Yeah i was interested in this.  Wanted to see reviews. So seems like it's pretty good

[nnodley]

Bought this as I had a $5 reward on PS stars and it was on PS Plus discount.  Not sure when I'll find time to play, but add it to the list

Oh it's really just a base building game. I expected base building to be secondary.

I feel like I'm playing Death Stranding.

Hate it when my Xbox changes games on me

Oh is that it? Is Alters not supposed to have a baby friend?

[Legend]

Not feeling it with the game. Simething isn't clicking. I feel like I'm sinking and falling behind, like I made some giant mistakes.

Finished Act 1, getting a better hang of most systems.

Oh man these are the worst rpg choices I've ever experienced!


Game forces option A or option B on me. I know different companions will have very strong opinions about this.

My fav companion says option A kinda sucks. But then I bring up option B and he yells at me as if I'm evil for even considering it. So I go with option A.

And now I guess he will hate me forever!?!? I have no idea how this makes sense. Whole game has had bad dialogue choices but this takes the cake.


Another interesting thing is that sometimes companions get mad at you for asking about things. So I think you're supposed to be smart and not. But my game brain just wants to exhaust every dialogue option! Finally gonna try ignoring a companion that has a speech bubble over his head.


Gameplay and world are fun, but I got smart and got way too good. Now I'm like a god with so much free time to kill. Day 56 or something like that, all set to end Act 2 but going to give my scientist more time to research stuff. He's the only thing holding me back.

Wheel is max upgraded and the bonus is seemingly max upgraded.

Finished.

I liked my time with it but nothing was great. The rpg and dialogue choices really sucked at times but they didn't get too much in the way of enjoying the rest.


No clue how to rate it. 3-6/10 on my scale with 5 being average. The base building was very simple, very very simple, but maybe that isn't a negative? I just don't know with this game.

And my final cutscene glitched. I got to walk around in a white skybox. Had to reset. Other than that, very very few glitches.


Edt: I think I was just too good lol, optimized way too much after my early close call. Watched a review from someone else and he had a much more tense and exciting time.

I made 10 of the hard to build "thing" and the game stopped counting at 5. My ending felt ok, maybe it was the good ending.
