*These Are Just Notes Taken While I Played The Game*
The Good: The story in this game has been interesting and one of the few points keeping engaged while playing. While you trek through the game there will be bits and pieces of story given to you and tell you more on the on going social and personal conflicts within this world.
During your trek you will be told to make decisions and each one while have either a positive or negative reaction. I loved that whether you get to be stealthy and avoid as much conflict, or being diplomatic and try to solve things without any violence and a couple other choices as well!
The Bad: Pacing... OMG the pacing in the game the characters walk but they walk so slow and maybe for me it should have speed walking or running with a negative buff on your survival status. I started to zone out a bit half way since the slow pace did deter me and made me feel bored.
The Ugly: resources. After the 3/4th way of the game there is a sudden resource drought and it felt unexpected as most of the game there were enough resources to keep your squad alive enough to keep going. This could just be due to my play-through. More info on this in the IMO section.
IMO: So this game... It’s been a pretty average experience for me and that’s due to having a good story to keep my attention but not enough where I would remember to play this game the next day. Thankfully, this game depending on how your play-through is, You can run through this game start to finish within 2-3 hours. Now talking about how long this can take you, this game pacing like I said before is really slow and may make you check the time thinking you spent 3-4 hours when it was only 30 minutes and that’s not a feeling I want a game to make me feel. To elaborate further on the resources section. This game has the choices and near the end I lost 2 out of the 4 squad mates. Will say 1 of them died due to my dumb choice but other one died due to being basically at the end but decided to take camp to prevent a death of one of them but due to once your at the end of the game you no longer get resources so your characters still lose survival status while being at the end where i feel should have not happened but none the less I lost my 2 squad mate due to this. Again thought will note this could be due to my play-through and the decisions I have made while playing. I call it ugly part of the game as I felt if you are at the end where I personally feel the survival status should no longer be in affect.
Thanks for reading my ted talk!
