looks like another abysmal performance showing on series x.

It's not abysmal at all. But it doesn't feel next-gen either.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Well, I've been playing it and didn't experience any of those issues so far. I'm playing on a LG VRR display so maybe that's smoothing things out or maybe something is wrong w/ their install or patch...

Same here, I saw in another thread that they did their review before the latest patch came out, which was a day or two after the day one patch.

Holy crap just started playing this, this must be the longest intro sequence ever.

Yeah the intro does drag on for a while lol.

But I really enjoyed the game. It feels like a huge homage to Bioshock Infinite in so many ways.

The elevator music that plays when you are upgrading in this game is the real MVP of the show. IT is great.

It really is great ambient music. Reminds me of Deus Ex. I noticed it as well.

Not nearly as good, though.

loving the game so far, as someone who really cant be fucked with open world games much anymore i was pleasantly surprise how "restricted" the world is in these and the dungeons/mission areas can be huge.

the upgrade vending machine music tho... god damn, stuck in my brain

 

[oji-san]

How in the world can someone give this 40 or 50? I get you didn't like the game but in no way this is lower then 70.

Finished it this morning. Pretty good. Music is top tier in this game. Combat can be rough.

The QTE on the twin fight has such a small window I was lucky to get it on my 20th try.

Overall a good game an 8 I would say.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think some of the achievements are bugged. My complete VDNH achievement didn’t pop. My ultimate weapon didn’t pop and I have done all of those.

Normal.

Aye they're totally borked. I've completed, got all of the guns etc, none of them came up.

I've read that every time you shut the game off they reset..

I didnt care though, I loved the game. Cant wait to see what Mundfish will do next.

I'm not very far in the game, but wow its pretty fucking hard? Or i suck at games now

At first the game seems relatively difficult, yes.

But as soon as the lovely "Nora" levels up your shooting irons and skills, things really get going. When it comes to skills, I would limit myself to one and fully develop it. Mass Telikinesis for example is very powerful.

On the surface in the more open areas, the enemies respawn again and again. (Imo the only design flaw that you can really blame the game for). I wouldn't waste too much time here. Do a few puzzle dungeons, clear out a house here and there, but then take a car and drive straight to the next main mission.

 

[Lambhalf]

This game deserves a higher score. So far, it's a really fun game. It reminds me of why I loved FPS games.

 

[Eiknarf]

How’s the replay value on this sucker?

 

[Bavarian_Sloth]

Not very high in my opinion. The main levels are linear and the semi-open world sections are rather annoying because of the constantly respawning opponents. The only thing left are the Legacy Puzzle Dungeons. But those you can just visit again after completing the main story.

 

[oji-san]

Agree, outside of testing grounds there's nothing to find in the open world, no side quests or special weapons etc.

It starts of very challenging but man about mid way you kill everything with ease. Keep going it's worth it.
