I've put 10 hours into this game and I cannot stand it. This has to be one of my most hated games I've ever played, and it mostly stems from the controls. It's clear the developers were going for a specific thing (no in game UI, you need to interact with things physically in the world) but the execution of it is SO POOR. It's excruciating to actually play the game. It really feels like the game is fighting me/trolling me at every step. I have a really hard time believing that this game was actually play tested very much by the people who made it.

All my time in the game was spent in the tutorial and I hadn't completed it yet when I needed to leave. Apparently they block you from saving at all until you complete the tutorial. Totally baffling.

There is also no ability to suspend and come back if you're mid-mission. According to the studio, there are technical reasons for the overly restrictive save setup, and their responses indicate they are adamant it will never be changed. It's pretty disheartening that they seem to have decided this was a trade off worth making.

I've had to refund the game due to this, but if I see it gets changed later, I will consider repurchasing it, because I was enjoying the vibes of the game otherwise.

This game is fun as hell and has so much heart.

Overall, the game was fun. Really surprised at some of the voice acting in the side missions. There was some emotional range and dialogue that was beautfilly human and just damn good. Combat was wonky. Difficulty felt uneven at times and then mostly evaporated by the end, save for a really frustrating bit or two at the very end.

Unfortunately, the ending(s) are horrifically bad and completely unsatisfying. It feels like the team just didn't know where the story was going and just gave up. If you're one of those people that can have games ruined by bad endings, probably stay away from this one. I am one of those people and it's pretty much soured the game for me at this point.
