Picked this up at the weekend from CDKeys. It does feel like a game from five years ago with a 4k texture mod thrown at it. That said, I'm rather enjoying it - not very deep or challenging but keeping me engaged so far. Nice to have something reasonably short and undemanding to play after finally finishing Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Just finished my first playthrough, enjoyed it and I think I'm definitely going to get a second go at least with a different play style.
It maybe feels small for the size of the story it tries to write, but the length/ size of the game overall I think is ok, and definitely lends itself to replaying.
The companion quest lines I thought mostly worked quite well too, they seemed to be a little more than just pack mules with guns which was nice.

The “disguise” bit feels rather bolted on.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Yeah also the hacking and stealing you pretty much never get spotted so you can do it with impunity and even if you do can talk your way out of it

Just got to that bit but it's not clear how one uses the holographic thingumabob

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Its automatic just wander into restricted zone and it comes on, it runs out then you talk your way out of it 3 times before it stops working

[judas]

That's odd. I wandered into the first restricted zone on the Groundbreaker and was attacked on sight

[Trustmeimadoctor]

there is an outfit per planet

[Mr E]

I resorted to Mr Flamethrower.

Oh, I killed them all - that wasn't the problem. It just seemed to miss the point somewhat, so I reloaded the last pre-massacre save and went elsewhere for the time being.

[Mr E]

Done.
I really wanted to like that more than I did.
Funny in places, interesting ideas but just *thin*.

Ending was abrupt

Received this for Christmas and played a little bit yesterday.

Definitely has the feel of fallout about it, which I’m very happy about. So far I feel that it’s a bit like fallout meets borderlands.

[snuffy]

Just bought it for £27.49 on Epic. Seems a fair price.

[snuffy]

I'm finding it quite odd.

[imperium]

I wanted to like this game more than I do. It doesn’t feel especially immersive to me which makes it difficult to get into the story.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thought I'd jump into the DLC last night, only to find you can't just start it anywhere and I'll have to start a 3rd play through to get to it.

Will probably just play the DLC part, as I can't be arsed doing another full play through just to see if changes the ending.
