Getting past the bugs and the soft locks, which have by and large been patched out, this game is truly a labor of love for GSC. The gameplay is crisp and fresh, feeling well put together, and very well executed.

Currently the A-Life system is still believed to be broken, so when that is fixed I will not see any issues with the game.

The best pro is how responsive GSC has been, and how quick they have been to fix problems that would take companies like CD Project Red months.

GSC patched out over 800 bugs and softlocks in 7 days, and put out a patch a day after that (1.0.1 and 1.0.2), to fix a bug that appeared and soft locked another quest. They just released 1.0.3 as well.

This game is fantastic looking, feeling, and playing, and it deserves you to give it a shot.

Fantastic graphics, PVE/Story gameplay is amazing. The PVP is good, but plays Overwatch-esque, which is fine; However people are playing expecting it to be CoD.

The writing is great, and is really a worthwhile experience so far. Can't wait for future updates.

It's not optimized very well, having a 4k irl video they filmed of a steak cooking on standby is a little goofy, but the game is super fun. I didn't play the first one, I tried, but it's aged very poorly.

Overall game is very enjoyable.

This is likely going to be the greatest game of our generation, if not, of all time.

The game just starts to feel very samey after the first couple missions. While it was enjoyable and funny, it's not worth the price tag. Pick it up on sale only.

I have an Intel 11700KF with a 3080ti. Somehow I can run any other game in the world at 144fps, but this one. Very poorly optimized.

There is decent sized learning curve when you first start the game, but it's not that difficult nor does it take very long to figure things out. Basic resource management and being a cunning diplomat will win you games.

So much fun.
