Unusable control scheme and endless unskippable rubbish.

Wait till it's under $10 or something.

Headache inducing, eye straining darkness - the game.

I won't be spending any money on this due to a couple things. Mostly due to the Devs not respecting that people have to spend real time using their their awful systems - None of the issues many people had with these time wasting systems with the Beta have been addressed.

It is not quick to do anything, everything has a dumb cut scene or animation or extra screen - EVERYTHING. When you take something out of research or you make something or you level up or whatever - it's a painful system that wastes hours I could be spending actually playing the game and enjoying it - I would be happy to spend a few quid on something if they just fixed that.

No fast travel menu. Within "town" you have to walk everywhere through it's ridiculous layout without a straight path anywhere - often back and forth multiple times through something that makes no sense for humans at all. There are TWO fast travel points in the town and they are both equally far away from everything.

The constant running back and forth to NPCs is terrible. Run to this pink marker, Press E, Press a button with the mouse, wait 2 secs, Hold Esc. Repeat. The story is AWFUL and the voice acting patronising and trite LET US SKIP THIS TRASH.

Movement system and collision is awful, get stuck on enemies, get stuck on the floor, get stuck in walls, GET STUCK ON YOUR TEAM - yeah give us a movement based character that requires the being able to move to do damage and then make it get stuck on EVERYTHING - can't even run up a slight slope without dead stopping.

Gunplay is terrible. You can't use cover as standing within 6ft of a anything solid means you are shooting the solid object and not the enemy you have a clear unobstructed aim of - most notably in the boring ass boss arena where you can't take cover but the boss can!

Mission clarity is terrible. Newer players have no idea what is going on when walking into some missions and there is no way to communicate what is going on to them, it can take multiple failures before they either leave or get the hint and start following the lead of someone who knows what they are doing.

The UI - Simple things like being able to go back in menus without having to leave the interface and start over are missing, Its an absolute hot mess of disjointed systems mashed together.

The HUD - LET ME REMOVE THE HEALTH AND AMMO FROM FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DAMN SCREEN!!! PUT IT IN THE CORNER LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME FFS. Why do we have those icons in the right? PUT MY DAMN AMMO COUNT THERE! PUT MY HEALTH AND SHIELD AT THE BOTTOM!! make the other blue bars TINY and put them under the health and shield - they literally don't matter.

Terrible game - flash in the pan trying to take the best parts of Warframe, Destiny and FIREFALL and mash them together, but leaving in all the bad parts no-one wants too.

Game was fun while it worked. Erez Goren is terrible CEO and borderline scammer - Prophecy games has a few good devs being wasted by a egomaniac with more money than sense.

Game is great fun, worth the £15.

Some people are mad at some pretty dumb stuff, and some people have concerns over how the game is being managed, but that happens with pretty much all games to one extent or another.

Maybe don't buy the skins pack if you don't want to, idk I feel like I got my moneys worth easily.

But the game itself is great.

Only challenging part of this game is sitting through 5 mins unskippable UI animations and cutscene for every 10 minutes of buggy mission without wanting to stand under an incoming drop pod in real life.

Don't give Ubisoft any money. They don't deserve to continue as a company for how they treat their customers and users.

Apart from the confusing and convoluted method the devs/publishers have chosen to organise the content for this game, their even worse method of purchasing the parts to get the full "world of assassination", the awful time gated missions that should be available at the very least on automatic rotation so that everyone gets a chance to play, and their abomination of a website - The game itself is excellent.

I guess that's the trade off, good game, awful everything else.

Pretend there is a vague "hitting on men" joke in here somewhere so it matches every other review.

It's a better, darker, less annoying, more fun version of Stardew Valley...

But with corpses, and witch burning, and reanimating the dead into zombies to make wine.

It's like playing an episode of Cadfael, but funnier.

Rockstar have no clue how to design a user interface or control scheme, and have told me in no uncertain terms that people with disabilities should not be playing their games - especially if we want to remap actions to keys to help with non standard input devices.

It's taken me over 15 hours to get 8% of the way into the game, having to reload multiple times because you can't separate short and long press actions from keys. For example trying to untie someone that's been rescued - you just stomp on them and have to reload to try again.

I wouldn't wish my degenerative musculoskeletal conditions on anyone, but for whoever at rockstar designed these input schemes I'll make an exception.
