  • story
    392 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, with many players finding it engaging and well-crafted, particularly praising its rich lore and the variety of side quests that enhance the main narrative. However, some reviewers noted that the main plot can feel short or underwhelming, and technical issues such as quest bugs and unclear objectives detract from the overall experience. While the setting and character interactions are often highlighted as strong points, the execution can be marred by a lack of polish and coherence in quest design.

    • “The story is great and does a good job giving you an idea of how it feels to be an assassin and thief in this dystopian post-apocalyptic world.”
    • “The story is easily the strongest element in the whole game and I really hope to see more storytelling from these devs in the future, whatever form it might take.”
    • “The story and setting are fantastic and the mostly fully voice acted dialogue is extremely well done.”
    • “The main plot is not interesting.”
    • “The story, for me anyway, I didn't give a crap about and wasn't at all invested in the characters.”
    • “The main storyline is bugged to the point of being incompletable.”
  • gameplay
    202 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by a mix of stealth, thievery, and exploration mechanics, offering players a variety of ways to approach objectives. While the core mechanics are engaging and provide a unique experience, many players note issues with clunky controls, poorly explained systems, and inconsistent AI behavior that can detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these flaws, the game is praised for its rich world-building and the potential for creative gameplay, particularly for fans of stealth and RPG elements.

    • “The looting is fun, and managing the components you have vs. what you need to craft drives the gameplay loop.”
    • “Fun exploration, well put together stealth mechanics, interesting character customization coupled with great art direction, a compelling world, and thoroughly enjoyable gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is immersive and fluid.”
    • “The gameplay of the ending felt dumb as hell.”
    • “It's just as well that combat is pathetically easy as well, because the 'assassin' gameplay style doesn't work - outside of the tutorial zone, nothing dies when backstabbed, even with the superior quality weapons obtained by killing the guards and the critical upgrade attachments.”
    • “Gameplay clunky and meh - you can't pass a gate but you can climb next to it while guards are watching, if you enter a hostile area you can't kill any guard, combat system is basically right click, crafting system terribly confusing and no use(?), tons of junk to loot as well becoming overweight seriously fast.”
  • graphics
    80 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the unique art style, often described as cell-shaded and reminiscent of titles like Borderlands, while others find them outdated or problematic. Players appreciate the vibrant colors and detailed environments, which contribute to an immersive atmosphere, though some report issues with performance and navigation due to the isometric perspective. Overall, while the visuals are generally well-received, they are accompanied by occasional glitches and mechanical challenges that can detract from the experience.

    • “The graphics and art style are pleasing to the eye.”
    • “Graphics are immersive with a cyberpunk ambience radiating everywhere the player sets his eyes upon.”
    • “Broken combat, ugly graphics, nonsensical plot, and rubbish voice acting with terrible music.”

    • “Graphics are okay, but in general, the game seems unpolished and very cookie-cutter.”
  • optimization
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including stuttering, long loading times, and frame drops in populated areas. While some users noted improvements in enhanced editions or patches, others experienced persistent bugs and unresponsive combat mechanics.

    • “Very good optimization using Unreal Engine, immersive with solid gameplay.”
    • “One more proof of the crafting system not being optimized and incentivized.”
    • “In some parts of the game, there is so much happening and so few optimizations that it starts lagging, and if you find yourself dying because of frame drops, don't feel scared; near the end of the game, it happens a lot, and sometimes loading screens might take a long time to end.”
    • “It's well written, well designed, and entirely worth playing... that's why it's so frustrating that it is so poorly optimized.”
  • music
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising its immersive and atmospheric qualities, often likening it to memorable soundtracks from other titles like Diablo and The Witcher 3.

    • “Fantastic music.”
    • “Broken combat, ugly graphics, nonsensical plot, and rubbish voice acting with terrible music.”

    • “Music is bland.”
  • stability
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with many players reporting significant bugs, glitches, and crashes that hinder gameplay. While some users have noted improvements after patches, the initial release was described as a "buggy mess," leading to a mixed reception regarding its overall stability. Despite these issues, some players still find the game enjoyable and recommend it for those who can overlook the technical problems.

  • atmosphere
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its engaging and immersive qualities, featuring a blend of great graphics, sound design, and a compelling narrative. Reviewers highlight its ability to create a gritty, post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting reminiscent of titles like Blade Runner and Elex, making it enjoyable for RPG fans and those seeking a rich atmospheric experience. Overall, the combination of art style, music, and thematic depth contributes to a captivating world that players find both fun and memorable.

    • “Great story, great atmosphere, great music, great quests etc. sure it could have used a little polish here and there but damn if it was not the most fun I've had in an RPG in a long while.”
    • “However, this feels very natural, because despite the surreal atmosphere, the world is grounded in human, personal and recognizable themes and stories.”
    • “The good: the graphics are really good, art style is exceptionally good, the color palette suits the theme resulting in an engrossing atmosphere.”
    • “Also very similar to Dragon Age: Inquisition, but you are just playing the rogue class. You are only controlling one character, and it has a modern dystopian atmosphere.”
    • “The good: the graphics are really good, the art style is exceptionally good, and the color palette suits the theme, resulting in an engrossing atmosphere.”
    • “Dig the cel-shading with the cyber atmosphere.”
  • humor
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, featuring excellent dialogues, hilarious broken mechanics, and entertaining character interactions. Players enjoy the comedic elements of NPC behavior, such as guards' absurd actions and the protagonist's witty banter, which contribute to a lighthearted atmosphere despite the game's darker themes.

    • “It has some of the most hilariously broken game mechanics I've ever seen, and the end result is absolutely hilarious.”
    • “Backstabbing people not only removes them, but also allows you to do this hilarious AI spiral where an NPC will see a dead guy in the middle of the street and then immediately walk over to loot the body, turning their back to you and allowing you to stab them as well.”
    • “Voice acting and dialogue in the game is hilarious and a lot better than many other titles.”
    • “The humor fell flat for me; it felt forced and didn't land as intended.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but most of the jokes were stale and predictable.”
    • “While there were a few clever moments, the overall comedic timing was off, making it hard to enjoy.”
  • grinding
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, with inventory management and crafting systems that lack clarity and efficiency. The need for extensive backtracking and the slow pace of unlocking fast travel points contribute to a sense of monotony, while side quests often feel like busy work rather than meaningful content. Overall, the game struggles to respect players' time, leading to a less enjoyable experience.

    • “Map exploration can require a ton of tedious backtracking because unlocking fast travel points is difficult in early game.”
    • “Its incredibly tedious to do anything.”
    • “Combine it with an uninspired crafting and alchemy system which forces you to scour for fifty types of ingredients just to be able to craft one healing injection or a small weapon upgrade, and it quickly becomes tedious.”
  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the interesting aspects of character growth through exploration and quest completion, others criticize the lack of experience-based progression and overall depth, feeling it falls short for an RPG.

    • “The exploration is satisfying, and the character development is interesting.”
    • “There is no experience-based character development; you earn skill points by completing quests, side quests, or simply finding them throughout the world map.”
    • “If there is something else I would criticize apart from the camera, it would be the overall character development throughout the game.”
    • “The combat was difficult, and while this game is listed as an RPG, it had very little character development.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability with multiple endings and various pathways, encouraging players to explore different outcomes. Additionally, the engaging skill upgrades and compelling storyline enhance the overall experience, making it a worthwhile investment for players seeking long-term enjoyment.

    • “With untold hours of replayability, fun skills and upgrades, a great soundtrack, and a compelling storyline, this game is a great buy!”
    • “There is huge replayability, with multiple endings and many pathways to get there.”
    • “The game is much more playable and allows you to develop all its potential.”
    • “Seven is much more playable and is able to develop all its potential.”
    • “The game lacks variety, making it hard to find motivation for a second playthrough.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by a free DLC that evokes strong feelings, potentially leading to tears. Additionally, the voice acting, particularly in the game's climax, effectively conveys deep emotions, even from a character with limited emotional range, showcasing a powerful performance of cold fury.

    • “There is also a free DLC that might make one shed a tear.”
    • “Artanak's voice acting also delivered a powerful performance, especially at the very end of the game, despite having a much more emotionally limited character to work with - he portrays cold, outraged fury exceptionally well.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is enhanced by its appealing cell-shaded art style and high-quality graphics, which contribute to an immersive experience, although the presence of ads may detract from the overall enjoyment.
