According to the reviews I just read, a general consensus is that the main characters are a bunch of assholes making their way through a shitty world. So the game isn’t likely to be a pleasant ride if you go in expecting something else.
Whatever message there is, it’s slightly open to interpretation, so if you do go in, try to keep an open mind and experience it objectively.
Not bad. Most reliable critics point out it’s solid, with some flaws in dialogue and drag in the combat system. Inter-person relationship building in the expanded cast seems to be a strong part. My personal category of the game is “it has a punk soul”, which I tend to value higher than any flaws a thing may have.
It is also very much a deliberate “Fuck you! Fight me!” entry in the culture war, so the reactionary responses are correspondingly strong and angry.
In spite of everything I’ve heard I kinda wanna try it. The graphics look good, the story sounds neat. I’m sure I’d have some fun with it. I like the “Fuck you Fight me” aspect too lol. I vibe with punk soul very much, part of the reason I love Cyberpunk 2077.
Even the positive reviews of the games have criticism of how the story is implemented and that the gameplay drags. But on steam it is overall positive and it looks like honest reviews far outnumber the culture war bullshit.
Some of the positive reviews have some good criticism of the main character being manipulative and the game not showing authority being evil, just telling you they are. Kinda reads like a good game and story idea with mediocre implementation.
