I'd only suggest this game if it is on sale. No game breaking bugs but quite a bit of frustration. The activities priorities seems to be more of a suggestion that anything else. I've turned them all on where I can but people either wouldn't do some of the activities I needed done or they would still do them even tho I turned them to the lowest priority while other high priority stuff needed to be done. The drones are very useful (they will carry resources) but seem very inconsistent. they will interact with some production buildings but not all, and while their range is unlimited they seem to keep close to their stations. I've had numerous fields be too far away for them to retrieve harvested crops. While not game breaking it is just frustrating to deal with. The amount of resources needed for things is very inconsistent. Building's take ungodly amounts of resources.

Pipes are a major part of the game. Fuel/electricity/ and probably more gets run through them. There seems to be very specific rules on how to run pipes that it doesn't tell you. I tried building things with 2/3/4 spaces between them as I knew I needed run pipes around them. Then for some reason I couldn't I'm not sure how much space needs to be between buildings to allow pipes to be run through them but I didn't feel like finding out.

This games seems like a Gears of Wars and Destiny 2 mix. It has pretty graphics on an alien world oooOooO. The game play is fairly lack luster. I spend half my time fighting with using cover vs trying to get out of cover (and not leaping over my cover into death). There are ... 3 or 4 "factions" of enemies which boils down to melee bullet sponges and ranged bullet sponges. There's no real mechanics to most enemies other than crit shoot them a ton. Boss enemies can have their powers interrupted so there's 1 mechanic on an enemy for the whole game. I might find this game ok at $20 but not at the current full price. People Can Fly has spent so much time chasing game breaking bugs that they have implemented just about no quality of life changes that are desperately needed. Gear gets an icon when it is "new" but dying or loading the game resets the info. Also I've had a bug where all gear is marked as new every time you open your inventory so that means finding new gear is a ♥♥♥♥ show. The "world tier" is like upping your torment level in D3. This has no effect on exp rates. If you want to level fast drop the world tier but you'll get no good gear ... which you don't need for the easy enemies it is just dumb to get whites/greens the whole game. I'm leveling my second character and it is just a SLOG. The story is only interesting for the last like 1/10 of the game, the rest is just running through it to get to that part or the end game expeditions. I'd rate it a 2.8 out of 5. It is pretty which seems to count for more than game play and story combined these days. The combat is ... sorta fast paced and ok. Powers are all on cool downs so it is pretty run and gun. The current best gear is to farm legendary's for mods (the powers on them) to salvage so you can put on good weapons. You take greens at late game and power up their level and rarity. Finding rare gear that fits what you are doing is almost impossible. Figuring out when you have an upgrade over a current piece of gear is a nightmare also as there's no history or preview to see what your original piece was at before you powered it up. So you need to power up the "new" piece and hope it is better.

Great game, reinstalling it so I can go through it again. I wish they did more with this system!

very buggy. Large sections of the world where you can fall to oblivious as it doesn't generate correctly.

I want to like this game. It has TONS of aspects I love. Except the crotch punching. If you like wasting 60 - 80% of your time then this is the game for you. Expect to fail most missions and for the random number generator to hate you. Upon failure you will waste resources, stress out your guys (which takes time and money to heal), get them negative quirks and similar effects.

I love the art, atmosphere, audio, rpg elements. All great. I'm even willing to toss them a bone that I'm not the perfect customer for this game.

It is just frustating to play. When you see your characters get crit 6 attacks in a row and you miss 4 of yours you will wondery why you didn't go do something useful with your time ... like dishes.

I've been following this game since beta ... at this point just sad.

Instead of balancing classes they add ♥♥♥♥♥♥ aspects (corpses) to add benefit to the bleed and blight mechanics except it is almost impossible to actually kill things with them if you have any actual physical attackers.

Great puzzle game for a great price!
