I really, really wanted to enjoy this game. I feel like the idea and the execution are original, and, perhaps if I could get more than an hour into the thick of things, I'd learn to love it. However, the story is a bit of a throwaway -- the characters were stiff and unrelatable from the start. On its own, that is manageable, but the click-to-act controls are a but clunky, and the survival mechanisms, while thoroughly designed, get bogged down in excessive menus that didn't resonate well with me. Unfortunately, the time did spend with the game was more laborious than enjoyable.

"FUN!?"

This title lives up to the hype, for reals.

This game is so GPU intense. It ran pretty well until I got to the first main city, where I found myself lagging hard and crashing constantly. I'd suggest avoiding this if you're just meeting the minimum spec requirements.

Pretty fun, though.

Got this for free with a hardware purchase. It was one of the first "cinematic" experieces I've had in a game and it blew me away. Sits pretty high on my list of favorite action titles.

great hat sim

There's no way I would pay full price for this game with the current amount of content. You're given the illusion of freedom, but, once you play enough, you can catch on to the developers' intentions on how they would like you to progress through each type of mission, and the fun of the challenge immediately dissipates.

Got this on sale after really enjoying its predecessor. Spent about two dozen hours going through some great gameplay. The story is weak, but the diversity of the levels and puzzles more than makes up for it.

Derivative gameplay. Initial impressions seemed to indicate a pretty heavy reliance on style, brushing most of the characters with broad, stereotypical strokes.
