Review anarchistica 4/5 · Sep 27, 2021
Seems great despite a bad start
Pro
- It looks great.
- Hidden HUD works for the most part.
- Overall gameplay is solid.
- Combat is much better.
- Lootables are highlighted, which i love.
- Most of the voice acting is fine.
Con
- Diego has the worst voice acting i've ever seen. He constantly pauses for no reason like a William Shatner on steroids.
- Terrible terrible intro that takes far …

Con
- Diego has the worst voice acting i've ever seen. He constantly pauses for no reason like a William Shatner on steroids.
- Terrible terrible intro that takes far too long. Seriously, let me skip all of this and play the damn game.
- Can't skip (lines during) conversations. Conversations take way too long because of this.
- Climbing ladders is too slow, either vastly speed it up or make it automatic (and let me jump down).
- Invisible walls and generally clunky movement on rocks and the like. I had to reload because i got stuck.
- Inconsistent controls. Sometimes you close with Escape, sometimes Q, etc.
- Terrible menu controls. Choosing subsections should just be done with arrows, not E.
- No quest markers. I briefly lost the guy i was supposed to follow, he didn't wait either.
- If you don't have a key for something you can't move while your character says you need a key. Very annoying.
- Tutorials keep repeating, even during combat.
Conclusion
If they fix all the things slowing the game down, streamline the controls and redo Diego's voice-acting this will be an amazing game.
