I was willing to like it, I mean it's rare we get games with interesting art direction. But this game is actually a very mixed bags of eurojank, terrible and even off-putting writing and overall just bad game structure and design.

From the beginning you can tell that the game doesn't have anywhere near the finess, the maturity and the class of Bioshock: all NPCs female models have the same face, there are 3 NPCs with neurodevice exactly the same, audio lines are messy and super-imposed, set-dressing and decoration is really inegal, and will the city in the beginning is a nice sight which makes you realize there's no FOV slider whatsoever, you start realizing how terrible writing is really terrible and unfortunately is everything I dislike about modern Russian culture: outdated bad tasted couch potato bros. The fridge scene could've been fun but instead they weren't with a very tasteless lines, and that's where I actually starting disliking the game and seeing for what it is: a badly designed, redundant, janky, unsophisticated mess in one of the most promising, interesting world building since Bioshock, but nowhere near and I mean miles below the latter.

In fact passed the intro, the game started to bore me and feel repetitive very quickly, so I don't recommend buying the game and instead waiting for it to be really cheap to play the first tencile of the game after which point it falls to all it's shortcoming and dialogues continue to become annoying.
