I'd say this is a good game, on sale.
Firstly dont get fooled by the people saying this is Soviet/Russian propaganda, the game has a soviet era setting, yes, but it isnt for that motive that it can be classified as propaganda or biased. If you think so you probably have very little in terms of IQ. The game even has a few jokes and bashes towards the soviet/communist society.
Anyway, graphically the game is great, there are a few enemies which are fun to deal with, you have access to a lot of cool and fun skills and weapons which u can modify and upgrade, the combat feels nice and somewhat fluid depending on the enemies (some bosses might be spammy). The soundtrack is just incredible, it fits the game so good and also has a ton of variety in terms of genres. In regards to lore, the game is very great with a lot of details and some hidden stuff, i recomend reading a lot of the PEARS (the computers). The optimization is just amazing, nowadays games with such optimization are very few so this is very nice to have. The story is also nice, it has a lot of twists leading to two endings which are different.

With all this being said, i also have a few bad things to say about it, firstly, the open world. I dont think this aspect is that good ngl, while it has some locations to explore and a few facilities which you might want to go to, the main fun you have is the linear "levels" where you go and do puzzles, fight, and just have regular fun. The open world is just annoying, everytime you kill enemies there comes more enemies to repair the robots you just killed, and said mechanic robots reach the fight zone very quickly since there are spawn bases so close to each other, also to note that said mechanic robots are infinite and never stop spawning so exploring the open world just feels annoying and u kinda stop having the desire to explore anymore, in the beggining you may be inclined to fight every robot.. but in the mid to end game u just skip and run/drive thru them and dont even bother with it. The Boss fights while some being great, there are some ones (im looking at you Plyusch) which are cool and fun at first but then it just gets annoying, a bit disapointing killing a miniboss/boss and then having to deal with it again and again in the next location. the enemies while varied in the begining stop being so in mid/late game, its just the same enemies a lot of the time.

Still, overall i had fun with the game, i did 2 runs while the latter was while doing New game+ which introduces new habilites to some robots. I think there were aspects which could be improved upon, hopefully in the sequel, but i think its worth buying.
