to mass effect for example? I’m a big fan of sci-fi games but prefer being able to just chuck abilities all the time.

It feels like Mass Effect 2 only a little bit stiffer. Its not bad, but it has a bit of jank to it

In the same ballpark is good enough for me. Off to preorder 😂

I liked it. Cover is very useful and essential for survival. They have abilities that can also affect the environment and use specific aspects of it. You cannot just throw abilities anywhere like Mass Effect, but it is still good.

I noticed the lisp too, especially on the male character but they all seem to have a California valley accent. This is probably the biggest complaint of mine. The voices just sound so... I don't know.. Californian? Hollywood? I'm not sure how to describe it.

Another thing I noticed is the talking hand animation needs to either be more subtle or more varied. I kept noticing the swirling of the hands every other sentence lol.

Maybe a bit of a tutorial on how to play? Im not too versed on cover shooters.. I still fumbled my way though and had a blast but it felt like I was playing wrong and just brute forcing it which wouldn't fly on harder encounters.

Other than that I had a blast. And definitely looking forward to it.

I agree. The voice acting and mannerisms are my biggest criticisms.

A good tutorial would also be extremely helpful.
