The game's story is generally well-received, featuring engaging lore, diverse voice acting, and humorous dialogue that enhances character interactions. While some players appreciate the compelling narrative and environmental storytelling, others find it repetitive and lacking in clarity, with a desire for more quest variety and refinement. Overall, the story adds depth to the gameplay, despite some criticisms regarding its coherence and execution.
“Awesome story with lore that makes you want to do the side quests to learn more about the inhabitants you come across, plus a funny dialogue system that makes each encounter funnier than the last!”
“Great concept, a bit buggy, with frame loss, but a solid story, good soundtrack, and fun gameplay.”
“Story makes no sense, gunplay is joyless and the game as a whole lacks refinement.”
“Multiple outcomes to quests could have really elevated this game.”
“A lot of the story is told through dialogue with other characters, and is pretty well written in a sarcastic, dark humor kind of way.”

The gameplay is characterized by refreshing environments and a gradually increasing difficulty that keeps it entertaining, though some players find it reminiscent of a beginner's project due to its bugs and frame rate issues. While the core gameplay loop of completing quests and upgrading equipment can be addictive, it also has notable weaknesses that may deter some players, particularly those seeking a more fast-paced experience. Overall, it offers a solid story and enjoyable elements, but its execution leaves room for improvement.
“I'm currently on planet Vylecks and am finding the different environments to be very refreshing, and the increasing difficulty as you progress makes gameplay entertaining!”
“Great concept, a bit buggy with frame loss, but a solid story, good soundtrack, and fun gameplay.”
“I can see how the gameplay loop can be addicting, doing quests, getting upgrades from outposts, and acquiring new weapons and equipment from quests.”
“Sure, the general gameplay of sneaking around can sort of work, but it still feels like a half-done 'my first game' project.”
“This review is subject to change as I get further into the game, but after around the first hour of gameplay, I can't really recommend it for a few reasons.”
“Although the game is definitely worth playing if you like this more cerebral, slow-paced type of FPS gameplay, it definitely has its weaknesses.”
