I wanted this game for a long time but it turned out to be unplayable with controller and unpleasant to play with keyboard & mouse.

• interesting fighting mechanics (I couldn't wait to try those out)
  
• interesting plot
  
• really interesting graphics style and enemies

• weird to play with mouse & keyboard
  
• broken controller support

Input is the deal breaker. You can enable controller in mouse options. It makes the left stick act like a mouse, turning the camera left and right, but at the same time up and down is walking forward and backwards instead of changing the view angle. The other stick doesn't work at all. You can leave controller option disabled and rebind the keyboard to gamepad. Walking works correctly with the left stick then... but you have to operate the camera with a mouse because the right stick still doesn't work. Simply said, unplayable.

I usually have no way of playing Windows games and won't be able to test this title again when I'm back home so don't expect an edit.

2/10

• semi-engaging story
  
• semi-climatic simplistic pixel...ish graphics

• bad writing (tries to be funny)
  
• naive "moral dilemmas" (black and white really)
  
• no controller support

This game is not what is promised... you might like it if you cry watching cheesy dramas about a lonely guy waking up, going shopping and talking to himself about how he lost his precious puppy. The very same level of excitement. Regardless of what you do the story goes on with minor changes and is barely compelling. Just like in the Raiders of the Lost Ark, the main protagonist is entirely needless. "Would you play a game where you're not a hero?" -- from the game's intro.

• amazing story with a great cliff hanger (!!!!!)
  
• compelling dialogues
  
• voice acting (!)
  
• innovative interface
  
• graphics ❤️ (!!!)

• buggy controls (read below)
  
• short
  
• linear but won't notice on 1st playthrough

This game is seriously something. I immediately fell in love with the main protagonist - Arid, the AI of the mark-7 combat suit awaken to protect its unconscious pilot. Driven by protocols and utilizing loopholes to unlock otherwise unavailable skills she does everything to save Colonel Josephs' life. Will she succeed, depends on you.

Apart from the way the game feels, which is awesome, not so rare issue occurs when switching rapidly between movement modes, i.e. walking, hiding behind cover or using a cloaking subsystem. Arid can get stuck behind a cover or display inability to jump, hide again or even run properly after vaulting over an obstacle and killing an enemy droid. It's minor since action isn't the mine focus of the game but still, this kind of bugs never reflect well on a title, especially version 1.43 where all of the movement bugs should be long gone. That and a way less often observed lack of enemy's dying animation are the only technical issues I encountered during the whole gameplay.

Above said, I strongly recommend this title and can't wait for the next episode.

Yet another space shooter with points. Being honest, it's rather boring and repetitive. Wave after wave of enemies and the mother ship to destroy after the end of each level. Something I got in a bundle, wouldn't pay for it otherwise.

Controller support isn't partial. It's null. Linux, four different controllers, with and without xboxdrv in different configs. Nothing.

• cuts the edge with a decent story
  
• decent voice acting
  
• nice visuals

• not a great fighting experience
  
• not really an RPG
  
• rather childish

Not something I would NG+ but easily killed three afternoons of a sick leave.

A fifteen minutes experience of fine visuals and calming sounds. Not for everyone for sure. Definitely not a challenge. Still, an extraordinary piece in the world of storytelling. Those of you who won't say "What? That's it!?" at the end of this journey will find themselves feeling the very same ambient every time a common household fly swings by.

Doesn't run out of the box: no textures (everything's black), incorrect controller axes order, bus error and crash on wallrun. Waiting for update.

• voice acting (!)
  
• really really funny (!!)
  
• omnomnom visuals and style (!!!)
  
• linear

Can't wait for another chapter. Brings the warm feeling of a good old times point&click classics.

• funny (!!)
  
• voice acting
  
• songs
  
• RPG classic

• buggy (!!!) Linux users read below
  
• outdated visuals

I finished it on Windows many many years ago and, hell, it was fun! It's sad whoever did the job of porting it to Linux didn't put much effort into it.

Interface often doesn't listen, in-game map stops following player's direction after 360 turn, support for generic controller (anything but xbox360) is only partial (and can't remap), abusive particle system sometimes renders game unplayable (if unlucky, one torch on the map will freeze the game entirely).
