The game has a lot of issues, seems like it wasn't really playtested by anyone who likes the genre of the game it was supposedly a sequel for.

It commits multiple deadly sins for point & click adventure games, e.g. you have to keep clicking on the same dialogue options over and over again to get the full text, and *sometimes* when you're done the text turns gray, sometimes it vanishes. The dialogue system is very unpredictable in general. Also you have items the game teaches you you can do nothing about until randomly later on you have to ask someone about it for no obvious reason then you can interact with it. You kinda click on people to interact with them, but then you choose if you want to examine, talk to, or use an inventory item on them. Once you choose to use an inventory item, you have to scroll through the list to see which ones you can try, and then .. the person walks away which closes the menu.

I guess as a positive note it has a built-in hint system, but I've also had to use it way more than in any other game I've ever played.

The movement is supposedly WASD + mouse for camera, shift to run, except that with some combination of these A and D also turn the camera slowly, sometimes fast, it's incredibly unpleasant and unpredictable. Whoever designed these controls has also never played a game that controls with WASD + mouse. The game also regularly fails to register keypresses because the devs apparently didn't think you can press and hold a key, and expect you to release and press again on a regular basis. They also semi-randomly decide to disable the jog key because they want you to waste your time on more dialogue while walking along a long corridor.

The game is unstable, it locked up when I put some of the hacking elements in an order the game I guess didn't expect, and suddenly crashed to desktop mid-game at a later point.

The "hacking" system is sort of neat and fun, but the developers were so careless with it that it's easy to end up in a state that is unsolvable and thus they included a "reset this entire area" -button which you have to discover by having locked yourself into an unknowingly unsolvable state after the hint system tells you to do something you can't do. The hacking distance is completely unpredictable and nonsensical and changes completely depending on whatever the devs felt was necessary to solve whatever puzzle they were hand-crafting. Sometimes you can interact with a device from 2 meters away, sometimes 15 meters away, you have to run around scanning all the time to find all the things you could possibly interact with because of this, and that disables all the other interaction points so you don't want to do it unless you expect to find something.

The people who made this seem to have forgotten the evolution of point & click adventure games in general, and like how having to walk between multiple screens quickly meant you had to add quick travel and double clicking on transition areas to quick move there, but no, in this game you have shift to jog. Half of the dialogue you can't skip, and having any dialogue going on disables all interaction points. None of the long transition animations when going from one location to another etc. can't be skipped.

The final section of the game is some of the lamest dribble I've ever seen in any "sci-fi", it also destroys the foundations of the story it was built on.

I'm a huge fan of the original having played it on release back in the day. I wasn't sure how I felt about the sequel upon seeing the 3D comic style graphics as opposed to the classic pixel art I was used to. I just got round to playing it now and I'm really enjoying the experience so far. Good puzzles and story telling has me engaged and wanting to play again.

I read people complaining how linear the game feels, though this is basically like an old style point and click adventure game and it's good fun. Worth playing if you are a fan of the original.

This game has been abandoned. Don't waste your time.

Some of the solutions are pretty arbitrary. The entire game is completely linear. There is not a single occasion where 2 different solutions, or 2 different orders of events, are allowed. It's like reading a book where the pages are scattered and you have to find the right order
