The verdict
A stylish dystopian story with great atmosphere, music and characters, held back by bloated, buggy, repetitive gameplay in a big procedural world. Skip it if you need strong gameplay.
Great for
Story-focused players who love dystopian settings and can forgive janky stealth and combat
Main risk
Boring fetch-quest gameplay and an empty procedural world that wear you down before the story pays off
What players love
Unique atmosphere and art style
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
