First I had to fight the error of "The program cannot start because the PlayStation PC SDK runtime is missing from you computer."

Then I got past that and wham, the FIRST THING the game does is launch your browser. No menu, no cutscene, no "Hey, welcome to the game." BAM, just a black screen and your browser.

Once I got past that now I'm stuck on "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server." "Can't connect to the server."

You shouldn't get these errors for a single-player game.

Also it wouldn't launch via proton on PopOS. I know it's launch day and it's probably something that will be fixed but I got it to at least fire up with "SteamDeck=1 %command%" as a launch option, no quotes.

I don't care if it runs on deck. I'm refunding until either the sign in requirement is either removed or modded out.

They had such a good vibe going with the first half of RE7. They really nailed the atmosphere and the writing was decent. It turned to slop in the back half and this game just decided to move forward with that. I don't mind that it's cheesy. I mind that it's messy. The writing is god awful and at times cringy to sit through. I know RE games aren't known for their amazing writing, but my god is this a step backwards.

I think one of the biggest problems is how unlikable the character of Ethan is. Any time he speaks I wince. (Not a knock on the actor, the writing is terrible.)

The other thing I find really terrible and annoying is how OLD and lazy this game feels. For instance, hey you're captured! You must find a way to break free of your restraints (which are just magic strings tied to nothing in the ceiling). Oh, you managed to break free, good news THEY LEFT YOU WITH ALL YOUR WEAPONS. They do this multiple times. Oh several "bosses" are weak to the cold? (Thankfully it's winter and they live in a castle surrounded by weak walls or fragile windows!)

I almost turned this off after I saw a villain with a giant floating hammer, but I decided to give a chance. At some point the big lady said "Don't waste my time." That's how I felt about this game.

Sorry if you like this, but it's not for me. This feels more like an amusement ride than a game. Sure you have ammo, most enemies are just bullet sponges that you can never kill. The level design seems focused on keeping you moving forward, even though there is some backtracking it almost feels like it was made with speed runners in mind. Sure Lady D will chase you, but she gets amnesia when you enter certain rooms. I know there is survival horror and action horror, but this feels like neither. At least in RE4 you could run out of ammo and some enemies really were a threat. This game feels like baby's first horror game.

4/10

Do you like Frostpunk? Do you want more anxiety? Do you like space?
It's great. I loved it. I made mistakes. Lots of mistakes, but I beat it. Then I immediately played it again and did so much better.

I have never actually wanted DLC for a game more. I need an endless mode, or possibly other survival scenarios.
It's not heavy on story, but what is there is great and there is a lot of story hidden in places you might not expect.

Please make a DLC! I can't wait for more!

Edit: They changed the name of the game from Backbone to Tails Noir, what the heck?

This is one of those games that makes me wish there was a neutral button on Steam reviews. The artwork, the soundtrack, the vibe is all fantastic. The first half of the story is great and really sucks you in. The back half of the story and the ending though... I would just say it's inconsistent with the first half. When the story felt like it was getting going it ends out of nowhere with none of the threads wrapped up at all.

It's a detective game where you solve nothing. It's unfortunate it went off the rails.

It's a game that has awesome bones but I would consider it flawed. Something went wrong somewhere in making this game.
Based off my early impressions of this game though I am interested to see what Eggnut puts out next.

My "yes" recommendation is based off the first half of the game, the artwork, the music, the vibe, and Howard.

I've played this game for 64 hours at this point, I wish I hadn't. The first few hours are enjoyable and have a decent enough hook, but then the game never really gets more interesting.
I kept playing, thinking it would get better, but it just never did.

Oh, upgrades for the bike? Cool. They make the bike faster or make it so you take less damage.
Do you get to throw grenades from the bike? No. Do you get a flamethrower on your bike? No?
Does upgrading the bike get you anything cool? Not really.

Okay, then you must get some pretty cool weapons then right?
Not really. Shotguns, automatic rifles and sniper rifles.

Oh then the story must be pretty good?
Every single character sucks and is annoying. You will be 20 steps ahead of the story the whole time. It is generic and boring.

Oh so then the game must have some cool technical achievements?
Nope, it's a fairly standard open world game that ran out of ideas really fast.

If you want a repetitive mix of The Walking Dead and The Last of Us with motorcycles, this is for you.

If you want to play a better game, play Mad Max. It has its flaws too, but at least you can be SHINY AND CHROME.

I'm just under my refund period and I really don't care. I hate the crane thing. I hate the climbing. I hate the melee weapons.
I just want to start the damn game and I can't. The game seems to intentionally slow you down by making you "try out all the cool features" but really I feel like it's just eating into your refund period.

I wanted to like Boneworks and I ended up hating it.
I wanted to believe this would be somewhat better, and it's more of the same.

Boneworks was the only VR game to give me motion sickness. Bonelab is now another game that gives me motion sickness.

I can't seem to hold onto guns with my Index controllers. Even though I'm holding on full force it keeps dropping guns.

Radios in the game are SO LOUD and do not respond to the MUSIC setting in the options, figure that one out.

Maybe I'll try and play some more, maybe I'll just refund. Not a sign of a great game, IMHO.

I'm an hour or so in, I have no idea who I am, or where I am, all I know is that I must kill.

I couldn't do it. I'm sorry. The game seemed neat, but I couldn't handle the writing and the characters. I found myself using the fast forward for all the dialog. Maybe the game is fun, but I couldn't stand to find out, I ended up refunding the game.

I saw this game advertised a while ago. I remember seeing the art style and saying, that looks like a cute space game, I’ll probably play it at some point. Then, I kind of forgot about it.

Recently a friend of mine picked it up and wouldn’t shut up about it, but also without spoiling it. He was ranting and raving like someone who had seen something the rest of society wouldn’t believe. He tried to get me to put on the metaphorical magic sunglasses and I just wouldn’t listen. We got in a 6 minute long fight scene in the back of an alley because he wanted me to wear the damn sunglasses, but I refused and we just kept beating the crap out of each other.

Then, finally I gave in and said “damn this is good.”

This game is probably the best science fiction game I’ve ever played. For sure the best I’ve played in a long time. There are only so many things I can say without spoiling the game. I can tell you that the game does not hold your hand, it expects you to find things that put the pieces together. It does a good job keeping track of things once they’ve been discovered. The game is so well polished without being distracting. Thought has gone into all aspects of the game. It genuinely feels like I’m playing an episode from any number of my favorite Sci-Fi shows.

I genuinely don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this.
THEY NEED TO PUT ON THE METAPHORICAL MAGIC SUNGLASSES.

I will say I haven’t gotten to the DLC yet. I’ve heard some mixed reviews on it, but I’ll hold out until I see for myself. But my expectations are high based off my experience with the base game.

If you have interest in space, science fiction, or even just a good story, consider this game. Go in as blind as you possibly can and take your time. You’ll have plenty of it.

tl;dr: Great card & puzzle game, great story, worth full price, go in knowing as little as possible.

I went into this game having played some of the previous titles made by Daniel Mullins, so I knew to expect the unexpected. I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I did.

It takes a special game to get me pulled into a deck building game, and the early pacing of this game managed to pull me in and hook me.

I would say the best way to play this game is go in as blind as you can. It’s a deck building game with some puzzles. It’s well made, and it knows what it’s doing.

Now that being said I will say that there is a section of the game that I found as a low point. I ended up putting the game down for a little while. After some time, I came back, and the game did pick up in a big way. Just know that everything is done with a purpose. The game is worth it and is satisfying. I can’t wait to play through again. This is one of those games like Return of the Obra Dinn that I wish I could forget play again for the first time.

Now, one of the reasons I picked the game back up recently, was how awesome the developer is. They listened, realized their audience REALLY liked a particular part of the game, and is making it so you can now play MORE of that part of the game. This is the kind of developer / customer relationship I love to see.

Great game / 10

Would pay full price.

Can’t wait to see what they do next.
