Most of the negative reviews will say this game is unfinished.
For Wintermute, at time of writing, this is true. (scheduled to be finished 2025, with the sequel coming to early access 2026)

However, the devs have not been lazy. I'd argue there is more story-content in the DLC and regular survival mode of the game than there is in Wintermute (the designated story mode). This game is so much more than its story, otherwise myself and many others would never have sunk hundreds of hours into this game. If you buy this game, buy it for the stories YOU make while playing, not for the ones the devs make for you.

No other game I've played has ever immersed me into its world more than this one. If you come into playing with the outlook that every death teaches you a valuable lesson, you'll go far. Other reviews can better describe how amazing this game is, just know it feels and plays like a finished game, because everywhere except Wintermute, it is one.
