This is so much fun. It's challenging and addictive. There's always that feeling of urgency, always going to be another mountain which you're always going to want to make move. It's a constant uphill battle and you're not always going to prevail. It doesn't matter how quickly you reach the end or what is waiting for you there. All that matters is your ascent.

A game you get lost in. The giant, tiled rooms and water everywhere reminded me of the traumatic time I almost drowned when I was a child.

Such nostalgia. 10/10.

Early Access Review
So far, I love this game. It has some bugs, but that's to be expected at this stage. The gameplay is immersive and a lot of fun; teamwork is essential unless you're really skilled, and it's easy to find yourself overpowered if you're not careful.

I'm really excited to see where the devs take this game. They're putting so much thought and effort into making it great.

Good, but flawed. It's similar to XCOM, the infiltration missions are fun and it's satisfying when you complete a mission.

That said, the game doesn't seem to explain things well. I found out by trial and error how to make the right preparations, how to move where I want and how certain features actually work. I've also had to reload on occasion because the characters seem to wait indefinitely before doing what you tell them, but reloading seems to help.

Certainly not as good as XCOM, but still decent.

Good so far

Pros: Challenging, immersive, map feels pretty big, stealth elements are fun

Cons: Missions are good but feel very similar to each other, no real end cutscene, objects can fall through floors when dropped

Still a great game, but I hope they improve.

Pretty decent, if a bit short. The atmosphere is really creepy and claustrophobic, and there's quite a lot to the lore of the game despite its length. It looks like there's a lot to expand upon and I really hope there's a sequel to this game.

So far, I think it's really good. The combat feels more difficult than before, especially with the new enemies. I still get that feeling of unease that I had in the previous game and I like that I can craft and cook a lot more things.

One downside is the size of the map. It's so big that it takes ages to walk from one place to another. There are some motorised unicycles lying around, so be sure to keep one with you.

I like the blonde mutant lady too.

I got the game on sale and I wouldn't recommend paying full price.

The game is enjoyable, but it can get repetitive at times. Making money felt a bit difficult because the main quests don't pay huge amounts of money, and you need money if you want to get that sweet chrome to become the ultimate cyborg with built-in forearm blades. That said, I like the combat and the different weapons. You can also use hacking for combat and stealth. The game looks amazing, though I don't think the map needed to be so big. I found myself fast travelling to a lot of places and it feels like most of the space in between has little importance to the game.

So, it is good, but maybe wait until it's on sale.

Not bad, but overpriced

I bought the game when it was on sale and I wouldn't have bought it at full price. The game has a creepy dystopian feel and I quite liked the story. I liked the sneaking missions too. That said, the AI is pretty bad, you can become overpowered near the end and you do a lot of walking, which can be tedious. There also seem to be a few bugs that haven't been fixed.

So I don't think it's worth £44.99, but if you can get it cheap, it's okay.

It's pretty short, but enjoyable. The puzzles are ok and it was pretty creepy. It would have been good to be able to save certain points or to go back to earlier stages because there are items you can miss.

Not a bad child abduction simulator.
